Description
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.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Counseling is a process, as well as a relationship, between persons. Contrary to what some people
believe, counseling is not concentrated advice-giving.
The aim of the counselor is usually to assist the person or persons (client or clients) in realizing a
change in behavior or attitude, or to seek achievement of goals.
Often there are varieties of problems for which the counselee may seek to find help.
Some forms of counseling include the teaching of social skills, effective communication, spiritual
guidance, decision-making, and career choices.
Counseling may sometimes be needed to aid one in coping with a crisis. Other types of counseling
include premarital and marital counseling; grief and loss (divorce, death or amputation); domestic
violence and other types of abuse; special counseling situations like terminal illness (death and
dying); as well as counseling of emotionally and mentally disturbed individuals. Counseling could
be short-term (brief counseling) or long-term.
Psychology is the study of the human mind and behavior.
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior, according to the American
Psychological Association. Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and includes many sub-fields
of study such areas as human development, sports, health, clinical, social behavior and cognitive
processes
