HIV and Aids Training Summary:

The Human immunodeficiency virus causes AIDS, acquired immunodeficiency disorder, in which the immune system becomes unable to fight off disease. Some symptoms include: fever, fatigue, weight loss, strange rashes, headaches, and swollen lymph nodes. HIV is primarily spread by sexual contract and dirty needles, and less than 1% of medical professionals become infected through working exposure. It is not spread by casual contact such as a handshake, sharing food, or toilet seats. There is no vaccination or cure for HIV.
