Definition
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's
natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off
disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV. White blood cells are an
important part of the immune system. HIV infects and destroys certain white blood cells
called CD4+ cells. If too many CD4+ cells are destroyed, the body can no longer defend itself
against infection.
Caused
Most people get the virus by having unprotected sex with someone who has HIV.
Another common way of getting it is by sharing drug needles with someone who is
infected with HIV.
The virus can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth, or
breastfeeding.

are sure that you and your partner aren't infected with HIV or other sexually

has sex only with you.

HIV. Get tested together. Getting tested again at 6, 12, and 24 weeks after the first test
can be done to be sure neither of you is infected. aUse condoms in the meantime.
