HIV is a very dangerous, incurable disease that we all need to be careful about, it is very common between teen agers making us vulnerable and in constant danger. One of the reasons is because we are not mature enough to realize the dangers and is very common to think ¨It won´t happen to me¨, making it really easy for the virus to spread.Fortunately for us he have learned and studied about so we learned how to prevent it very well.

We learned how the virus affects the body and the immune system, we learned that there are many ways to get it and we are very aware of the real dangers of it. We learned how to avoid dangerous situations whic put us at risk and therefore, helping us live a healthir life.

Douring this semester we learned how to work in teams, making each person´s job easier. We found our way to work evenly, having some order and a team leader in case we are having a hard times with decicions. We learned how to hear each other for opinions and do something to improve. At the end I believe that we made a great team learing a lot from each other.

Throughout the semester, we worked with HIV, we learned how dangerous it is and how we can get it. We are now aware of the consequences of having it, as well as how it affects teenagers.
We learned the way the virus affects our body, specially in our immune system, and how it can cause a simple flu to kill us, since HIV destroys our defenses.
Having precaution is really necessary toa void HIV, even though we believe HIV won't happen to us, in a moment everything can change. We need to be careful if we have sexual relationships, since it is one of the ways we can have HIV.
Also during the semester, we worked in team and we came to know each team member better, making the job easier to do, if I could, I would chose the same team again.

During this semester, we had the chance to analyze and learn about the disease HIV. We learned that HIV is a virus, which you can get in many ways but the main cause is sexual contact with someone who is infected with this disease. We learned that disease mainly affects the immune system, which is the one responsible to fight infection, and with that being harm we are very weak to any type of disease and infection.
In this project we analyzed the disease in many ways like info graphic, video ad, radio commercials, etc. This way we got to have a deep understanding of the disease and personally it is a disease I wouldn't want to have, ever. This is something very important since it make me aware of the risk factors and consequences.
We also learned how to cooperate and collaborate in a team. This is something really important, since sometimes we find it very difficult to work with some people, but I had the pleasure to have a great team, and they are people which I would love to work ahead of time, even though we had our moments of hate, they are very hard workers.

During the 1st partial of this semester we had the opportunity to do an info graphic. In this info graphic we included the risk factors, symptoms, prevention, prognosis, statistics, and diagnosis. This help us understand and visualize the disease in a more creative way, with colors, images, and text.

Throughout the semester, we made podcasts, which included the statistics, the ways you can prevent HIV, the ways you can get infected. This help us understand the way HIV affects and how we can avoid it, in a creative and original way.

In this semester we were assigned with a certain disease called HIV. With this virus we did plenty of research as we searched for different things that are important to keep in mind. Such as the symptoms that come with the disease: fever, swollen glands, sore throat, muscle ache etc. But we learned that this disease may have versatile symptoms. Other things we learned about were prevention and the risk factors. In order to prevent HIV/Aids you need to make sure not to share drug injections, abstinence if not limit your sexual partners to one. On the other side the risk factors are to have unprotected sex, and the use of infected needles. After doing our research we created various technological ways to share prevention such as: an infographic, videos, ad's and more. One of the most important things we learned besides the fact why we should be careful about this type of diseases, is that we worked as a team. By working together we learned to organize and divide everything equally in order for us to work in a productive way. Lastly the project helped us to learn more about each other and as time went by we learned how to divide and organize everything. In conclusion this project helped us in various aspects that will help us thought our learning.
