My topic is about HIV, how you get infected to treatments and the background information of HIV. The activity I am doing is about, "How HIV attacks cells." The importance about this topic is how to protect yourself and learn some new information about what HIV is. It relates to maintaining health and wellness by helping you not getting infected with HIV and learns more about it.
The activity that I am doing, it explains about how HIV attacks the cells. In it I am going to draw a picture of the cell and also show how it attacks it, and the steps how it attacks it. The drawing is going to show one HIV cell entering the cell and when it goes into the nucleus and when it comes out to the surface of the cell, it’s coming out with more HIV cells, because it copies itself inside the cell.
My background information about HIV shows and explains what HIV is, and the symptoms of it when someone has HIV, and where and how the person can go check him or herself. It also shows how it can be transmitted to another person, and some treatments for it, but right now there’s no cure to stop HIV infecting and killing more people. Also, because I want to learn more about HIV.
I plan to improve my health over the summer by exercising more often, like for example start going to the gym, or go to the park to play baseball, soccer, basketball and also go for a jog. I plan to get on a baseball or soccer team during the summer. Keep drinking more water, like one gallon a day, and avoid drinking coke. Not eating junk food anymore or maybe once every two week. Also keep avoiding drugs because they might run my future and life.
