Solution

  1. The four body fluids that can transmit HIV are blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk.

  2. Two ways someone can reduce the risk or prevent contracting HIV are by practicing safe sex (using condoms) and not sharing needles or syringes.

  3. Over time, HIV can weaken the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off infections and diseases. It can also lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), the most advanced stage of HIV infection, which can be life-threatening.

  4. Four symptoms an HIV infected person can experience are fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and weight loss.

  5. You cannot tell if someone has HIV just by looking at them. The only way to know for sure is through an HIV test, which detects the presence of HIV antibodies in the blood.

  6. It is perfectly safe to befriend someone with HIV. HIV is not transmitted through casual contact such as hugging, shaking hands, sharing food, or using the same toilet. It is important to treat people living with HIV with kindness and respect, just as you would anyone else.
