HIV is a disease that is well known to Africa. It is a serious problem in many parts of the continent, and it has caused a great deal of death and suffering. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, and it can damage the body’s ability to fight off infection and disease. HIV can also cause AIDS, which is a fatal disease.

Advanced stages of the infection can cause neurological problems.

There are a number of HIV symptoms that can indicate that someone is infected with the virus. These symptoms can vary from person to person, and can also depend on the stage of infection. Some of the most common symptoms include fever, fatigue, night sweats, and a rash. Additionally, people with HIV may experience weight loss, diarrhea, and mouth sores. In advanced stages of the infection, it can cause neurological problems, including seizures and dementia.

There are different ways that people can contract HIV. It can be contracted through unprotected sexual activity, through contact with infected blood or body fluids, or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
