Sex education, also called sexuality education or sex and relationships education. It's the process of acquiring information and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships and intimacy. It is also about developing young people's skills so that they make informed choices about their behavior, and feel confident and competent about acting on these choices. It is widely accepted that young people have a right to sex education, partly because it is a means by which they are helped to protect themselves against abuse, exploitation, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.

Immune system is a system of biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against diseases by identifying and killing pathogens and tumor cells. The immune system is made up of organs that are involved in fighting invasion by foreign bodies.

HIV can’t grow or reproduce on its own. It requires cell of living organisms to infect & reproduce. HIV is specific to CD4+ cells in the human body i.e. cells with surface molecule called Cluster of Differentiation 4. Cells carrying this molecule are called CD4+ cells. Therefore HIV cant survive in the animal blood, because its only human blood that contains CD4+cells. HIV is a lentivirus. Like all viruses in this group it attacks the immune system. Lentiviruses are in turn part of a larger group of viruses called retroviruses. The term ”retrovirus” stems from the fact that these kinds of viruses are capable of copying RNA into DNA. The name lentivirus means slow virus. This is because they take such a longtime to produce any adverse effects in the body.

HIV infects cells of the immune system and the central nervous system. The main cell HIV infects is T helper cell which is a crucial part of the immune system, because it co-ordinates the actions of other cells of the immune system. A large reduction in the number of T helper cells seriously weakens the immune system.
