Define Hiv Meaning

HIV is a virus that attacks and destroys the bodies immune system resulting in AIDS. With care and treatment, the progression of HIV to AIDS can slow down. HIV can be transmitted through semen including precum, blood, breast milk, and vaginal fliuds. People now can live longer with HIV, it is no longer a death sentence. To prevent the spread of HIV, get tested, and use latex condoms, avoid sharing needles if you are an injection drug user.

Pronounced, "high five" (from hi - v (5)) - a surreptitious way to describe a person with HIV. Also, "HI-fiver"

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is a terrible infection that often leads to AIDS. HIV attacks the human immune system and can damage it so badly that it is unable to work effectively. If left unchecked, HIV can seriously and permanently harm a person’s immune system. HIV can sometimes even lead to death.

HIV is quite common in gay or bisexual men. About 1 in 5 gay or bisexual men have HIV. Gay or bisexual men account for a large majority of HIV diagnoses as a whole, and over 80% of HIV diagnoses among males.

In short, if you’re a gay man then you’re much more likely to get HIV.

This is because gay or bisexual men often have anal sex with other men. Anal sex can cause anal fissures, which are basically cuts or tears to your anus which can get infected from ejaculation or other reasons.

There is no cure for HIV and the human body cannot get rid of it by itself. If you get infected with HIV then you will have HIV for the rest of your life. If HIV is not treated properly then it can develop into AIDS (which is also terrible).

HIV is ultimately quite uncommon among the U.S. population as a whole. Less than 1% of Americans have HIV. This is mainly because gay or bisexual men represent a small minority of the whole population.

a comical way to describe H.I.V.

To be 'hivved' is to be sick, or to have HIV. Depending on the person and context, it can refer to the AIDS virus or just to illness in general.

Variations include 'hivved out'

Hippos in Vests..

Stands for "Human immunodeficiency virus". contrary to some idiot's beliefs, it was not given to us by the homosexual community. It is believed to originated in Africa from a mutated form of a virus in a diseased monkey. We dont actually know how it came about. It is widely accepted that HIV causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) but becuase we cannot do experiments to prove this (due to morality issues) the African government can claim that there is no evidence supporting this hypothesis and does not have to supply medicine for its citizens.

As in H.I.V.; one step closer to AIDS.
