There is currently no cure for HIV or
AIDS. Treatments can slow the course of the condition - some infected
people can live a long and relatively healthy life.
KNOWLEDGE: These
are facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through
experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a
subject.
ATTITUDE: A settled way of thinking or feeling about
someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person's
behavior.
BELIEF: This is an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.
