is a virus that attacks cells that help the body fight infection, making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases.

HIV

Människokroppen kan inte bli av med hiv och det finns inget effektivt botemedel mot hiv. Därför, när du har HIV -sjukdom, har du det för livet.

Luckily, however, effective treatment with HIV medicine (called antiretroviral therapy or ART) is available now. If taken as prescribed, HIV medicine can reduce the amount of HIV in the blood (also called the viral load) to a very low level. Detta kallas viral suppression. If a person's viral load is so low that a standard lab can't detect it, this is called having an undetectable viral load. People with HIV who take HIV medicine as prescribed and get and keep an undetectable viral load can live long and healthy lives and will not transmit HIV to their HIV-negative partners through sex.

I USA utvecklar de flesta människor med HIV-infektion inte AIDS. Anledningen är att de tar HIV-medicin som ordinerats och stoppar utvecklingen av sjukdomen för att undvika detta effektivt.

Det enda sättet att veta om du har hiv är att testa dig. Testing is relatively simple and convenient. You can ask your health care provider for an HIV test. Many medical clinics, substance abuse programs, community health centers. If you are not avalible for all of these,then hospital is also a good choice for you.
