People who engage in drug use or high-risk behaviors associated with drug use put themselves at risk for contracting or transmitting viral infections such as HIV/AIDS or hepatitis. This is because viruses spread through blood or body fluids. It happens primarily in two ways: (1) when people inject drugs and share needles or other drug equipment and (2) when drugs impair judgment and people have unprotected sex with an infected partner. This can happen with both men and women. Women who become infected with a virus can pass it to their baby during pregnancy, whether or not they use drugs. They can also pass HIV to the baby through breastmilk. Drug use can also affect the symptoms a person has from a viral infection.                                                  The viral infections of greatest concern related to drug use are HIV and hepatitis.

never [62]
Genital HSV-1 outbreaks reoccur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks. There is no cure for genital herpes.

Once you have herpes, you are at risk of it reoccurring, Research has shown that 80% of people who contract HSV-2 will have at least one occurrence. Generally HSV-2 tends to reoccur four to six times per year. In contrast, only 50% of people who contract HSV-1 will have at least one reoccurrence. The HSV-1 infection only tends to reoccur once a year.

What are the best hues to use for the bridesmaids bouquets.
gulaghasi [49]
There are no set recommended colors for bridesmaids' bouquets. It is important to choose a colour scheme and stick to it. The bridesmaid's dresses and bouquets need to match yours. Different hues and shades can be used to add texture and depth to the overall color scheme of the wedding. The bridesmaids' bouquets can be a darker or hue of the same basic color as the bride's bouquet. They can even be made up of different flowers, as long as the basic color scheme is adhered to.
