AIDS & HIV Lecture 2 FIB

Know the difference AIDS & HIV are not the same thing and one must not use the terms interchangeably HIV - is an abbreviation for the name of a virus - Human Immunodeficiency Virus AIDS - is the name of a disease - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

HIV Infection with the virus means that one will test positive for it One is then classified as HIV positive A subject can be HIV positive and AIDS negative

HIV - the virus HIV is a small virus that is made of –just a bit of RNA –and some proteins It is a retrovirus - it can hide in our DNA Viruses are not living organisms - they are parasites on their target cells - they can only replicate once inside the cell

AIDS Infection with HIV will eventually lead to the development of AIDS One does not die directly from the presence of virus or its toxins Death is the result of other infections or cancers that take advantage of the sorry state of the immune system The virus attacks your white blood cells and grows inside them.

Some Facts….. About 25 years since the first recorded case of AIDS Around 30 million people have died to date (officially) 70 million have come in contact with the virus Another 40 million are estimated to contract HIV in the next 10 years! At this time it is not possible to eliminate HIV from the body once it gets in The virus continues to spread rapidly, particularly in developing nations Over half of all new infections occur in people under 25 Over 8000 people die each day of AIDS!

Prevention A B C –Abstinence –Be faithful –Condoms AB - Acceptable to all cultures & faiths C - A problem for some governments and faiths

Questions to answer during the video session Watch and answer these questions: 1) When was aids first detected in the USA? 2) Where did the virus come from? 3) What is a ‘shooting gallery?’ 4) How were those with AIDS treated? 5) What is factor 8? 6) What role did the bath houses play? 7) How well did the Bush White House assist? 8) What is the tortoise, and who is the hare? 9) What solutions are there, if any? 10) What did you learn about some truckers?

Group Questions to Consider 1.Which regions of the World will suffer the most issues from AIDS? 2.Should we supply free drugs to all AIDS suffers who need them? 3.Should funding for health issues be tied to US foreign policy? 4.What lesson can we learn from this story to combat the next pathogen? 5.What disease will visit the human race next?
