HIV is a serious virus that initially causes flu-like symptoms but can develop into AIDS if left untreated. You can prevent HIV by using condoms during sexual contact and never sharing needles. The virus spreads through sexual contact and sharing contaminated needles, making safe practices absolutely essential.
Antiretroviral drugs can help manage HIV, but prevention remains the best strategy. These medications help people with HIV live healthier lives by controlling the virus in their body.
Tobacco mosaic virus affects plants, creating a distinctive mosaic pattern on leaves that reduces photosynthesis and slows plant growth. Farmers prevent this by using crop rotation, virus-free seeds, and controlling insects that spread the disease.
Key Insight Both human and plant viruses can be prevented through smart practices - safe behaviour for humans, and proper farming techniques for plants.
Malaria causes repeating episodes of fever, chills, headaches, and vomiting. Mosquitoes act as vectors, meaning they carry the disease from person to person. You can protect yourself with insect repellent, mosquito nets, and antimalarial drugs when travelling to affected areas.
Measles starts with cold-like symptoms but progresses to sore, red eyes, high temperature, and small greyish-white spots inside your cheeks. It spreads through respiratory droplets when infected people cough or sneeze.
Prevention is straightforward get vaccinated, wash your hands regularly, and cover your nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing. Vaccination is particularly important as it provides long-lasting protection.
Remember Mosquitoes don't just bite - they can carry serious diseases, so always use protection in areas where malaria is common.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
