Self-Care at Home
Dizziness may be a symptom of something dangerous and should always be discussed with a doctor.
At home, try to do the following:
Get plenty to drink, have regular meals, and get plenty of rest.
Standing up more slowly may help dizziness associated with position change.
Reassurance can help an anxious person who feels dizzy.
Make your home safe for a chronically dizzy person.
Banisters, a walker or cane, and tub mats provide orientation.
Secure rugs and carpeting to avoid falls.
A doctor can recommend resources for a professional home-safety consultant visit.
Medical Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause of your dizziness.
Doctors may start emergency treatment, perhaps for heart attack or stroke, an emergency blood transfusion, or surgery.
Often, intravenous fluids clear up dehydration.
You may receive medications to control fever or treat infection.
You may be given oxygen right away.
A blood test may show you have low blood sugar as a cause of dizziness.
Other treatments for a specific disease may be started.
Sometimes, the only treatment may be a discussion of a likely cause and home safety.
When to Seek Medical Care
Dangerous, life-threatening illness may start only with dizziness. Call a doctor if any of the following occur:
Any first time or new instances of dizziness
Dizziness without a clear or certain cause
Any change in an established dizzy pattern
Worsening or new symptoms
Dizziness after taking newly prescribed medications, or recent changes in previous prescriptions
Call an ambulance unless you are certain of the cause of the dizziness, or unless the feeling goes away quickly.
Dizziness may be the only symptom of a heart attack or stroke.
If you have a possibility of heart disease, or known heart disease, an ambulance may save your life.
All dizziness with loss of consciousness needs emergency evaluation.
Outlook
Most causes of dizziness are harmless, and the problem goes away on its own. Sometimes dizziness will be the only symptom of serious disease, the course of which may be life threatening or easily treatable.
Some dizziness may be attributed to aging blood vessels or nerves. You may have to learn to live with it.
Timely and careful evaluation of dizziness offers the best outcome, whatever the cause.

There are a few things you can do to help with your vertigo.... The first thing you need to know is that Vertigo is a Symptom not a disease and that there is an underlying issue that need s to be resolved and that will alleviate your vertigo.
With that being said there are several things you can do to help such as medications like antivert which is a prescription, but Dramamine will also work and that is over the counter for motion sickness.
Drink plenty of water and maintain head positions that will not make your vertigo worse.
vertigo is caused by an in-balance of the crystals in your inner ear here is a link to a simple exercise that you can try at home : https://webmd.im/Cure-Vertigo

I don't have HIV or AIDS myself, but I was a support worker for people who had both diseases and so can perhaps help. HIV and AIDS are two separate things. HIV stands for 'Human Immunodeficiency Virus'., and it infects the cells of living organisms and replicates (make new copies of themselves) within those cells. HIV has a number of tricks that help it to evade the body's defences, including very rapid mutation. This means that once HIV has taken hold, the immune system can never fully get rid of it. There isn't any way to tell just by looking if someone's been infected by HIV. In fact a person infected with HIV may look and feel perfectly well for many years and may not know that they are infected. But as the person's immune system weakens they become increasingly vulnerable to illnesses, many of which they would previously have fought off easily. The only reliable way to tell whether someone has HIV is for them to take a blood test, which can detect infection from a few weeks after the virus first entered the body. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is an extremely serious condition, and at this stage the body has very little defence against any sort of infection. As time goes by, a person who has been infected with HIV is likely to become ill more and more often until, usually several years after infection, they become ill with one of a number of particularly severe illnesses. It is at this point that they are said to have AIDS - when they first become seriously ill, or when the number of immune system cells left in their body drops below a particular point. Different countries have slightly different ways of defining the point at which a person is said to have AIDS rather than HIV. Without drug treatment, HIV infection usually progresses to AIDS in an average of ten years. This average, though, is based on a person having a reasonable diet. Someone who is malnourished may well progress to AIDS and death more rapidly. To answer your question - common symptoms of AIDS are as follows: Lack of energy, weight loss, frequent fevers and sweats; a thick, whitish coating of the tongue or mouth (thrush); severe or recurring vaginal yeast infections; frequent infections like herpes zoster; periods of extreme and unexplained fatigue that may be combined with headaches, lightheadedness, and/or dizziness; bruising more easily than normal; long-lasting bouts of diarrhoea; periods of continued, deep, dry coughing; increasing shortness of breath; recurring or unusual skin rashes; severe numbness or pain in the hands or feet, the loss of muscle control and reflex, paralysis or loss of muscular strength; an altered state of consciousness, personality change, or mental deterioration.
