Slide 1-

Treatment of HIV-Related Illnesses and AIDS
Slide 2-

Is HIV and AIDS the same thing?
Slide 3-

Key Terms Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)- virus that primarily infects cells of the immune system and that causes AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)- disease that is caused by HIV infection, which weakens the immune system Pandemic- disease that spreads quickly through human populations all over the world
Slide 4-

HIV “Human Immunodeficiency Virus” A specific type of virus (a retrovirus) HIV invades the helper T cells to replicate itself. No Cure
Slide 5-

AIDS Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome HIV is the virus that causes AIDS Disease limits the body’s ability to fight infection A person with AIDS has a very weak immune system No Cure
Slide 6-

Key Terms Helper T Cell- white blood cell that activates the immune response and that is the primary target cell of HIV infection Opportunistic Infection- illness due to an organism that causes disease in people with weakened immune systems; commonly found in AIDS patients Asymptomatic stage- infection in which the infectious agent, such as HIV, is present but there are few or no symptoms of the infection
Slide 7-

Three Phases of HIV
Slide 8-

Phase 1- Asymptomatic Stage Short, flu-like illness, swollen glands, fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, or fevers - occurs one to six weeks after infection no symptoms at all Infected person can infect other people Lasts for an average of ten years HIV antibodies are detectable in the blood
Slide 9-

Phase 2 - Symptomatic The symptoms worsen Mental changes, forgetfulness & abnormal thinking patterns
Slide 10-

Phase 3 - HIV  AIDS Immune system weakens Emergence of opportunistic infections and cancers The illnesses become more severe leading to an AIDS diagnosis
Slide 11-

Opportunistic Infections associated with AIDS Bacterial Tuberculosis (TB) Pneumocystis pneumonia Viral Kaposi Sarcoma-purple-red blotches on the skin Influenza (flu)
Slide 12-

Modes of HIV/AIDS Transmission
Slide 13-

Through Bodily Fluids Blood products Semen Vaginal fluids Breast Milk
Slide 14-

Through IV Drug Use Sharing Needles Without sterilization Increases the chances of contracting HIV
Slide 15-

Through Sex Intercourse (penile penetration into the vagina) Oral Anal Digital Sex
Slide 16-

Mother-to-Baby Before Birth During Birth Postpartum After the birth
Slide 17-

Key Terms Universal Precautions- set of procedures used to avoid contact with body fluids & to reduce the risk of spreading HIV & other diseases HIV-antibody test- detects HIV antibodies to determine if a person has been infected with HIV HIV Positive- person who tests positive in 2 different HIV tests Drug Combination Therapy- AIDS treatment program in which patients regularly take more than one drug
Slide 18-

Testing Options for HIV
Slide 19-

Anonymous Testing No name is used Unique identifying number Results issued only to test recipient 23659874515 Anonymous
Slide 20-

Confidential Testing Person’s name is recorded along with HIV results Name and positive results are reported to the State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Results issued only to test recipient
Slide 21-

Oral Testing Orasure The only FDA approved HIV antibody. As accurate as blood testing Draws blood-derived fluids from the gum tissue. NOT A SALIVA TEST!
Slide 22-

T cell count test Shows the strength of a patient’s immune system This test can also tell whether a person has developed AIDS
Slide 23-

Viral load test Measures of the number of viruses in the blood The higher the viral load, the more infectious the person’s body fluids are likely to be and the closer that person is to having AIDS
Slide 24-

Retest Should be retested 6 months after the first test An initial negative test can be misleading if the test is done too soon after infection
Slide 25-

Treatment Options
Slide 26-

Three ways to protect yourself? Practice abstinence Avoid multiple partners- Monogamous Relationship Don’t share needles, syringes, drug injection equipment, or any item that may put a person in contact with blood
Slide 27-

Abstinence It is the only 100 % effective method of not acquiring HIV/AIDS. Refraining from sexual contact: oral, anal, or vaginal. Refraining from intravenous drug use
Slide 28-

Monogamous relationship A mutually monogamous (only one sex partner) relationship with a person who is not infected with HIV HIV testing before intercourse is necessary to prove your partner is not infected
Slide 29-

Protected Sex Use condoms (female or male) every time you have sex (vaginal or anal) Always use latex or polyurethane condom (not a natural skin condom) Always use a latex barrier during oral sex
Slide 30-

When Using A Condom Remember To: Make sure the package is not expired Make sure to check the package for damages Do not open the package with your teeth for risk of tearing Never use the condom more than once
Slide 31-

HIV/ AIDS drugs Side effects include kidney & liver damage 30% of people who start taking some of these drugs become so sick they have to stop taking them
