Unprotected sex and contaminated needles are the leading cause of transmission. It, fortunately, cannot spread through air, water, or casual contact. Individuals of any age, sexual orientation, gender and race can contract HIV.

ARV treatments enable most to lead long and healthy lives. With continued and increased investments, we can get transmission rates low enough to end HIV once and for all. A world without HIV is no longer it’s closer than ever.

There were several factors that made smallpox an ideal candidate for eradication. First, humans are essential to the smallpox lifecycle, so breaking the chain of human to human transmission causes the virus to die out.
