ABOUT HIV & AIDS:Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations
https://www.afao.org.au/about-hiv/
“HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus and attacks the body’s natural defence against disease – known as our ‘immune system’. Today, thanks to HIV medication (known as treatments) living with HIV is vastly different to what it meant to a person’s ongoing health and life expectancy many years ago.
In Australia, it is estimated that there were 25, 313 people living with HIV in 2015, and globally there are around 37 million. Today, a HIV positive person who is on effective treatment can live as long and as healthy a life as a person who does not have HIV.
A person infected with HIV is described as ‘HIV positive’, meaning that they receive a ‘positive’ result from a blood test for HIV infection. This does not mean they have AIDS.
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) occurs as the result of a person’s immune system being severely damaged by the HIV virus. Unless a person commences treatment, they will be vulnerable to infections and illnesses that their body would normally fight off.
It is important for people who think that they might be at risk of getting HIV, to test regularly, so that they can start treatment and look after their health”.
