HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)

It is viral, that is what the V stands for. It can be treated but at this time cannot be cured. A person can live a long and healthy live after being infected with HIV if they stay on the drug regimen prescribed by the doctor. They need to see an infectious disease doctor. With all the research being done, a cure is sure to come about soon. HIV is not AIDS and with proper treatment may never become AIDS.

HIV is found in the body fluids of an infected person (semen and vaginal fluids, blood and breast milk). The virus is passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood and sexual contact. In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their babies during pregnancy, delivering the baby during childbirth, and through breast feeding.

AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).
