Fairs and festivals feature mobile food trailers that serve everything from cotton candy to kabobs. Before setting up to sell anything, the owners of these traveling food boxes are inspected by the local health department for compliance to food safety and sanitation legislation. This is a good thing because the last thing that anyone wants to pay for is a good case of a food-borne illness.
My husband admits that his favorite part of the County Fair is the food. As a food safety and sanitation instructor, my radar goes up and I silently go to work. I do this because I really do not want my husband to get sick; besides, if he does, guess who will have to clean any mess that occurs? Me, and I do not handle body fluids very well.

HIV, is the abbreviation for human immunodeficiency virus. HIV is the virus (infection) that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), a disease that can destroy one's life. Human immunodeficiency virus infection occurs when infected cells in blood, semen, or other body fluids are spread from one person to another.
HIV infection attacks and breaks down the body's immune system, which normally produces white blood cells and antibodies that fight against viruses and bacteria. The infection-fighting cells are called CD4+ T-cell lymphocytes. When the T-cell lymphocytes are destroyed, the body's immune system is no longer able to effectively protect the body against diseases. The infected person is more open or susceptible to illnesses that usually do not affect healthy persons.
