Thus, compromising your body’s capability of defending you from any other types of diseases.

HIV/AIDS and Its Prevention

Medical AIDS is found to be transmitted through the exchange of blood directly, or indirectly, from a person who has it to another who doesn’t. It was even considered at first to be only transmitted through physical contact or sexual intercourse. But because of the researches and studies, we are now informed that it can be transmitted in different ways that involve blood transfusion or exchange. Having known the possible ways to get infected with medical AIDS, people are now being warned to be more careful in dealing with unsterilized sharp instruments like needles, injection syringe, or even hair clipper that can be sources of blood transmission. Of course, non-protected sexual contact is still considered one of the possible ways to acquire the said disease.
