                                            WORLD AIDS DAY ‼️
AlDS is the most advanced form of HIV.
It Kills those who do not take treatment, because the disease destroys the cells that fight against infection. 
 If you  you have AIDS, it will be difficult for you to recover from any illness.
It's Transmitted through ;
Sexual in*******se with  infected partners whose viral load is detectable
From mother to baby if measures are not taken during delivery or a mother who refuses to take treatment during pregnancy.
Exchanging needles with infected partners.
An infected mother can transmit to her baby through breastfeeding if she is not taking anti retro viral and the baby is not also on treatment. 
You can get  the disease through infected equipment used  to draw a tattoo on your body. 
Ladies in the salon please get personal equipment or be sure that it's disinfected before used on you,  if an infected one pricks your head then you are at risk. 
I  could go on 👋
 No matter  how it can be contracted,
There is good news 🤗
HIV on its on doesn't kill, today we have antiretrovals in most health facilities around us that helps bring you back your immune system to normal 
What you need to do is;
‼️Each time you get exposed to the virus by any means, go to the health facility before 24hrs, you will be given drugs for prevention and a RDV for the  test
 Endeavor to take a test every three months. 
If your test is positive, it can be normal for you to panic but always remember that a good life awaits you if you take your drugs normally, at a certain point your test will be  undetectable meaning you cannot transmit it to your partner or baby during dilivery. 
The team of this year is " LET COMMUNITIES LEAD" 
 Let's suppose that all infected individuals decide to take their drugs effectively, this will mean that  in Less than a year this people will not be able to transmit it and that will be the end💃
 
Let's not stigmatise people leaving with HIV/AIDS, you never know how they got it. Be compationate towards them, encourage them to take their drugs normally, that is also a preventive method for. You are a community, the person you know leaving with the disease might seem far from you, but  your sibling, spouse or Child  might one day be involved in an accident or in any kind of contact that could lead to transmission and you will be directly involved whereas if you encrouged that person to take his or her drugs it would have ended there 
If you know any body around you that is infected and not taking drugs, just know that it's your responsibility for that person to start treatment, go to the nearest hospital and get a specialist that will help the person, you could do this even without the the person's knowledge 
Together let's fight against HIV and AIDS
 An infected couple can have birth healthy babies,
There is hope 💪
Happy world AIDS DAY to  you who is HIV positive and taking treatment,  I know you are happy That you took the best decision. To you who is is not for fear of the unknown or just too angry about the situation I encourage you to start your treatment now and  and trust me, 
Before this time next your your viral load will be undetectable.
If you're results are negative, prevention should be your daily bread.
