  4. & myths about HIV by Oscar Yea

  5. Myth #1 Only Gay people have AIDS. True or False?

  6. FALSE Everyone can get AIDS. This is a stereotype that is very hurtful to the Gay community. In Hollywood, many movie stars from the 1950’s and 1960’s like Rock Hudson and Anthony Perkins have had to hide their identity. Mention CDC’s statistics regarding heterosexual contact. Magic Johnson HIV can be contracted through heterosexual contact or injection drug use.

  7. Myth #2 Can you get HIV through everyday contact with people around you in school, in the workplace, or social settings? True or False?

  8. No. HIV is not transmitted through shaking hands and hugging. You cannot become infected from a toilet seat, a drinking foundation, a door knob, drinking glasses, or by food. FALSE HIV is not transmitted through everyday contact.

  9. Myth #3 Can you get AIDS from a mosquito bite? True or False?

  10. No. You cannot get AIDS from a mosquito bite. The AIDS virus is not transmitted through a mosquito’s salivary glands. Studies conducted by CDC researchers and others have shown no evidence of HIV transmission from insects. FALSE HIV is not transmitted through a mosquito’s salivary glands.

  11. Myth #4 Both my partner and I have HIV. We don't need to use a condom. True or False?

  12. FALSE • False. You still need to practice safer sex. There are different strains (types) of HIV. Even if you have HIV, you can be infected with a different type from what you already have. You could become infected with drug-resistant strains of HIV. This can make it very hard for treatment to work. Make sure to use a condom every time you have any kind of sex. There are different strains of HIV. You are still at risk of contracting other strains.

  13. Myth #5 Can you get AIDS from biting? True or False?

  14. FALSE • No. Numerous reports have been recorded that biting did not result in transmission of HIV. Although, in rare cases it can happen. These cases involved severe trauma with extensive tissue tearing and damage and including the presence of blood. Numerous reports have been recorded that biting did not result in transmission of HIV.

  17. HIV Transmission By Amanda White

  18. How is HIV transmitted? • By having unprotected sex (penile, vaginal, or oral) • By sharing needles, syringes • Through pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding • Likelihood of infection is greater when HIV is transmitted directly into the blood (through small tears in the rectal tissues or vaginal walls) • Circumcision reduces likelihood of HIV *Routes of HIV exposure: Blood, semen, vaginal fluids, breast milk

  19. Transmission • Likelihood depends on both the viral dose and the route of HIV exposure • Viral dose direct effect of the viral load-how much virus is present in an infected person’s blood • Viral load is measured by the number of individual viruses in a mL of blood • Transmission is high during a period called primary infection, which lasts a few months

  20. Misconceptions About HIV Transmission • Saliva, tears and sweat • Insects • Kissing • Biting • Swimming in a pool *HIV is not transmitted by day-to-day contact

  22. How is HIV/AIDS Prevented by Andres Salgado

  23. HIV/AIDS Prevention With Sex • Abstinence • Long-term mutually monogamous relationship with uninfected partner. • Use condoms. • Have sober sex. • Fewer partners. • Talk to your partner about past and present sexual history.

  24. HIV/AIDS Prevention with Needle Users • Needle users: • Stop using and injecting drugs. • Enter and complete substance abuse treatment, including relapse prevention. • Needle userswho cannot or will not stop injecting drugs: • Never reuse or "share" syringes, water, or drug preparation equipment. • Only use syringes obtained from a reliable source (such as pharmacies or needle exchange • programs). • Use a new, sterile syringe each time to prepare and inject drugs. • Clean the injection site with a new alcohol swab prior to injection. • Safely dispose of syringes after one use.

  25. Universal Precautions (Matza pp. 282-84) • Needles and sharp objects • Hand washing • Wear gloves • Clean-up spills Trash disposal • Protect cuts, open sores, your eyes and mouth from contact with blood • If you are an HIV-infected woman, don’t breast feed any baby

  26. Remember • Tell your sexual partners if you have HIV • Learn more • Know your HIV status • You have to protect yourself and your sex • partner • The key to achieving a future free of HIV is by using what we • have learned about prevention and help educate the public.

  27. & myths about HIV Part II

  28. Myth #6 Do you think it's illegal to have sex with someone, if you know you have HIV? True or False?

  29. TRUE • Yes, it is illegal. It is called the Criminal Transmission of HIV. In most states, it is illegal if you are aware that you have the virus and do not disclose it to your sexual partner. Some states consider it "attempted homicide", some consider it "premeditated murder”, while others consider it "endangerment.“ But this is still debatable and many find it to be discrimination of AID victims. It is called the Criminal Transmission of HIV.

  30. Myth #7 Teachers can get fired from school because they are HIV positive. True or False?

  31. SOURCE: http://www.ada.gov/archive/hivqanda.txt FALSE Employees are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

  34. Myth #9 In-home testing kits are available. It does not require ablood test. True or False?

  35. TRUE OraQuick only requires oral swabs. It takes 20 minutes and 99% accurate.

  36. Myth #10 If you get HIV, you will die soon? True or False?

  37. False. Although there isn’t a cure for HIV, treatment is so advanced that it is no longer considered a death sentence. People diagnosed with HIV in the United States today can have a near-normal life expectancy and live healthy and active lives. Early diagnosis is particularly important as the longer HIV goes undiagnosed the more damage it can do to the body. FALSE Although there is no cure, there are treatments.

  40. TREATMENTSFORHIV/AIDS BY: Paul R. Aguilar B.S. M.S. Ph.D. Sc.D.

  41. A.R.T. • Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) • Keeping up with a strict and persistent regimen of antiretroviral drugs (ARV) upon diagnosis. • 3 drug combination. • 20+ approved antiretroviral drugs. Examples: Prezista, Didanosine, Isentress

  42. EFFECTIVENESS • Medications in ART are not cures. • Stems and decreases the risk of transmission and replication of virus. • Increased likelihood for survival and improves immune system function. • Untreated HIV patients experience other maladies in various parts of the body; exempli gratia: cardiovascular, liver and kidney disease, and various neurological complications.

  44. HIV in the UNITED STATES by Jake Dailo

  45. HIV AT A GLANCE QUESTION: “I’m a 19 years old and I am equally attracted to both men and women… I guess you can say that I am bisexual. My question is: How likely am I at risk of getting infected with HIV?” JAKE: That’s an excellent question that you have right there. Thank you for asking that. First of all, I want to give an overall picture on how many people are infected in the United States. As of 2009, CDC estimated about 1.1 million people who are living with HIV infection. And among those people, 1 in 5 are unaware of their infection. Now, let’s answer your question on WHO are most likely at risk of contracting HIV and WHY they are affected. 1.1 million 1 in 5 . . . are living with HIV infection in the U.S. . . . are unaware of their infection.

  46. HIV and AFFECTED COMMUNITIES JAKE: We will talk about 3 specific communities grouped based on (1) how it’s transmitted, (2) by race and ethnicity, and (3) and the specific age group that our caller falls under. [in response to the caller] Transmission Race/Ethnicity Youth

  47. HIV and AFFECTED COMMUNITIES How likely is HIV transmitted from Male-to-Female, Male-to-Male or by Injection Drug use? As of 2011, CDC estimated that 62% of those who were newly infected were transmitted from male-to-male contact. And among the 27% of the heterosexual contact, 8,814 were female. Since our caller is a bisexual man, he is in contact with the two mostly at risk groups for contracting HIV. STATISTICS 2011 MSM: 62% Hetero: 27% MSM-IDU: 3% IDU: 7% Male Hetero: 4,588 Female Hetero: 8,814 Total: 49030 1. By Transmission Gay/Bisexual Men +30,573 7% 3% +13,402 62% 27% +1,407 +3,648 Estimated NEW Infections, 2011 +8,814 Source: CDC, HIV Surveillance Report, Vol. 23 Women

  48. HIV and AFFECTED COMMUNITIES Now let’s look at some risk factors for these two groups that are affected. Gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men: the risk factors include sexual risk behaviors such as unprotected receptive anal sex, alcohol and drug use that There are several factors why gay, bisexual men, or simply put men who have sex with men (in short MSM) are affected. Some factors that are very important Sexual Risk Behaviors unprotected receptive anal sex post a high risk of transmission as what Dr. White mentioned earlier. The second factor Alcohol and Illegal drug use Homophobia • Unprotected Sex • Alcohol and drug use • Homophobia, stigma, and • discrimination • Unprotected sex • Alcohol and drug use • Women may be unaware of their • partner’s status.
