Human immunodeficiency virus [hiv] counselling - what does this mean
Human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) counselling is a process of providing education and support to individuals who have been diagnosed with hiv or are at risk of contracting the virus. it involves discussing the risks of hiv infection, providing resources and information about hiv prevention, and helping individuals develop strategies for managing their hiv-related health issues. counselling also provides emotional support to individuals and helps them cope with the physical, emotional, and social impact of hiv.
What happens during the disease - human immunodeficiency virus [hiv] counselling
Hiv is a virus that attacks the body's immune system, compromising its ability to fight off infections and diseases. hiv is primarily transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. hiv can also be transmitted through sharing needles and syringes, or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. once hiv has entered the body, it begins to attack and destroy the cd4+ t cells, which are a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight off infections. this can cause the body to become more vulnerable to infections and diseases, eventually leading to aids. counselling is an important part of hiv treatment, as it can help people understand the disease, reduce their risk of transmitting it to others, and learn how to manage their condition.
