"DO YOU KNOW That..."

" WHAT IS HIV?"

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. Without treatment, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). There is currently no effective cure. Once people get HIV, they have it for life

Progression of HIV without Treatment:

Acute Infection:

Occurs within 2-4 weeks after infection, with symptoms like fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes.

Chronic Infection:

HIV remains in the body but may not cause significant symptoms for years.

AIDS:

Develops when the immune system is severely weakened. This typically occurs when CD4 (helper T) cell count drops below 200 cells/mL.

AFSP offers a variety of programs designed to meet the diverse needs of our community. From counseling services to food assistance, our programs aim to create lasting positive change.
