hivier

Hivier is a term that appears to be a misspelling or a very uncommon variation of "HIV," which stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV is a virus that attacks the body's immune system, specifically CD4 cells, which are a type of white blood cell crucial for fighting off infections. If left untreated, HIV can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a chronic and potentially life-threatening condition.

The virus is transmitted through specific bodily fluids, including blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk, from an HIV-positive person. Common modes of transmission include unprotected sexual contact, sharing of needles or syringes, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.

There is currently no cure for HIV, but effective treatments are available. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) involves taking a combination of HIV medicines daily. ART can suppress the virus, allowing people with HIV to live long, healthy lives and also reduces the risk of transmission to others. Prevention methods include safe sex practices, such as using condoms, and sterile needle use. Regular testing is also important for early diagnosis and treatment.
