VISIT THE FRIENDS OF AIDS FOUNDATION CYBER MEMORIAL DEDICATED TO ALL WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC.

People who are infected with HIV ( Human Immunodeficiency Virus) live with a compromised
immune system and generally have to take extra precautions to protect their health.

Your immune system is responsible for fighting off all diseases and infections. The HIV virus
directly attacks, weakens, and disables the immune system. This disabling of the immune
system renders the body more vulnerable to infections. People with HIV/AIDS are at greater risk
for contracting opportunistic infections. An opportunistic infection is a low grade infection by a
microorganism, which in healthy individuals usually causes only minor complications. However
in a person infected with HIV, the infection can become pathogenic when the immune system is
impaired and unable to fight off infections.

If you are HIV positive there are precautions that you should be taking to safeguard your health,
especially when you are traveling. According to reports published by the Center for Disease
Control, HIV positive individuals coming into contact with germs and bacteria while traveling are
at greater risk of becoming very sick. The three most common routes of transmission for germs
and bacteria (1) contact (2) droplet (3) airborne. Some germs can live for hours on surfaces that
you come into contact with.

A highly recommended precaution to safeguard your health while traveling is to create a barrier
between yourself and germs and bacteria. We invite you to visit the Aero-San Corporation. They
