Answer:

HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimize the long-term consequences.

Explanation:

HIV is an acronym for human immunodeficiency virus. It is the virus that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Unlike other viruses, the human body cannot get rid of HIV. This means that once you get HIV, you will live with the virus forever. A person becomes infected with this virus when engaging in unprotected sex with someone who is already infected with HIV (transmission can also be from mother to fetus, or transfusions of infected blood).

So far, there are no predictions for a cure. Treatment, however, can significantly prolong the lives of many people infected with HIV and lower the chances of disease transmission. It is important for people to get tested for HIV and to know early on that they are infected so that medical care and treatment will have a greater effect.

TiliK225 [7]

The term Pharmacologic should be used to describe a classification based on mechanism of action.

<h3>What is Pharmacologic?</h3>

As a branch of basic science which draws on information and abilities from physiology, biochemistry, cell & molecular biology, and other fields, pharmacology is frequently referred to as the "bridge science." To rationally construct treatments, pharmacologists are able to "translate" such knowledge.

Pharmacologists can provide a distinctive viewpoint when addressing issues relating to drugs, hormones, and chemicals as a result of their multidisciplinary training.

Pharmacologists have access to a wide range of research opportunities because the area is interdisciplinary, which is not true of other branches of knowledge. People are drawn to careers in pharmacology because of this flexibility and the opportunity for practical application of research.
