HIV AND AIDS: THE BASICS
HIV, also known as human immunodeficiency virus, attacks and weakens the body's immune system. Once a person has HIV they have it for life. There is no cure, but there are treatments to help control the virus. If not treated, HIV can reach its deadly phase, AIDS, the acquired immune deficiency syndrome. People with AIDS have such damaged immune systems that they cannot easily fight off illnesses [H4].

THE IMPORTANCE OF
HIV AND AIDS RESEARCH
Nearly 37 million people around the world are living with HIV and the devastating consequences it can have. With the research that has been conducted over decades, the lives of those with HIV have been made just a little bit easier. Researchers have developed ways to test people for HIV. Research has made way to antiretroviral treatments (ART) that help people live healthier lives, while also lessening the risk of transmission. [H6]
