Abstinence:Voluntarily staying away from something, such as sex, alcohol, or other drugs. It is 100% effective for preventing HIV infection.
AIDS:A condition caused by a virus that makes the immune system unable to fight off simple infections.
HIV:The virus that causes AIDS.
Asymptomatic:Showing no outward sign of infection, not feeling sick.
Blood:major transmitter of HIV
Condom:This can help prevent the transmission of HIV during sex.
Death:AIDS is fatal.
HIVNEGATIVE:A person's blood is not producing antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus
HIVPOSITIVE:White blood cells that are created by an individual's immune system because of the presence of HIV.
IMMUNESYSTEM:A system that fights and kills bacteria, viruses, and foreign cells. HIV weakens it.
Pneumocystiscarini:A type of pneumonia caused by a bacterium that is present in all lungs but which can make a person very sick when she or he has a weakened immune system.
Vagina:has membranes that can absorb HIV during sex. It can also secretes fluids that can transmit HIV
Semen:carries sperms and also HIV
ELISATEST:Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay—a commonly used test used to detect the presence or absence of HIV antibodies in the blood.
retrovirus:The type of virus that stores its genetic information in a single-stranded RNA molecule, instead of in double-stranded DNA; HIV is this.
HAART:Highly active anti-retroviral therapy—aggressive anti-HIV treatment, usually including a combination of protease and reverse transcriptase inhibitors, whose purpose is to reduce viral load to undetectable levels.
WESTERNBLOT:A test for detecting antibodies to HIV in the blood, it is commonly used to verify positive ELISA tests.
InjectableDrug:Any activity that involves using a needle to get the drugs into the body. Common transmitter of HIV.
KaposisSarcoma:A rare form of cancer found most often in people with AIDS. This type of cancer causes bleeding under the skin.
