What is HIV? •HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. If left untreated, it can cause AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). • There is currently no effective cure. Once you get HIV, you have it for life. • However, with proper medical care, it can be controlled. People with HIV infection who receive effective treatment can live long and healthy lives and protect their partners. Where did HIV come from? • HIV infection in humans came from a type of chimpanzee from Central Africa. • The chimpanzee version of the virus (called simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV) may have been transmitted to humans when chimpanzees were hunted for their meat and came into contact with infected blood. • Studies show that HIV may have passed from chimpanzees to humans as early as the late 1800s. • The virus spread slowly throughout Africa over several decades and then to other parts of the world. We know that the virus has been in the United States sin...

🐒What is monkeypox? Monkeypox is a disease caused by the monkeypox virus. It got its name when it was discovered in laboratory monkeys in 1958. This virus is similar to the one that causes smallpox, but it is less contagious and generally causes milder illness. Cases of monkeypox are most common in central and western Africa, in people who have recently traveled to those areas, and in people who have had contact with imported animals. But recent cases of monkeypox have occurred outside of Africa in people who have not traveled at all. What are the signs and symptoms of monkeypox? Monkeypox causes fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash. The rash begins as small, flat marks that turn into bumps and later fill with fluid. The bumps crust over and fall off as they heal. Some people develop spots that look like pimples or blisters before they have other symptoms. People usually feel better within 2 to 4 weeks. But sometimes the virus can make a person very sick. Is mo...
