People living with HIV/AIDS 

• Like other diseases, AIDS affects many people.
• It is a dangerous disease with no cure.
• It is mainly transmitted through sex so we must avoid getting involved in irresponsible behaviour.

• Infected mothers can pass the disease to their children during birth and through breast-feeding.
• One can also get HIV/AIDS by coming into contact with fresh blood from an infected person, if one has an open wound.

• However, one cannot get infected through shaking hands, feeding, sharing things with or hugging an infected person.
• Many people in Kenya have died from the disease. Some were perhaps our neighbours, friends, classmates or our relatives. 

• People living with HIV/AIDS can live longer if they take good care of themselves. 
• They can do so by eating a well-balanced diet and taking medicines known as anti-retrovi- rals (ARVs).
• In (Mark 1:34), we read that Jesus healed people suffering from different diseases.

2. Showing them love and support.
3. We can fellowship together.
