4. -HIV is a descendant of a Simian
Immunodeficiency Virus
- concluded that wild chimps had been
infected simultaneously with two different
simian immunodeficiency viruses which
had "viral sex" to form a third virus that
could be passed on to other chimps and,
more significantly, was capable of
infecting humans and causing AIDS.

7. -Originated from the jungles of
Africa
- Currently, ALL OVER THE
WORLD
- That’s why it’s call an epidemic

9. - You might not know if you get infected by HIV. Some
people get fever, headache, sore muscles and joints,
stomach ache, swollen lymph glands, or a skin rash for
one or two weeks. Most people think it's the flu. Some
people have no symptoms
- The virus will multiply in your body for a few weeks or
even months before your immune system responds
- When your immune system responds, it starts to
make antibodies
- When this happens, you will test positive for HIV
- During this time, HIV is damaging your immune
system
- One way to measure the damage to your immune
system is to count your CD4+ cells
12. - having sex with an infected person;
- sharing a needle (shooting drugs)
with someone who's infected;
-being born when their mother is
infected, or drinking the breast milk
of an infected woman;
- through blood transfusion.

14. There is no cure for AIDS.
There are drugs that can slow
down the HIV virus, and slow
down the damage to your
immune system. There is no
way to "clear" HIV from the
body.
