INTRODUCTION

HIV is the virus that causes HIV infection while AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection. The virus is spread through contact with the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, or breast milk of a person infected with HIV. The virus also spread mainly by having anal or vaginal sex or sharing drug injection equipment with a person infected with HIV.

HIV/AIDS remains one of the world's most significant public health challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Nevertheless, infected and affected people are still fighting discrimination and stigmatization. This raises the need for HIV/AIDS education.
