A brief synopsis of HIV and the growing numbers of infections around the world.

Much of what we hear about HIV comes from friends, family, and the media. Here we separate fact from fiction.

Learn the risk factors of the most popular sexual activities. They may surprise you.

Find out how you can protect yourself and others from HIV.

There are people and organizations out there who can help you in the prevention of HIV infection. Many are just a click or phone call away.

What they are and how they can help.

Be prepared. When you go to your doctor appointment, write down your medical history (diseases you may have had in the past, surgeries, allergies), a list of your medications, and any questions or symptoms you may be experiencing. Take notes or bring a friend (you might be nervous or forget).

HIV does not only affect gay men and drug users. Anyone who practices at-risk behaviour such as unsafe sex can be infected with HIV. This includes men, women, seniors, and teens.
