• H.I.V. kills CD4 cells, or T-helper cells
• Once the immune system is compromised, a person develops AIDS (acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome)
• H.I.V. is most commonly transmitted by sexual contact with an infected person
• Insect bites and sweat carry almost no risk of transmission
• Studies show that drying H.I.V. infected fluids can reduce viral presence by 90-99%
• There is no vaccine for H.I.V. and no cure for AIDS
