Define HIV and AIDS.
HIV or Human immunodeficiency virus attacks directly the white blood cells and makes us prone to all types of sickness. Aids, in other terms, happens to be the final stage of the virus where the body gives up. It becomes heavily infected with all other deadly diseases that lead to death.

How to prevent AIDS?
AIDS can be transmitted via sex with the infected person, the infected person’s blood, body fluids, or contaminated injection needles. Whenever you feel that you become vulnerable to HIV infection, go to the hospital and get diagnosed.
The doctors test your body fluids and tell you what needs to be done. They would recommend the proper drugs and injections to not get the aids. They also would give you antiretroviral therapy with a lot of antiviral drugs so you can live long and safe.
How to manage life with HIV?
Managing life with HIV doesn't necessarily have to be hard but rather just like any other chronic illness. Chronic diseases will be there in your body for a lifetime and have no cure. One can handle it simply using the medications along with some lifestyle changes.
Know your body and health for starters. Eat on time, sleep on time and eat fresh healthy food, or avoid junk food. Quit smoking, drinking, or any harsh activities you do to yourself. Engage in a conversation with your partners and make them aware of your disorders so they can take precautions.
