Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

WHAT IS HIV?

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is one of the most serious, deadly diseases in human history.

HIV causes a condition called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome — better known as AIDS.

 A very dangerous virus that attacks the white blood cells of the body which are the body immune (defense) system. They ultimately fight off anti bodies which could cause sickness, but with HIV present in the body this process cannot occur.

If you are HIV positive be positive about it cause it will only kill you if you dont speak up and get help.

 The red ribbon is a universal sign of the Fight against HIV and AIDS

HIV destroys a type of defense cell in the body called a CD4 helper

lymphocyte (pronounced: lim-fuh-site).

These lymphocytes are part of the body's immune system, the defense system that fights infections.
