The HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) Test is a blood test used to determine whether a person is infected with HIV. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, specifically the CD4 cells, making the body more susceptible to infections and diseases.

HIV is primarily transmitted through:

• Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person.
• Sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia with an infected person.
• From mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.

It is important to note that HIV is not spread through casual contact such as hugging, shaking hands, or sharing food. Early detection through testing is key to managing HIV and preventing its progression to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
