Undetectable =untransmittable
HIV can only transmit through fluids that contain a certain amount of the virus. If a
person has undetectable levels of HIV, the virus cannot transmit to another person.
Doctors consider HIV to be undetectable when the amount of the virus in the
body is so low that a blood test cannot identify it.
4. Effects of HIV/AIDS on Body
• What is difference between HIV and
AIDS?
-HIV is human immunodeficiency virus which attacks and destroys
CD4 cells (t-cells or helper cells).
T-cells keep people healthy but when they’re attacked, immunity
system begins failing.
Without treatment, this cycle can continue until the immune system is
badly compromised, leaving a person at risk for serious illnesses
and infections.
The timing of diagnosis and treatment makes a huge difference.
5. • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is
the final stage of HIV. At this stage, the immune
system is severely weakened, and the risk of
contracting even the minor infections is much
greater and can be fatal.
• However, not everyone with HIV will go on to
develop AIDS. The earlier a person receives
treatment, the better their outcome will be.

life?
