You can get HIV from unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from a parent at birth.

 

You can’t get it from hugging, sharing food, kissing, or using the same toilet.

 

There’s no cure yet, but with medicine, people with HIV can live long and healthy lives.

 

Think of HIV like a virus that makes it harder for your body to fight off other infections. But with the right help, people with HIV can still live totally normal lives.
