📣 📣 📣 Today is World AIDS Day! To honor our relatives with HIV/AIDS, learn more and take action.
HIV is a virus that reduces our body’s ability to protect us from illnesses. So, if HIV is not treated, it can weaken our body so much that we get seriously ill.
Since many people with HIV don’t know it, it’s important that YOU (and everyone else) get tested – even if you feel healthy and totally normal. Read 👏 that 👏 again 👏
If you (or someone you ❤️) tests positive, there are amazing medicines that help people live long, healthy lives. The medicines also prevent passing HIV to others. But to benefit from these, individuals must first know if they are HIV positive… And the only way to know for sure is by getting tested.
For peace of mind and to protect your community - make an appointment to get tested for HIV today!

And please share this post! ❤️❤️❤️
