HIV/AIDs & HIV Prevention

About HIV

HIV is the virus that causes the infection. When a person is infected with HIV, the virus attacks and gradually destroys the CD4 cells (T cells) in the immune system. CD4 cells play a crucial role in helping the immune system fight off infections.
HIV to AIDs

AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection. It is diagnosed when the immune system is severely damaged, and the CD4 cell count drops below a certain threshold, or when certain opportunistic infections or cancers occur.
PEP as HIV Prevention

PEP, or Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, is a preventive medical treatment used to reduce the risk of HIV infection after potential exposure. PEP involves taking a combination of antiretroviral drugs within a specified timeframe after a possible exposure to HIV.
