An HIV diagnosis can completely transform your life and cause a flood of emotions. On the other side, reading blogs written by HIV-positive people and healthcare professionals can help you realize you're not alone.

How can a person become HIV-positive?

HIV can be contracted when bodily fluids from an infected person enter your bloodstream. Blood, sperm, vaginal fluids, anus fluids, and breast milk are all examples of body fluids.

The virus can enter the bloodstream through the linings of the mouth, anus, and sex organs (penis and vaginal) as well as broken skin. Males and females can both transmit HIV.

You can have HIV and be perfectly healthy while passing it on to others. Pregnant HIV-positive women can spread the virus to their unborn offspring.

The two most common ways for people to catch HIV are having intercourse with an infected person and sharing a needle to use drugs.

It is impossible to catch HIV from:

⦁ An HIV/AIDS patient being touched or hugged.
⦁ Public bathrooms or swimming pools
⦁ It is not a good idea to share cups, utensils, or phones with someone who has HIV/AIDS.
⦁ Insect bites are common.
⦁ It is an excellent idea to donate blood.

Who is at risk for HIV infection?

If someone who is HIV-positive is exposed to it, they can contract it. You're more likely to develop HIV if you do any of the following:

⦁ Have sex with a wide range of people (men or women).
⦁ Have unsafe intercourse with an infected person.
⦁ People exchange needles to ingest drugs or steroids.
⦁ Have unprotected intercourse for drugs or money.
⦁ Have you been diagnosed with a new sexually transmitted disease? (STI).

What is the HIV/AIDS treatment?

If you have HIV, your doctor will prescribe antiretroviral therapy (ART) to lower your viral load (viral load) to undetectable levels and to slow the progression of HIV through the phases.
