🚨 HIV Myths—BUSTED! 🚨
Misinformation fuels stigma, and it’s time to set the record straight. Let’s break down these common HIV misconceptions:
❌ Myth 1: You can get HIV from casual contact like hugging or sharing food.
✅ Truth: HIV cannot be transmitted through touch, saliva, or sharing utensils. It spreads through specific bodily fluids, not everyday interactions.
❌ Myth 2: Only certain groups of people are at risk of HIV.
✅ Truth: HIV does not discriminate—anyone can contract it, regardless of gender, sexuality, or background. Education and prevention matter for everyone.
❌ Myth 3: HIV always leads to AIDS.
✅ Truth: With proper treatment, people living with HIV can lead long, healthy lives and never develop AIDS. Early diagnosis and medication make a huge difference!
💡 Knowledge is power. The more we educate ourselves, the closer we get to ending stigma. Help spread the truth—share this post! 💬
