HIV
What is HIV?
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The virus is spread through sex and blood. HIV leads to a weakened immune system. A healthy immune system is important to prevent infection from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. HIV can be prevented through measures like using a condom or medication such as PrEP.
MPox
MPox is a virus spread by skin to skin contact with an infected person. The virus can cause flu-like symptoms, fever, and a rash. MPox can be prevented by preventing contact with people who are infected and vaccination. People with MPox generally have symptoms for two to four weeks but can infect others during this time. Most people with MPox do not require medicine except for in severe cases.
