But you have the right to know and you need to find out the truth about your health. Test yourself.

HIV - a human immunodeficiency virus is transmitted through blood, semen, breast milk and other body fluids, unprotected sexual intercourse, when more than one person use the same drug equipment. HIV is not transmitted by kissing, sneezing, touching, using cutlery or using the same toilet. Saliva and sweat are also not transmitters.

AIDS is a disease people can live with if discovered in time. And that means as soon as possible. Medicine and pharmacy in this field have advanced significantly and thanks to adequate therapy, the HIV virus can be kept under control. Statistics, unfortunately, is not getting better. There is an increasing number of patients. It is suspected that there are close to 1,000 people in Serbia who do not even know they are infected. If the prevention failed, do not miss the chance of treatment. Test yourself.
