HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency
HIV is transmitted by body fluids including blood,semen,vaginal secretions, and breast milk
HIV prevention begins with avoiding behavior that will put a person at risk such as illegal drug use and sharing needles or having unprotected sex with someone who is HIV positive...this is one of the most common ways to catch the disease.
The information I learned from the fact sheets is about which race has the highest percentage of being HIV positive and which is the most common way people die from HIV which is starting from heterosexuals and transmitted around because of unprotected sex.
