Infection Prevention and Control (CPD Accredited)

HIV-AIDS and STIs are primarily transmitted through sexual contact, blood, or childbirth, but can be prevented with safe practices. HIV weakens the immune system, progressing to AIDS if untreated, while STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HPV cause various symptoms or may be asymptomatic. Prevention includes safe sex, regular testing, vaccination, and medical treatment. Early detection and education are crucial for reducing transmission and ensuring better health outcomes.
