HIV Infection
Because of its chronic nature, it helps to know when to seek care: HIV infection (human immunodeficiency virus) affects the immune system, progressively weakening the body's defenses if it is not treated.
Ways it is transmitted: It is transmitted mainly through unprotected sex, through contact with infected blood, and from mother to baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
Common symptoms: In the early stages it may go unnoticed or cause symptoms similar to the flu; over time, greater susceptibility to infections may appear.
Which specialist treats it? An infectious disease specialist and an internist handle the follow-up, and a general practitioner can guide the first tests. Getting tested whenever there is any doubt and discussing it with one of these professionals is the best way to take care of your health.
