Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic disease, doubtlessly a life-threatening disease, triggered with the aid of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

AIDS destroying your immune system, it begins with HIV interfering with your body’s antibodies that combats diseases.

I have recently seen on social media numerous groups dedicated to denying that HIV is a genuine medical diagnosis, some having thousands of followership and fan base. I wonder what they gain from such propaganda. HIV/AIDS is very real, as in immune deficiency, is real enough. It absolutely can be acquired.

How is HIV spread?

HIV is seen to be sexually transmitted disease, although it is but there are more means of acquiring the virus. The person-to-person transmission of the virus is one aspect, HIV can mainly be transmitted (spread) only in certain body fluids from a man or woman infected.
These are the other means through which the virus can be transmitted, through

1. Blood
2. semen
3. pre-seminal fluids
4. Rectal fluids
5. vaginal fluids
6. Breast milk.

HIV transmission is solely possible if these fluids come in contact with a mucous membrane or broken tissue or are immediately injected into the bloodstream. Mucous membranes are observed inside the rectum, the vagina, the opening of the penis, and the mouth.

In Nigeria, HIV is mainly spread frequently by: Having anal or vaginal intercourse with any individual who has HIV without the use of condom or taking drugs to prevent or treat HIV Sharing injection drug tools, such as needles, with any one who is HIV+.

I want to end this article by advising all to embrace faithfulness and abstinence, I have come to realize that we cannot resolve this problem with the distribution of condoms, on the contrary, it has been increasing yearly.

If the weather is not good for the aircraft to fly, it is better not to fly, even if you have a parachute, than to risk your life flying in a bad weather. it is safer not to use condom, than taking the risk.
