    The immune system is very important - it protects the body by fighting off germs and infections. Normally, the body's immune system would be able to fight off infection.<br />
    <br />
    But HIV is able to infect key cells, called CD4 cells, which work to protect the body against infections. Over a long time HIV makes the immune system so weak that the body can no longer fight sickness. Once you have HIV in your body you are said to be HIV positive.<br />
    <br />
    The virus was originally identified in Paris in May 1983 by Luc Montagnier. It belongs to a group of viruses called retroviruses. Once cells become infected with HIV they stay infected for the rest of their lives.<br /></p></div>""")

    Acquired: This means that you must do something to get AIDS. It cannot be passed through the air.<br />
    Immune: This is the body's defence system that fights germs and infections.<br />
    Deficiency: This relates to the lack of CD4 cells that help to fight infections.<br />
    Syndrome: This refers to a collection of different signs and symptoms that are all part of a certain medical condition.<br />
    <br />
    AIDS is the result of the damage caused by the HIV to the immune system. A damaged immune system is unable to protect the body against certain specific 'opportunistic' infections and tumours. They are called 'opportunistic' because they are caused by organisms that are normally controlled by the immune system but which 'take the opportunity' to cause disease if the immune system has been damaged.<br />
    <br />
    When you are HIV positive you might contract opportunistic infections such as Tuberculosis (TB), Pneumonia (PCP) and different forms of cancer (Kaposi's Sarcoma). Note: if you have TB, Pneumonia or cancer it does not mean that you are HIV positive. You still need to get an HIV test. Unlike most other diseases, different people with AIDS may experience different health problems, depending on which specific opportunistic infections they develop.  See 1.4 What are the stages of the disease?<br />
    <br />
    The National AIDS Helpline provides a confidential, anonymous 24-hour toll-free telephone counselling, information and referral service for those infected and affected by HIV and AIDS.

     Blood (including menstrual blood)<br />
     Semen<br />
     Vaginal fluids<br />
     Breast milk<br />
    <br />
    HIV can only be passed to another person if these fluids get into the other person's body. The level of the virus in other bodily fluids such as saliva is far too low to be infectious. High-level laboratory techniques can detect the virus in other body fluids of HIV positive people but these are not infectious.<br />
    <br />
    HIV can be transmitted through having unprotected sex<br />
    <br />
    * Unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse with an HIV positive person puts you at risk of becoming infected. In South Africa, this is the most common way that HIV is spread.<br />
    * Anal intercourse is the most risky sexual behavior as it often leads to small tears through which the virus will pass easily.<br />
    * Oral sex may be unsafe if there are small cuts in the mouth and/or gum.<br />
    * The risk of HIV transmission through unprotected sex applies to all couples, whether you are in a heterosexual or same sex relationship.<br />
    * In heterosexual relationships, women are more at risk of infection by an HIV positive male partner than men are of being infected by an HIV positive female partner.<br />
    * In same sex relationships between men, anal sex is the most common form of transmission of HIV.<br />
    <br />
    HIV can be transmitted from a mother to her baby<br />
    <br />
    Mothers living with HIV run the risk of transmitting HIV to their infants during pregnancy, labour, delivery or breastfeeding.<br />
    This is called Mother-to-Child Transmission (MTCT).<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    HIV can be transmitted through intravenous drug use<br />
    <br />
    * Injecting drug users (IDUs) are at risk of becoming infected with HIV through the sharing of contaminated needles and/or syringes.<br />
    * When a person shoots drugs, a small amount of blood remains inside the needle and/or syringe. If the person is HIV positive, when others use the same needle, they inject the infected blood into their bloodstream.<br />
    <br />
    HIV can be transmitted through contact with contaminated blood and blood products<br />
    <br />
    * HIV can be transmitted through infected blood and blood products.<br />
    * In the past, before screening was introduced, HIV was transmitted through blood transfusions or from infected blood products.<br />
     These days, all donated blood used in hospitals is screened to prevent this.<br />
    * Universal Precautions are a set of precautions designed to prevent transmission of HIV when providing first aid or health care.<br />
    It is important to practise Universal Precautions - protect yourself by always wearing gloves when you work with blood or open wounds even when you know the person's HIV status.<br />
    <br />
    HIV can be transmitted through occupational exposure<br />
    <br />
    * HIV transmission can happen through accidents in the workplace.<br />
    * Healthcare workers or those who care for HIV positive people may come into contact accidentally with contaminated body fluids or may mistakenly prick themselves with a needle. However many research studies have proven that the virus is too weak to survive for long periods outside of the body so this risk is small.<br />

    <br />
    * Because you may feel and look fine on the outside, two tests are extremely important as they will help you to understand how strong your immune system actually is. Signs of immune damage can be detected by two laboratory tests:<br />
    - CD4 cell count<br />
    CD4 cells are cells in your body attached to the immune system. As HIV attacks the immune system, so the number of CD4 cells drop. Changes in CD4 cell count are helpful in showing whether or not HIV is damaging the immune system. A normal CD4 cell count in a person without HIV varies between 400 and 1600 cells per mm3. Immediately after a person becomes infected with HIV the CD4 cell count is likely to fall to a level several hundred cells below normal.<br />
    - Viral load test<br />
    This test detects the amount of HIV in your blood. The amount of virus is counted in the form of 'copies' per milliliter (ml) of blood: 10,000 copies per ml is low, and more than 100,000 copies per ml is high. Your viral load can go up briefly if you have an infection. Single viral load results don't matter as much as the trend in your viral load results.<br />
    <br />
    * The HI virus is always active in your body once you are infected. HIV actively increases during the asymptomatic period, mainly in the lymph nodes and lymphoid tissue, which are a perfect environment for the infection of new CD4 cells.<br />
    <br />
    * It is important to note that while you may feel fine, you are still able to infect others with the virus through unprotected sex and exposure to blood. The duration of this stage varies widely from one person to another. Some people decline rapidly in 2 years but 10 to 15% of people may show no signs of progression for 10 or more years.</p></div>""")

    <br />
    * STIs are infections that pass from one person to another, mainly through sexual intercourse. There are lots of different types of STIs: syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV, genital warts or crabs (lice). HIV is the only type of STI that causes AIDS. It is the most serious STI - the others are easily treatable and curable.<br />
    <br />
    * Getting an STI (besides HIV) increases the chance of HIV infection. The sores on your penis or vagina help the HIV enter your body through the broken skin, which cannot act as a barrier to HIV. These sores can also start to bleed during sex and this will make it easier for the HIV to enter your body. A discharge also makes it easier to get HIV.<br />
    <br />
    * An untreated STI can make someone who is HIV positive more infectious. For example, when untreated, gonorrhea can make a person with HIV more infectious as gonorrhea increases the number of HIV-infected cells in the genital area and in the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.<br />
    <br />
    * If you have an STI, it is important to use a condom when having sex to prevent it spreading further. Most STIs are very easy and cheap to treat. This can be done at a clinic or by your doctor, free of charge or for a small fee.<br />
    <br />
    Drug and alcohol abuse<br />
    <br />
    * HIV can be spread because you make bad judgment calls when you are under the influence of drugs. For example, when you are high you do not think clearly and have sex without a condom.<br />
    * Alcohol doesn't cause HIV infection. Alcohol reduces your ability to think clearly and you become more likely to make impulsive decisions and have unprotected sex.<br />
    <br />
    * If you are living with HIV, drug and alcohol abuse weakens the immune system. If you are HIV negative, a person with a poor immune system is more likely to become infected with HIV if he/she has unprotected sex.</p></div>""")

    * AIDS can be treated. As HIV progresses and the immune system weakens, you may get opportunistic infections (OIs). All clinics offer treatments for opportunistic infections.<br />
    <br />
    * Antiretroviral (ARV) therapy can also help you to live a longer, healthier life. ARVs are a lifelong treatment but not a cure for AIDS. Most people with HIV only need to take ARVs after many years.<br />
    <br />
    * In the meantime you should ask for regular CD4 and viral load tests to monitor the progression of HIV in your body. This will tell you how healthy your immune system is and the level of HIV in your body.<br />
    <br />
    * Guidelines have been developed in South Africa to help doctors, nurses, healthworkers and you decide if and when to start with antiretroviral treatment, usually if your CD4 count is near or below 200. There are many different HIV drugs and the Guidelines recommend what ARV combinations to start with.<br /></p></div>""")

    <br />
    * Around 20% of the adults in South Africa (ages 20-64) are HIV positive, as are around 29% of the women visiting antenatal clinics. This means that one in every five adults in South Africa is HIV positive.<br />
    <br />
    * In 2009, it is estimated that there are still around 1400 new HIV infections and around 1000 AIDS deaths every day.<br />
    <br />
    * Around 2.9 million South African have died from AIDS-related illnesses since the start of the epidemic. [3]<br />
    <br />
    * There is currently no cure for HIV. As long as there are more new infections than deaths, the total number of HIV positive people will continue to grow. It is interesting to note that if there are more deaths than new infections, the total number of HIV positive people will reduce. A smaller epidemic might not mean that we are 'winning the battle against new infections', it might mean that we are 'losing the battle against preventing AIDS deaths'.<br />
    <br />
    * South Africa has made progress in the treatment of AIDS sick patients. Around 60% of those in need of antiretroviral treatment were receiving treatment through public and private healthcare facilities by the end of 2008 [4]. More and more pregnant women receive antiretroviral treatment to prevent passing on the virus from mother to child.<br />
    <br />
    * Different provinces in South Africa experience different levels of HIV infections and AIDS related deaths:<br />
    - Kwazulu-Natal is experiencing the largest HIV epidemic in the country. Nearly 1.6 million people and almost a third of the adult population are HIV positive. Take-up on treatment has been slow.<br />
    - Gauteng has the second largest HIV epidemic with around 1.4 million HIV positive people and one in every five adults. Take-up on treatment is growing rapidly.<br />
    - The Eastern Cape epidemic is one of the fastest growing in the country with around 730 000 HIV positive people and one in every five adults. Take-up on treatment has also been extremely slow.<br />
    - Other provinces with big mature epidemics (epidemics with stable numbers of new infections and deaths) are the North West (500 000 HIV positive), Mpumalanga (450 000 HIV positive) and the Free State (400 000).<br />
    - The epidemic in Limpopo is also relatively big (430 000 HIV positive) and still growing.<br />
    - The Western Cape has the smallest HIV prevalence rate (6% of the total population or 300 000 people estimated to be HIV positive). Although the take-up on treatment is the highest, the province is still experiencing a growing epidemic.<br />
    - The Northern Cape epidemic is the smallest with around 67 000 people HIV positive. The epidemic in the province is also still growing. [5]</p></div>""")

    <br />
    * There is a lot of risky sexual behaviour in South Africa:<br />
    <br />
    - People don't use a condom every time they have sex.<br />
    - Many start having sex when they are very young which increases their chance of becoming infected.<br />
    - When HIV positive people have sex with older or younger partners the virus moves from generation to generation<br />
    - HIV positive people who don't know their status don't know they are infecting others.<br />
    - People change sexual partners often or have more than one sexual partner.<br />
    - Some people exchange sex for money or possessions.<br />
    <br />
    * The South African environment makes it easier to get infected through:<br />
    <br />
    - More and more South Africans move to cities where they have several sexual partners making it easier for the virus to spread.<br />
    - Poorer South African women may not be able to protect themselves from getting infected due to their low status in the community.<br />
    - It's easy for South Africans to travel from place to place so the disease is spread across different areas.<br />
    - Sexual violence is very high in South Africa - HIV infection might happen as a result of rape or sexual abuse.<br />
    - Some South African women believe men should be knowledgeable in sexual matters so they don't find out about AIDS and HIV. Others might feel pressurised to have children with a partner without knowing their HIV status.<br />

    Under the Summer scenario, the HIV and AIDS epidemic drops dramatically and all South Africans enjoy life under the African sun. It is the only scenario that succeeds in bringing adult HIV prevalence rates down from 20% to 7% through economic growth, working together and a strong focus on prevention. It predicts that South Africans will respond successfully to the epidemic through:<br />
    <br />
    * Individual behaviour change<br />
    - Everyone focuses on prevention of HIV infection.<br />
    - Everyone takes personal responsibility for their sexual behaviour and health.<br />
    - People change their sexual behaviour.<br />
    - South Africans test regularly for HIV so that most people are aware of their HIV status by 2010.<br />
    - All South Africans use condoms consistently and correctly.<br />
    - South Africans remain faithful to one sexual partner<br />
    <br />
    * Collaboration: Strong leaders in government, the community and business standing together.<br />
    <br />
    * Partnerships: The private sector (business) and the public sector (NGOs and government) form partnerships to tackle specific problems.<br />
