1. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks cells of immune system and weakens its ability to defend against infections and diseases, and causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).

2. HIV is transmitted in several ways including:

• Having unprotected, casual sexual intercourse

• Receiving infected blood during blood transfusion

• Sharing infected needles or other sharp objects

• From a mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

3. HIV is the foremost infectious disease killer in the world.

4. India has the third largest population of HIV-infected individuals in the world, after South Africa and Nigeria.

5. About 33.4 million people are living with HIV worldwide (according to 2008 statistics), and an estimated 2.08 million people were living with HIV in India in 2011.

6. The first case of HIV in India was detected in Chennai in 1986.

7. About 0.116 million people were newly infected with HIV in India in 2011.

8. An estimated 1.7 million people died of HIV/AIDS in 2011.

9. Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) prevents the HIV virus from multiplying in the body, and improves immunity.

10. Mother-to-child transmission of HIV is almost entirely preventable by ART.

11. Gay and bisexual men of all races around the world are the most radically affected by HIV.

• Avoiding sharing needles and syringes

• Ensuring that all blood or blood products used in transfusion are tested for HIV.

HIV AIDS is real o shocked

, denying it is like denying there are no sexual transmitted diseases. See eh, I've seen someone died of HIV aids. My aunt is a nurse and this particular fair lady always comes to treat neither rashes or fever, cough and chest pain problems. They finally admitted her in her mother's house, that's was the first time I heard the world HIV AIDS, I would be in Jss1 then. Unfortunately she infected her bf.

I knew of a family that lost both dad and mom to it.

Don't think is a prank cos it's very real.

I liken d way money goes around in circulation to sex.. say 4 instance a certain #20 note is contaminated with a certain deadly disease. Could u begin to imagine how many people dat would die contaminating dat disease. I site dis example bcoz sex circulates desame way money does.
