It mostly targets cells which protect us from diseases and making it harder to fight against infections. If it is not treated at the right time then HIV can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), which is a more serious stage of the infections. But the good news is that today HIV is manageable. People who have HIV can live long and healthy lives, If their virus is detected too early and treated in a proper way. That is the reason by which we can say testing is so important. What Is HIV and How Does It Spread? HIV spreads through certain body fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. The common ways it spreads include: Unprotected sex with someone who has HIV Sharing needles or syringes From an HIV-positive mother to her baby during birth or breastfeeding Through infected blood transfusions (rare due to strict safety checks now) 💡 HIV is Not spread by hugging, kissing, shaking hands, or sharing food. Why Testing Matters Many people don’t know they have HIV because there may be no symptoms in the early stages. This makes regular testing even more important.
