| HIV is a virus which damages the immune system
(body’s defence system) so that it cannot fight off
infections. HIV is passed from person to person when blood, semen,
vaginal fluids of an infected person enters the body of an uninfected
person. Many people with HIV have no symptoms. Some people experience flu like symptoms a few weeks after being infected with possibly fever, rash, swollen glands, sore throat, mouth or throat ulcers and aching joints. It can take up to three months after coming into contact with HIV before the virus can be detected in a person’s blood so a test may not show HIV straight away. Get Tested!
