This document discusses counselling for HIV/AIDS. It explains that HIV can cause AIDS by reducing the body's natural immunity. AIDS testing is important for detecting infection early. Counselling provides confidential support to help patients cope with stress and make personal decisions related to their HIV status. Counselling aims to support patients' physical, psychological and social health by providing information, addressing risk behaviors, and offering unconditional emotional support. Specialized counselling is needed for HIV/AIDS due to the diverse personal, family, and social impacts of the disease. Counselling sessions should provide information to help infected individuals care for themselves and modify behaviors to protect their immune system. Counsellors must clearly explain test results and ensure clients are comfortable seeking follow-up

pleurisy, tuberculosis, tuberculosis,
cancer, becomes easy and difficult to
treat and even death of the patient.
