Bacteria vs Viruses
Tanto las bacterias como los virus son pequeños gérmenes que pueden enfermarte, ¡pero son muy diferentes! Piensa en las bacterias como pequeñas criaturas vivientes independientes, y en los virus como "gorrones" que necesitan robar energía de otras células para vivir.
Bacteria and viruses are both tiny germs that can make you sick, but they are very different! Think of bacteria as tiny, independent living creatures, and viruses as "moochers" that need to steal energy from other cells to live.
Bacterial STIs
Avoid vaginal, anal, and oral sex Use appropriate barrier methods such as external or internal condoms, or dental dams Evitar el sexo vaginal, anal y oral Usar métodos de barrera adecuados como los preservativos internos o externos, o las barreras bucales
Cured with antibiotics Se curan con antibióticos
Chlamydia Gonorrhea Syphilis
Transmitted by: Vagina, oral, or anal sex with someone who has a bacterial STI Sexo vaginal, anal u oral con alguien que tiene una STI bacteriana

AIDS Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida
HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus Virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana
Síndrome: un conjunto de distintos signos y síntomas Inmunodeficiencia: el sistema inmunitario no funciona tan bien como debería Adquirida: algo que se desarrolla
Acquired - something that develops Immunodeficiency - Immune system does not work as well as it could Syndrome - A collection of different signs and symptoms
Virus: un tipo de infección que no tiene cura Inmunodeficiencia: el sistema inmunitario no funciona tan bien como debería Humana: una enfermedad que las personas contraen de otras personas
Human - an illness people get from other people Immunodeficiency - Immune system does not work as well as it could Virus - a type of infection that has no cure
When HIV becomes advanced and the immune system is so damaged that it can no longer fight off other illness it is called AIDS. When people have AIDS, their body has a hard time fighting off illness like pneumonia that a strong immune system typically can overcome. If HIV is treated, many people with HIV never develop AIDS.
El sida se produce cuando el HIV está en un estado avanzado y el sistema inmunitario está tan dañado que ya no puede combatir otras enfermedades. Cuando una persona tiene sida, su organismo tiene dificultades para combatir enfermedades como la neumonía, que un sistema inmunitario fuerte normalmente puede superar. Si el HIV se trata, muchas personas con HIV nunca desarrollan el sida.
HIV/ AIDS
- HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, T cells.
- With a weakened immune system, people are more likely to get sick
- If untreated, HIV can becomes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)
- HIV can infect anyone and can never be cured (someone with HIV will have HIV for the rest of their life)
HIV is spread by:
- Exchanging bodily fluids - blood, semen, vaginal fluid, anal fluids, breast milk
- If a pregnant person has HIV and is untreated, they could pass it to their child during pregnancy or birth
HIV is NOT spread by:
- Casual contact like holding hands, hugging, or sharing a drink or a bathroom with someone with HIV
- Mosquito bites
- Sweat, saliva, mucus (snot), tears, or urine
