What is HIV/AIDS?
Human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, is a virus that can be transmitted person-to-person through sexual contact and blood via the sharing of injection materials and needles. When the disease is left untreated and progresses to a certain stage, a person is then considered to have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS. The epidemic that started in the 1980s was detrimental to the LGBTQ+ community, but today, there are a number of medical innovations for treatment and prevention of HIV. It’s important to know your status and risk and to talk to your healthcare provider about prevention and treatment strategies.
