Extract

b. Treatments and Prevention
Drugs can prevent HIV from replicating, they can boost the immune system, and they can treat opportunistic diseases when they take hold, but all these drugs have serious side effects. AZT is a drug that can prevent the viral RNA from converting to DNA and thereby prevent the AIDS virus from becoming active.
c. What are risk behaviors that may transmit the virus
Having unprotected sex, sharing needles, and having sex with multiple people are all risky behaviors.
d. Myths society hold about HIV
That HIV was a homosexual disease, that humans got it by having sex with monkeys, that you can get it from sharing forks or touching an infected person, and that HIV always leads to AIDS are all common misconceptions about AIDS.
e. How does the immune system work, normally and with HIV
The immune system usually fights off diseases by producing antibodies that can combat them. With HIV, HIV tricks the immune system and makes it so weak that it is unable to fight any diseases, and people die from not being able to fight anything off.
