About:
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a HIV is a lifelong condition with no cure available currently. However, antiretroviral therapy helps manage HIV and those infected may live with the virus for a longer time. HIV can further develop to a more severe condition called AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).
Moreover, HIV/AIDS is also an emerging disease throughout the world but many still refuse to get tested or even receive proper treatment. This may be because of the lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS, as well as the discrimination and shame that is come along with it.
