Can anyone tell me something about Juvenal AIDS? ?


I about to write a novel where a half black- half Latino 11 year old dies from Juvenal AIDS. Can that happen? The character's name is Kiya and she dies from Pneumonia. I know that AIDS don't kill you, its the really sicking disease cues like the flu and Pneumonia
Can someone give the most info they can. Thanks.

You don't actually "get" AIDS. You might get infected with HIV, and later you might develop AIDS. You can get infected with HIV from anyone who's infected, even if they don't look sick and even if they haven't tested HIV-positive yet. The blood, vaginal fluid, semen, and breast milk of people infected with HIV has enough of the virus in it to infect other people. Most people get the HIV virus by:

* having sex with an infected person
* sharing a needle (shooting drugs) with someone who's infected
* being born when their mother is infected, or drinking the breast milk of an infected woman

So yes.. It's more than possible for an 11 year old to have AIDS.

HIV disease becomes AIDS when your immune system is seriously damaged. If you have less than 200 CD4 cells or if your CD4 percentage is less than 14%, you have AIDS. Because the immune system is so damaged, it cannot fight of infections, which is why the pneumonia, the flu, and even the common cold can kill you.

Well good luck on your story.
