What the difference is between Bacterial infections and
Viral infections?
Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics. If
treated early enough, there will be no long-term effects.
Viral infections can not be treated with antibiotics. Once
they are in they body, they don’t go away. Any
medication taken is for the symptoms only. The virus will
still be there.
What does it mean to be asymptomatic?
It means there may not be any symptoms, but the
infection can still be spread from person to person.

Acquired
Immune
Deficiency
Syndrome
infections or
illnesses that
take advantage
of a weakened
immune system
5/14/2017
15
The Immune System:
Helper T cells: white blood cells that
activate the immune response when a
pathogen enters the body.
Healthy people carry about 500 – 1500
helper T cells in about 20 drops of blood
The HIV virus attaches itself to the helper
T cells forcing the T cells to make copies of
the HIV. This is called replication.
When a person’s white blood cell count
gets below 200 per milliliter of blood, they
are said to have AIDS.

Even though there is
no cure,
ARV drugs can slow
down the replication
process allowing people
with HIV to live longer,
healthier lives than those
who are infected with
HIV who are not taking ARV drugs.

It is VERY
important to
remember that
people infected
with HIV who are
on ARV drugs can
STILL TRANSMIT
HIV!
