1. C-Notes: HIV/AIDS and STDs
Stnd: 5.4 G
C-Notes: HIV/AIDS and STDs
02/27/2014
Objective:
SWBAT identify the different symptoms related to HIV/AIDs and STDs

2. What are some Ground Rules?
We are about to spend 6 lessons on prevention of the spread of HIV/AIDS and other STD’s.
Ground Rules
One person speaks at a time (raise your hand)
No Putdowns (Respect differences)
No dumb questions
Don’t use names to tell a story
Classroom discussions are confidential
I know that this could be challenging because of controversy and misunderstandings that surrounds HIV/AIDS and STDS. So we need to set some ground rules before we begin.

3. (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
What is HIV?
(Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
A Virus that causes AIDS.
HIV weakens several organ systems and destroys the body’s immune system, making it easier for life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to invade the body
Certain drugs have become popular among teens and young adults at dance clubs and raves.

8. Blood
Breast milk
Semen & Pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum)
Vaginal fluid
These 4 fluids can transmit HIV into a person’s bloodstream through 4 commonly openings:
Mouth
genitals (vagina & penis)
anus
breaks in the skin
Which body fluids can transmit HIV?

9. Lesson Two
Next: Mismatch Activity

10. Sex (anal, vaginal, or oral) Sharing needles
When an infected person’s blood, semen, or vaginal secretions come in contact with an uninfected person’s broken skin or mucous membranes.
Sex (anal, vaginal, or oral)
Sharing needles
HIV infected women to their babies before or during birth, or breast feeding after birth
What are the most common ways that HIV is transmitted??
If the person performing oral sex has HIV , blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through the opening of the penis, bagina, anus or through any open cuts or sores.

11. What happens to the body when HIV enters the body?
HIV takes over the T cells
(immune system fights back by producing antibodies)
T Cells becomes HIV factories
Newly infected person may run a fever or experience flu-like symptoms during the first few days
HIV antibodies
are not detected for 3-6 months later
This is called the “Window Period”
AIDS is diagnosed later
can not be cured

12. Lesson Two
Optional

13. How can you tell if you are infected with HIV? (symptoms)
Only way getting tested
(do NOT rely on symptoms b/c it takes many years for symptoms to occur)
Warning Signs:
Rapid weight loss
Dry cough
Swollen lymph glands in the armpit, groin, or neck
Diarrhea (lasting for more than a week)
White spots on the tongue, mouth or throat
Pneumonia
Red, brown, pinkish/purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
Memory loss, depression and other neurological disorders.
However, do not assume you are infected if you have any of these symptoms.

14. What is AIDS?
(Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
A condition which limits the body’s ability to fight infections
Is a later stage of HIV, often occurring eight or more years after a person is infected with HIV

15. What is the worldwide AIDS pandemic?
Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
30.8 million adults and 2.5 million children in the world (Pandemic)
1.1 million people in the United States (Epidemic)
100,000 people diagnosed cases of AIDS in California

18. What populations are at risk for HIV?
More than half of new HIV infections occurs among gay, bisexual men, heterosexual and injection drug users.

20. Is there a connection between HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases?
Yes
Having an STD can increase a person’s risk of becoming infected with HIV, whether the STD cause open sores, or breaks in the skin. (ex: herpes and syphilis) or does not cause breaks in the skin (chlamydia, gonorrhea)

21. (Sexually Transmitted Disease)
What are STD’s?
(Sexually Transmitted
Disease)
Diseases that are spread during vaginal, anal, and/or oral sex
Ex:
Pubic Lice
Chlamydia
Gonorrhea
Syphilis
Hepatitis A & C
Genital Herpes
HIV
HPV

22. Lesson Three (after cards and photos)

23. Lesson Three

24. You CANNOT get HIV from:
a toilet seat
being coughed or sneezed on
sharing eating utensils
living with someone who is HIV positive
sharing a bathroom
tears, saliva, or sweat
casual contact

25. What are Pubic Lice? “Crabs”
Caused by External parasite that infests the pubic region
Transmission
Close physical contact or using clothing, bedding or towel of an infected person
Symptoms
Intense itching in genital or anal region where there is body hair
Treatment
Curable with OTC shampoos and creams as well as washing all clothing and bedding

27. What is Chlamydia? Caused by Bacteria Treated with antibiotics
Long term effects: (Not treated)
Women: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), damage to reproductive organ, tubal (ectopic) pregnancies and infertility
Men: inflammation of testicles, prostate, and scrotum and infertility
Both: Arthritis
Symptoms
Women (none): Unusual discharge from vagina, abdominal and urination pain, and vaginal bleeding
Men(2- 6weeks): Burning when urinating and clear-to-white discharge
**Many infected individuals do not have any symptoms**
Although chlamydia is usually asymptomatic in women, it may present with inflammation of the cervix.
Chlamydia:
Clear or milky urethral discharge may be a symptom of chlamydia in men.

29. What is Gonorrhea? Caused by Bacteria Can be treated with antibiotics
If untreated, may lead to infertility and damage to reproductive organs.
Symptoms
Women (none): Thick discharge from vagina, abdominal and urination pain, pain during intercourse and/or vaginal bleeding
Men (2-7 days): Burning when urinating, testicular pain or swelling and thick, yellowish-green discharge
**Many infected individuals do not have any symptoms**

31. What is Syphilis? Caused by Bacteria Can be treated with antibiotics
Symptoms (progresses in 4 stages)
1st (10-14 days): Painless reddish brown sores that appears on the genital area called “chancres”
2nd (Later): rashes, swollen joints, fever, and hair loss
3rd (silent): no symptoms
4th (after 1st year): brain damage, heart disease, blindness, damage to spinal cord, and death

34. What are Genital Herpes?
Caused by Virus (Two types)
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) : cold sores
HSV-2: genital herpes
** May cause a single outbreak or recurrences over time**
Recurrences are triggered by:
Menstrual cycle (women)
Stress
Fever
Intercourse
Sun tanning
Some meds
Symptoms
Small painful blisters on sex organs that break into open sores
May have no symptoms
No cure. Symptoms can be treated with meds to reduce the outbreaks

36. What is Hepatitis B? Caused by Virus that affects the liver
Transmission
Infected blood through vaginal, anal and oral sex
Common from sharing toothbrush and razors from an infected person
Symptoms (none)
50% of people has no symptoms but may include jaundice (yellowish skin and eyes), and flu-like symptoms
No CURE, but there is a vaccine to prevent infection.

37. What is HPV? (Human Papilloma Virus)
A Virus that causes genital warts and cervical cancer
Symptoms
Small painless cauliflower-like bumps on sex organs and anus that can multiply quickly
Itchiness, discomfort and bleeding with intercourse
No cure. Can remove bump with creams, lasers, burns or freezing but the virus will still be under the tissue. (Vaccine for cervical cancer is available for females)
