  13. Quick facts about HIV • HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system • In the UK the main ways HIV is passed on are: • Unprotected sex (95% of cases) • Sharing needles for injecting drugs • You cannot get HIV from day-to-day contact such as spitting, sharing cups, toilets, holding hands or kissing

  14. Living with HIV • In the UK, treatment is available to keep people with HIV healthy • People on treatment can live long, healthy lives • But treatment can be difficult to take and have serious side-effects • You can’t tell someone has HIV just by looking at them

  15. Speaking out • If you have HIV, it can be hard telling other people • Some people are scared of people with HIV • They think they might get HIV from them • So they don’t want to be friends, or work with them, or live next door to them • But we know you can’t get HIV from day-to-day contact

  16. Discrimination • Discrimination means being treated badly because of something about you • It could be because of race, religion or having HIV • People with HIV can face discrimination in different places, such as • Schools • Work • GPs or dentists • Or even from friends and family

  17. Sara’s story • Sara was about to start primary school • Her mum told the school that Sara was HIV-positive • The teachers were very worried about teaching a child with HIV and said they didn’t want her in their class • Would it matter to you if someone in your class had HIV?

  18. Protection • The law makes it illegal to discriminate against people living with HIV • This protects people from discrimination in: • Work • Schools • Colleges • Services • Which means Sara should be able to go to school just like anyone else

  19. Make a difference • Prejudice and discrimination come out of ignorance • Tell other people about HIV so they know the facts • Make this school a positive place that supports everyone • Put a ribbon on it.
