World Aids Day 1.12.2013



1st. December 2013
 The killer disease is still on the run and many people are already dead, several are suffering.
Keep the promise and help spread the right message.

HIV
HIV stands for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is a virus which attacks the body's immune system — the body's defence against diseases.

HIV can be passed on through infected bodily fluids, most commonly via sex without a condom or by sharing infected needles, syringes or other injecting drug equipment.

There are now more people than ever living with HIV in the world some of whom are unaware they have the virus.
•Many people with HIV are infected through unprotected sexual contact
•You can now get tested for HIV using a saliva sample
•HIV is not passed on through spitting, biting or sharing utensils
•Only 1% of babies born to HIV positive mothers have HIV
•You can get the results of an HIV test on the same day of testing so don't wait, test yourself

KEEP THE PROMISE
