Other symptoms and effects include painful urination, abnormal vaginal discharge, testicular pain, bleeding between periods and painful sexual intercourse.

Around 37.7 million people had HIVs by the end of 2020

Ease of Transmission
It is fairly easily transferred to others, it can be found in semen, vaginal fluids (including menstrual blood), blood, etc. Around 1 in 50 people get HIVs from sex.

Health Impacts
If HIV advances to AIDS, it will become much more prone to opportunistic infections, which are infections that occur in people with weakened immune systems. This can allow for you to contract more diseases such as herpes.

Treatment
There is no cure for HIVs, however there is antibiotics to control it, generally it takes around 6 months for somebody to gain control of the HIVs. The antibiotics do not prevent other diseases/STIs to transfer. There is a vaccine to prevent it.]]> 2022-05-24 02:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Mr_Mac/9HPE/wish/2196844896 Pubic lice https://padlet.com/Mr_Mac/9HPE/wish/2196855915 1. Prevalence
