HIV

HIV is a chronic disease which means it does not have a cure. However, with correct treatment, it can be managed.

If you are HIV positive the best way to help your immune system to stay strong and fight infection is to take your medication as prescribed by your doctor. 

It is beneficial to know your status. Knowledge about your HIV status protects not only you, but also your loved ones. The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) recommends everyone between the age of 13 and 64 get tested for HIV as least once.

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is the most severe stage of HIV. People with AIDS have extremely damaged immune systems.
