Transmission, Treatment, and Prevention of Ebola:

1. Transmission: Ebola can be transmitted through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with or has died from Ebola. It can also be spread by contact with objects contaminated with the virus, like needles, or infected animals.

2. Treatment: There is no specific treatment for Ebola. Supportive care includes rehydration and symptomatic treatment. In 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first Ebola treatment, known as Inmazeb, for use in adults and children.

3. Prevention: Prevention methods include avoiding areas of known outbreaks, not handling remains of victims, and using protective clothing and sterilized equipment when caring for those infected. Vaccines are also available.

Transmission, Treatment, and Prevention of HIV/AIDS:

1. Transmission: HIV can be transmitted through certain body fluids—blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk—from a person who has HIV. The most common ways are through sexual behaviors and needle or syringe use.

2. Treatment: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used to treat HIV. ART is not a cure, but it can control the virus so that people with HIV can live longer, healthier lives and reduce the risk of HIV transmission.

3. Prevention: Prevention methods include using condoms correctly every time you have sex, limiting your number of sexual partners, getting tested and treated for STDs, and not sharing needles or syringes. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medication that people at high risk for HIV take to prevent getting HIV. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a medication taken after being potentially exposed to HIV to prevent becoming infected.
