Comparison chart
| There is no cure for AIDS. | There is an antiretroviral medication which slows the progression from HIV to AIDS, and it can keep many people healthy for many years. However, these medicines are not widely available in poor countries. There is still no cure for HIV. |
| Only individuals affected with HIV can develop AIDS. HIV infection usually progresses to AIDS in an average of 10 years. However, someone in a resource-poor area who might not be adequately nourished may well progress to AIDS and death more rapidly. | HIV is spread through sex, the exchange of certain body fluids, including blood, pre-ejaculate, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. HIV is not spread through casual contact, hugging or shaking hands. |
| AIDS is the most advanced stage of the HIV disease. It occurs when the individual’s immune system is weakened by HIV to a point where the individual develops one or more of about 25 ‘opportunistic infections’ (OIs). | A virus. HIV harms the body’s immune system by attacking certain cells, known as helper T cells or CD4 cells. A weakened immune system is not able to defend the body against illnesses. |

How HIV spread?
Myth about HIV
1. You can tell if someone is HIV-positive simply by looking at them ???
.jpg)
perhaps you don't have to read all articles to know about HIV and AIDS
at least you should know something about it
rather than not knowing anything
because , as you can see
the thing that's happening is
people discriminate them
and this is not helping
and some might think
" why is he/she seems so concern about this? they have the disease? "
that's make me wonder whether they have
high educated mentality or not
because , knowing doesn't mean that you have it
aware doesn't mean that you are pertain to it
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
that's why we tried to have sex education since you are young
which is to avoid you from involving in anything
awareness is needed
yet
you still have to know
where is the limit of knowing
you should know
the objective of the education is to prevent you
not to let you into the " world " of prevention

Myth about HIV
1. You can tell if someone is HIV-positive simply by looking at them ???
The
vast majority of people with HIV look perfectly normal.
It’s only in late-stage HIV that other, more obvious symptoms emerge. Even then they aren’t automatically identified as HIV.

2. You can get HIV from straight sex ???
Heterosexual
intercourse is
now the most common way of acquiring the virus.
It accounts for the vast majority of new cases right across the world.
3. HIV can be passed through urine or saliva ???

3. HIV can be passed through urine or saliva ???
The
virus isn’t present in high enough numbers to pose a threat this way.
4. Touching someone with HIV can pass it on ???
HIV
cannot be passed on through activities, such as sharing cutlery, sitting on
toilet seats or by shaking hands. Neither can it be passed on through a
mosquito bite or bites from other animals or insects.
