Fact: AIDS is not caused through sex only<\/b><\/p>\n<p>HIV can be transmitted through unsafe and unhygienic usage of needles. This can occur in hospitals, tattoo parlors and in people taking intravenous drugs. Also, breast milk from an HIV infected mother can cause HIV in the new born.<\/p>\n<p><b>2 . Fact:\u00a0<\/b><strong>HIV and AIDS are two different things<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An HIV-infected person is said to have an AIDS diagnosis when HIV has weakened their immune system to the extent that they either have, or are at unusually high risk of getting, certain diseases that are uncommon in persons with a healthy immune system. It is important to know that not all HIV-infect people develop AIDS. \u00a0Effective HIV treatment can often slow or stop the progression of HIV disease and keep a person from developing AIDS.<\/p>\n<p><b>3 . Fact: Living around HIV positive people is not dangerous<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You can only get HIV if you are exposed to blood, semen, vaginal fluid, or mother\u2019s milk from an HIV-infected person. There is no record of HIV transmission through tears or saliva. \u00a0So if you are around people infected with HIV, there is no danger of becoming infected with the virus by breathing the same air as them, eating food handled, prepared, or served by them, sharing toilets, phones, or clothing with them, sharing utensils with them or touching, hugging or kissing them.<\/p>\n<p><b>4 . Fact: You cannot get HIV from mosquito bites<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Although HIV can be spread through blood, there is no evidence that mosquito bites can transmit HIV, even in areas where there are many HIV-infected persons and lots of mosquitoes. In fact, when mosquitoes bite, they don\u2019t inject the blood of the person or animal they have last bitten.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 . Fact: You cannot get HIV from swimming pools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HIV can\u2019t survive in water, so you won\u2019t get HIV from swimming pools, baths, shower areas or from drinking water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6 . Fact: HIV is not spread by coughing and sneezing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HIV cannot survive in the air so coughing, sneezing or spitting cannot transmit HIV.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rsz_shutterstock_229773271.jpg\" alt=\"online medicine\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\" title=\"World AIDS Day: 6 Facts About AIDS That You Should Know\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[57,149,169,207],"class_list":["post-20523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health-a-z","tag-anti-infectives","tag-mens-health","tag-otc","tag-womens-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>World AIDS Day: 6 Facts About AIDS That You Should Know - Tata 1mg Capsules<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"HIV can be transmitted through unsafe and unhygienic usage of needles.
