Introduction to STDs
 
We also have Hiv statistics for the USA,UK and worldwide.
 
 
 
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
HIV attacks the immune system's soldiers - the CD4 cells. When the immune system loses too many CD4 cells, you are less able to fight off infection and can develop serious opportunistic infections (OIs).
 
STI stands for Sexual Transmitted Infections
 
Poz News and  Hivsingleshas teamed up with a mission  to change the course of this HIV/AIDS  and STI pandemic through a unique and comprehensive focus . In order to reach this goal, we are always working to develop new resources to educate, nurture, and support the community of Hiv and STI, their caregivers, and their health care providers. We encourage you, our community of users, to share your experiences living with and caring for the community with HIV and STI diseases. With the information you and others provide, we will help inform research for new treatments, promote better standards of care, further public awareness and education about HIV and STI diseases , and most importantly, connect people in search of a trusted, supportive, and protected environment.
 
 The world wide threat of swine flu epidemic has many people living with HIV concerned about their health and safety. Poznews and Hivsingles check in with WHO and the CDC for the latest. In short: While there are reasons to be cautious, there’s no reason to panic. On April 30th, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published information on what is currently known about the symptoms of swine flu, along with recommendations concerning its treatment and prevention. 

Because there are limited data on swine flu, some of the guidance is based upon what is known about seasonal outbreaks of flu in people with HIV.MORE ON SWINE FLU
