HIV/AIDS - Living with HIV/AIDS

How to live with the HIV/AIDS and take care of an infected person?

Social exclusion and discrimination towards HIV/AIDS infected persons is the first destructive weapon that leads to their deaths. Infected persons face many challenges and must take particular hygiene measures and follow appropriate treatments to stay healthy. The more we learn to take care of the HIV/AIDS infected persons, the more we reduce the risks of transmission. The infected persons can go on with their professional, familial and sexual lives while taking precautions to protect themselves and those close to them.
