This awesome plush will help you remember the facts...
- H.I.V. kills CD4 cells, or T-helper cells.
- Once the immune system is compromised, a person develops AIDS (acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome)
- H.I.V. is most commonly transmitted by sexual contact with an infected person.
- Insect bites and sweat carry almost no risk of transmission.
- Studies show that drying H.I.V. infected fluids can reduce viral presence by 90-99%
- There is no vaccine for H.I.V. and no cure for AIDS.
