Many infectious diseases, such as AIDS. AIDS is a new and dangerous disease spread from person to person by a virus. It is now found in most countries around the world, and in many is becoming more and more common.

AIDS reduces the body's ability to fight disease. A person with AIDS can get sick very easily from many different illnesses such as diarrhea, pneumonia, tuberculosis, or serious type of skin cancer. Most persons with AIDS die from diseases their bodies cannot fight.
These diseases can be passed from a dick person to a healthy person through the use of syringes, needles, and other instruments that are not sterile ( thus included the instruments used for piercing ears, acupuncture, tattoos, or circumcision). Many skin infections and abscesses also start because of this. Any time the skin is cut or pierced, it should only be done with equipment that has been sterilized.

Here are some ways to sterilize equipment:

- Boil for 20 minutes. ( if you do not have a clock, add 1 or 2 grains of rice to the water. When the rice is cooked, the equipment will be sterile.)

-Or steam for 15 minutes in a special pot called a pressure cooker ( or autoclave)

When you are helping someone who has an infectious disease, wash hands often with soap and water.
