“The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that infects cells of the immune system, destroying or impairing their function. As the infection progresses, the immune system becomes weaker, and the person becomes more susceptible to infections. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

This shows that abstinence may be hard but if you know you can’t raise a child don’t do it.

and very sensitive to some people. But common condoms are a must to talk about with your kids, not only does it keep them from becoming a parent but it also keeps them safe from std’s something that could kill them.

Introduction Human immunodeficiency virus or HIV is a virus that is exclusively transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids such as unprotected sex, using dirty needles, along with childbirth from an infected mother. HIV causes great harm to the body by attacking the body’s immune system by destroying a type of white blood cell known as the T-helper cell. This damages the immune system and reduces the body’s ability to fight off other infections. If left untreated HIV can develop…

The classroom was noisy, students were passing notes, and talking loudly until I emptied my brown lunch bag of multi colored condoms on the teacher 's desk. Starting in my sophomore year in high school I worked with the Red Cross in a peer HIV/AIDS education program that lasted for three years. I visited classrooms and businesses to talk about HIV prevention and dispel many of the myths associated with the disease. I taught hundreds of my peers and presented at many local businesses. I…
