Contracting HIV is a significant concern due to its potential to lead to AIDS, which severely compromises the immune system and increases vulnerability to infections and certain cancers. Additionally, HIV is primarily transmitted through high-risk behaviors, making awareness and prevention crucial to curtail its spread. Stigma and discrimination associated with HIV can hinder individuals from seeking testing and treatment, exacerbating public health challenges. Effective management and prevention strategies are essential for improving health outcomes and reducing transmission rates.
