In this class we will try to understand how HIV causes us to be ill
How it could infect any one of us if we are not careful and follow some simple rules

5. What fights germs in our blood. The white cells
What fights germs in our blood? The white cells. These act as policemen in our blood to protect us from germs. Revise. They keep us healthy

6. Show video 1 – microscope appearance of white cells chasing and killing germs when they surround them

7. HIV is different. When white cells eat HIV germs the germs do not get killed. Instead they grow inside the white cell. The white cell is changed by the germ so that the white cells actually make new HIV germs. Explain this picture

Policemen protect our community from rowdies. But what will happen if rowdies change our policemen into rowdies!?

11. Our white cells stop protecting us because they have been damaged or changed by HIV. We lose protection against other even ordinary germs. Then we get infections in many parts of our body

12. When our body gets infections everywhere the HIV infection is now called AIDS. People used to die because of AIDS

13. But we can stop HIV!
Ordinary germs are all around is. They ccan invade our body through eating food that is not clean, water, air or skin wounds.
But HIV can only spread to us through 4 ways.

21. HIV is now treatable Tablets called ART cannot cure AIDS
HIV is now treatable Tablets called ART cannot cure AIDS. They can control the HIV virus damaging white cells as long as the tablets are taken. These tablets are free and supplied by the Government

22. Tablets Can also stop spread from infected mothers to their children

23. Revise Unprotected sex- most important
Same needle or syringe being reused
Blood transfusion with HIV infected blood
From mother to child
Are these preventable?
Do you think you will never allow sexual ways of becoming infected?
