1 Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

2  In 2009, the WHO estimated 33.4 million people with AIDS worldwide  2.7 million new HIV infections each year

3  Final stage of HIV  Considered a Pandemic  Interferes with the immune system

4  Lysogenic virus

5  Transmitted through body fluids

6  Mucous membranes and blood stream:  Blood  Hypodermic needles  Vaginal, oral, or anal sex  Pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding

7  Immunosuppressant  Opportunistic infections  Tumors  Flu-like illness upon contraction (sometimes)

14  Blood Testing

15  Drug ‘cocktails’  HAART  Highly active anti retroviral therapy  Expensive  Multiple side effects  Not available in all countries

16  There is currently no cure for HIV or AIDS

17  HIV is the same as AIDS  Sex with a virgin cures AIDS  HIV antibody testing is unreliable  HIV can be transmitted by:  Hugging  Touching  Kissing  Coughing  Sneezing  HIV positive people can be detected by their appearance

18  HIV cannot be transmitted through oral sex  HIV is transmitted by mosquitoes  HIV cannot live for very long outside the body  HIV only infects homosexual men and drug users  A woman with HIV cannot have children  AIDS came from human-monkey intercourse

19  60 million people infected worldwide  25 million deaths  First reported on June 5 th, 1981  By CDC due to 5 homosexual men contracting pneumocystis pneumonia

20  Originally called GRID  Gay Related Immune Deficiency  4 H Disease  Homosexual, Heroin user, Haitians, Hemophiliacs

21  First positive case from the Congo in 1959  Genetic studies show it jumped from chimpanzees around 50 years earlier

22  Most likely entered the U.S. from Haiti

23  Rock Hudson  Freddie Mercury  Arthur Ashe  Magic Johnson  Isaac Asimov

24  Truly and international disease  If a country acts quickly spread can be slowed  Used to be a death sentence

25  Worst affected continent  9 countries have more than 10% of adult population infected  Botswana = 24.8%  South Africa = 17.8%  ~5.6 million people have HIV  Most of any country

26  Spending  Education  Medicine and Health  Health workers  Diagnostic tests

28  Why is HIV considered an international disease?  Is AIDS a pandemic? Why or why not?  How does scientific education affect the spread of AIDS?  How has HIV changed with regard to lifespan over the last 60 years?  Why is Africa called a continent of orphans?

29  1. What were the major populations initially at risk of contracting HIV in the U.S.?  2. What population is the fastest rising group that is contracting HIV?  3. What are 3 ways that HIV can be transmitted?  4. What region of the world is currently the most affected by HIV and AIDS?  5. Describe one of the major symptoms of HIV or AIDS.

30  6. What do you think is the best way for the CDC and WHO to handle the current AIDS pandemic? What do you think is the best preventative technique?
