 · HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, our body’s natural defence against illness.

· If HIV is left untreated, a person’s immune system will get weaker and weaker until it can no longer fight off life-threatening infections and diseases.

· Testing regularly for HIV means you can get antiretroviral treatment if you need it and stay healthy.

· AIDS describes a set of symptoms and illnesses that happen at the final stage of HIV infection, if left untreated.
