HIV/AIDS awareness

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, while AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is the final stage of HIV infection, where the immune system is severely damaged. Awareness of HIV/AIDS is crucial for prevention, early detection, and reducing stigma. It involves understanding how the virus is transmitted (primarily through unprotected sex, sharing needles, and from mother to child), recognizing symptoms, and knowing that it can be managed with medication, allowing individuals to live long, healthy lives. Education and proactive measures are essential for combating the spread of HIV and supporting those affected.
