    1. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus and it weakens a person's immune system by destroying cells that fight infection and disease.

    2. The best way to prevent HIV is to use a condom during sex and to never share needles or other injecting equipment – including syringes, spoons and swabs. Knowing your HIV status and that of your partner is important.

    3. HIV cannot be transmitted through sweat, saliva or urine.

    4. Only 53% of people living with HIV are estimated to know their status, according to the World Health Organization.

    5. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) consists of the combination of antiretroviral drugs to suppress the HIV virus and stop the progression of HIV disease – advances in access to ART means HIV-positive people now live much longer and healthier lives. It has also been confirmed that ART prevents onward transmission of HIV.
