    HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system and allows life-threatening infections to thrive. It is transmitted through unprotected sex and contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, night sweats, and swollen lymph nodes. While HIV cannot be cured, its transmission can be prevented through safe sex practices and reducing risk behaviors like substance abuse and multiple partners. Anyone engaging in risky behaviors is susceptible, so getting tested helps monitor status.
