HIV causes AIDS by attacking CD4 cells of the immune system. It enters cells through binding to CD4 and CXCR4/CCR5 receptors, integrating its RNA into the cell's DNA. This leads to increased viral load and decreased CD4 count over many years until opportunistic infections define AIDS. Globally, HIV has infected over 75 million people and claimed over 32 million lives since the early 1980s.

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS COUNSELLING AND TESTING ...Razak Mohammed Gyasi
Since 2003, the HIV Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) has been identified as one of the key strategies in the HIV/AIDS prevention, control and care programmes in Ghana. However, utilization of this service is low among Ghanaian youth. This study examined predictors associated with VCT utilization among youth in Ghana. This study utilized quantitative and qualitative data in a cross-sectional survey in three sub-metropolitan areas in Kumasi. Using a multi-variate regression, evidence from 120 respondents showed potential factors associated with VCT utilization. The qualitative data were subjected to a content analysis through direct quotes. The results suggest that less than 30% of the youth had ever tested for HIV through VC. Women were more likely to avail themselves for counselling testing than men. Psychological and emotional trauma experienced by the seropositive, lack of confidentiality, proximity to VCT sites, HIV-related stigma inter alia, were found to be strongly associated with HIV VCT in the study prefecture. VCT utilization among the youth in Ghana was low and affected by HIV/AIDS-related stigma and residence. In order to increase VCT acceptability, HIV/AIDS prevention and control programs in the country should focus on reducing HIV/AIDS-related stigma.

BACKGROUND Invasive Cervical Cancer ICC has been identified as the second most common cause of morbidity and mortality compared to other cancers among women in Cameroon. Cervical cancer can be treated e ectively if diagnosed early. Less than half the number of participants presented with good practice.The correlation between participants’ knowledge, attitude and practice showed that there was a significant association which therefore provides sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. The result obtained in this study indicates how useful it will be to establish health education programs to increase women’s awareness and knowledge about cervical cancer. Fongang Che Landis | Enow-Orock George | Njajou Omer | Ngowe Ngowe Marcelin "Knowledge, Attitude and Practice toward Cervical Cancer and Cervical Cancer Screening and Its Associated Factors among Women in the City of Bamenda, Cameroon" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-4 , June 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.compapers/ijtsrd43667.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.commedicine/other/43667/knowledge-attitude-and-practice-toward-cervical-cancer-and-cervical-cancer-screening-and-its-associated-factors-among-women-in-the-city-of-bamenda-cameroon/fongang-che-landis
Background: The incidence of cancers is increasing worldwide, particularly in the developing countries as shown by recent cancer stastics from the WHO. It is even anticipated that with the increase in life expentancy, consequent upon inproved standard of living and globalization, the burden of cancers will increase within this millenium. With respective to cancer of the prostate, it is the most common type of cancer in urology. In developing countries, diagnostic is done at a late stage of evolution. In Cameroon, data on prostate cancer are scanty whereas the incidence of this disease is increasing. Objective: This article is designed to describe the epidemiological features of prostate cancer at the General Hospital of Yaoundé. Patients and methods: A 4-year retrospective study of patients seen with the diagnosis of cancer at the Medical Oncology unit of the Yaoundé General Hospital between January 2012 and December 2015. The demographic pattern (age of patients, socio professional activity, marital status), clinical features (cancer diagnosis), treatment modalities and outcome were studied. Main results: Of the 7 775 patients enrolled in the Medical Oncology Service over the study period, 1.4% (n = 108) cases of prostate cancer were seen. The prevalence over the study period was 1.38% and a relatively large annual growth of cases with an annual average of 27 cases was noted. The average age of patients was 67.82 years with a range of 34-83 years. The commonest presenting symptoms were the urinary frequency (54.63%) whereas the least common were fatigue (05.5%) and straining (03.70%). PSA was obtained in 49 patients, representing about 45.4% of all patients. Only 14 (01.26%) had biopsy reports. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is a major problem facing the aging male, and inadequate facilities make early detection difficult. Therefore, treatment is mainly palliative because of late diagnosis.
Abstract—Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the major global public health problems with nearly 2 billion people infected worldwide. So this present study was planned to have information about socio-demographic characteristics of study subjects, level of knowledge about Hepatitis B and vaccination among adults. A cross-sectional, community-based study about hepatitis B knowledge and vaccination status among ethnic 1300 Kashmiri population aged 18 years and above was conducted. The study area was block Hazratbal of district Srinagar. There were 970 (74.6%) females and 330 (25.4%) males. Majority of our participants (54.7%) were in the age group of 21-40 years. Most of the participants were from urban areas(68%), currently married(66.8%), illiterate(64.8), members of joint family(59%) and belonging to socio-economic class II(67.2%). Regarding knowledge, only 10.2% subjects had heard of Hepatitis B before this study. Among them, 50 (37.6%) participants were aware of the modes of transmission of this disease. About the Hepatitis B vaccination, only 26 (2%) participants out of 1300 had ever received the vaccine. Keeping in view, the low level of knowledge about Hepatitis B in the general population, there is a need to organize health education campaigns targeting both health care workers as well as public, so that they adopt all possible measures to prevent the spread of this fatal infection.

The Importance of Community Nursing Care.pdfAD Healthcare
NDIS and Community 24/7 Nursing Care is a specific type of support that may be provided under the NDIS for individuals with complex medical needs who require ongoing nursing care in a community setting, such as their home or a supported accommodation facility.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Group N Group O Group P
HIV 2
Group
A-H
12. • HIV 1
• most common and pathogenic strain of the virus
• major group (Group M) namely Group N, O and a group P.
• With 'M' for "major", this is by far the most common type of HIV, with more than
90% of HIV/AIDS cases deriving from group M
• M group is subdivided further into clades, called subtypes from A-L
12
13. • Subtype A - eastern Africa.
• Subtype B -Europe, the Americas, Japan, and Australia
• Subtype C - Southern Africa, Eastern Africa, India, Nepal, and parts of China.
• Subtype D - Eastern and central Africa
• Subtype E - Southeast Asia
• Subtype F - in central Africa, South America and Eastern Europe
• Subtype G - in Africa and central Europe.
• Subtype H - central Africa
• Subtype J is primarily found in North, Central and West Africa, and the Caribbean
• Subtype K and L is limited to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and
Cameroon.
13
14. • Group N
• The 'N' stands for "non-M, non-O".
• This group was discovered by a Franco-Cameroonia team in 1998 .
• As of 2015, less than 20 Group N infections have been recorded.
• Group O
• The O ("Outlier") group has infected about 100,000 individuals located in West-
Central Africa
• Most common in Cameroon, 2% of HIV-positive samples were from Group O.
14
15. • Group P
• In 2009, a newly analyzed HIV sequence was reported to have greater similarity to a
simian immunodeficiency virus recently discovered in wild gorillas
• The virus had been isolated from a Cameroonian woman residing in France who was
diagnosed with HIV-1 infection in 2004.
15
16. • HIV 2
• The first case in the United States was in 1987.
• As of 2010, there are 8 known HIV-2 groups (A to H).
• Of these, only groups A and B are pandemic.
• Group A is found mainly in West Africa, but has also spread globally to Angola,
Mozambique, Brazil, India, Europe, and the US.
• Group B is mainly confined to West Africa
• HIV-2 is closely related to simian immunodeficiency virus endemic in sooty
mangabeys (Cercocebus atys atys) (SIVsmm), a monkey species inhabiting the
forests of Littoral West Africa.
16
18. HIV STRUCTURE
• spherical, 100 (90-120) nm in diameter.
• lipid envelope, in which are embedded the
trimeric transmembrane glycoprotein gp41
to which the surface glycoprotein gp120 is
attached
• matrix protein p17,
• core proteins p24 and p6
• nucleocapsid protein p7
• lies 2 copies of the ~10 kilobase (kb)
positive-sense, viral RNA genome (i.e. it has
a diploid RNA genome),
• protease, integrase and reverse transcriptase
enzymes. 18
19. HIV STRUCTURE
• Viral Genes and antigens
• 9 genes to code for the necessary
proteins and enzymes.
• principal genes are gag, pol, and
env.
• gag gene - core proteins.
• pol gene- enzymes
• env gene - glycoproteins.
• rev, nef, vif, vpu, vpr, and tat—are
important for viral replication and
enhancing HIV’s infectivity rate.
19
20. • Genes coding for structural proteins
• participate in functional structure of virus
• 1.gag gene(group specific antigen)
• encodes for core and shell of virus
• gene product is precursor protein p55 ,cleaved into p17(matrix protein),p24,p15
• The p24 (CA-capsid )protein forms the conical core of viral particles
• p24 antigen(major core protein) can be detected in early stages in serum till the
appearance of the antibodies
20
21. • 2.pol gene
• encodes reverse transcriptase ,protease and integrase
• Pol has RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent polymerase activities.
• expressed as precursor protein cleaved into p64,p51,p10,p32
• p64-reverse transcriptase and RNAse activity
• p51-only reverse transcriptase activity
• p10-protease,p32-integrase
• RT is required to transcribe DNA from RNA template, and IN is necessary to
integrate the double-stranded viral DNA into the host genome.
21
22. • env gene(envelop)
• determines synthesis of envelop gp160 that is cleaved into gp120 and gp41
• cleaved by a host protease, furin, within the endoplasmic reticulum of the host cell.
• The post-translational processing produces a surface glycoprotein, gp120 , which
attaches to the CD4 receptors present on lymphocytes, and gp41, which embeds in
the viral envelope to enable the virus to attach to and fuse with target cells
22
23. Essential regulatory proteins
• tat (HIV trans-activator)
• regulates the reverse transcription of viral genome RNA, ensuring efficient
synthesis of viral mRNAs and regulating the release of virions from infected cells.
• rev (regulator of expression of virion proteins):
• The Rev protein binds to the viral genome via an arginine-rich RNA-binding motif
that also acts as a NLS (nuclear localization signals), required for the transport of
Rev to the nucleus from cytosol during viral replication.
• Rev recognizes a complex stem-loop structure of the mRNA env located in the
intron separating coding exon of Tat and Rev, known as the HIV Rev response
element (RRE)
23
24. Non structural and regulatory proteins
• vif (viral infectivity factor gene)
• important for the infectivity of HIV-1 virions depending on the cell type. HIV-1 has
been found to require Vif to synthesize infectious viruses in lymphocytes,
macrophages, and certain human cell lines.
• vpr
• important role in replication of the virus, specifically, nuclear import of the
preintegration complex.
• also arrest host cell cycle in the G2 phase. This arrest activates the host DNA repair
machinery which may enable integration of the viral DNA.
• HIV-2 encode an additional Vpr related protein called Vpx which functions in
association with Vpr.
• vpu (Virus protein U) -
• specific to HIV-1
• involved in CD4 degradation 24

29. AIDS
• Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ( "slim disease")
• caused by a retrovirus known as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which
breaks down the body's immune system
• HIV 1(central africa) and HIV 2(west africa and india) known to cause AIDS
• diagnosed when CD4 cell count falls below 200 cells/mm3
• immune system ceases and results in advanced HIV (<50cells/mm3)
• When HIV infects a cell, it combines with that cell's genetic material and may lie
inactive for years. Most people infected with HIV are still healthy and can live for
years with no symptoms or only minor illnesses. They are infected with HIV, but they
do not have AIDS.
• without ART progression of HIV to death is 10-12 years
29
30. CLINICAL FEATURES
• The clinical features of HIV infection have been classified into four broad categories
:
• I. Initial infection with the virus and development of antibodies
• II. Asymptomatic carrier state
• Ill. AIDS-related complex (ARC)
• IV. AIDS.
30
31. • (I) INITIAL INFECTION
• mild illness (fever. sore throat and rash) about 70 per cent of people
• most HIV -infected people have no symptoms for the first five years
• Once infected, people are infected for life.
• HIV antibodies usually take between 2 to 12 weeks to appear in the blood-stream
• The period before antibodies are produced is the "window period" during which,
although the person is particularly infectious because of the high concentration of
virus in the blood, he will test negative on the standard antibody blood test.
• (II) ASYMPTOMATIC CARRIER STATE
• Infected people have antibodies, but no overt signs of disease, except persistent
generalized lymphadenopathy.
31
32. • (III)AIDS RELATED COMPLEX
• damage to the immune system, but no opportunistic infections
• they may exhibit one or more of the following clinical signs; unexplained diarrhoea
lasting longer than a month, fatigue , malaise, loss of more than 10 per cent body
weight, fever, night sweats, or other milder opportunistic infections such as oral
thrush,generalized lymphadenopathy or enlarged spleen.
• Patients from high-risk groups who have two or more of these manifestations
(typically including generalised lymphadenopathy), and who have a decreased
number of T -helper lymphocytes are considered to have AIDS-related complex
32
33. • (IV) AIDS
• End- stage of HIV infection
• Tuberculosis and Kaposi sarcoma
• fungal infections such as Candida oesophagitis, Cryptococcus meningitis
• parasitic infections such as Pneumocystis carinni pneumoni,or Toxoplasma gondii
encephalitis when T-helper cell count has dropped to around 100.
• cytomegaloviral retinitis
• "slim disease".
• AIDS encephalopathy or AIDS dementia
33
34. • Signs and symptoms-Fever,fatigue, maculopapular rash,headache,weight loss,
depression,night sweats,oral or genital ulcers
• Acute infection -few days -more than 10 weeks

34
35. WORLD AIDS DAY
• World AIDS Day takes place on 1 December each year.
• It’s an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, to show
support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from
an AIDS-related illness.
• Founded in 1988, World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day.
• THE RED RIBBON
• universal symbol of awareness and support
for people living with HIV.
35
36. EPIDEMIOLOGY
• The spread of HIV started at the beginning of the 20th century.
• Zoonotic transmission of SIVcpz from chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) occurred for HIV-1
group M and group O around 1920 and for HIV-1 group N around 1960 in West Central Africa.
• HIV-2 was transmitted zoonotically from sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys) to human in West Africa
around 1940.
• Since the mid-1980s the different HIV-1 M subtypes have been spreading, leading to a global
pandemic. In contrast to HIV-1, HIV-2 initially remained restricted to West Africa because of its
significantly lower infectivity.
• 35 million people were living with HIV in 2013
• The countries most affected by HIV with a high prevalence among 15- to 49-year-olds are Swaziland
(approximately 27%), Lesotho (approximately 23%) and Botswana (approximately 23%).
36
37. EPIDEMIOLOGY
• Germany
• From 2000 to around 2005 a significant increase of HIV infections was observed,
with a plateau since 2006
• most affected group were MSM with about 75% (2,400/3,200) of the total number of
new HIV infections in 2013.
• The total number of 3,200 (95% CI 3,000–3,400) new infections was estimated for
2013 showing differences in the number of infections in different groups affected
• The most affected group were men who have sex with men (MSM) with about 75%
(2,400/3,200) of the total number of new HIV infections in 2013. Approximately 360
women (11.3%) and 190 men (5.9%) contracted an HIV infection by heterosexual
contacts in Germany (hetero-domestic).
37
38. • Europe
• In 2012, approximately 30,000 new HIV diagnoses have been reported by 30
countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA)
• Most diagnoses were reported in Lithuania, Estonia, Belgium, the UK and
Luxembourg
• In 2012, the ratio of men to women in the group of new infections was 3.2:1.
• Since 2006 the percentage of newly diagnosed cases has been rather stable. However,
infections for which the information ‘sexual contacts between men’ was provided
have been increasing since 2006 by 11% to now 40.4%. The percentage of IVD with
a newly diagnosed HIV infection has been decreasing over the same period by 7%.
38
39. • Africa
• Africa is the continent that is affected most by HIV infections.
• About 25 million people in Africa live with HIV, about 22 million of whom in Sub-
Saharan Africa .
• The estimated HIV prevalence in Africa varies widely and lies between 0.1% in
Egypt and Morocco and about 27% in Swaziland.
• Heterosexual contacts are the main route of infection in Africa, and sex work and
sexual violence contribute significantly to the spread of the disease. Approximately
one third of those infected with HIV received antiretroviral therapy in 2013
• HIV prevalence in rural areas of Central Africa can be as low as a few ‰ and in
urban areas can reach values of up to 30% .
• HIV-1 M:C is the most prevalent subtype worldwide with a percentage of 30–36% of
all subtypes
39
40. • Australia
• In Australia, the number of new HIV diagnoses has been increasing by approximately
26% since 2003 and has reached a value of 5.4/100,000 inhabitants in 2012.
• The main mode of transmission is sexual contact among men .
• In Australia, the most common subtype is HIV-1 M:B; several additional subtypes
were imported mainly from Asia.
• North America
• About 50,000 new HIV diagnoses are reported annually in the USA with an
estimated prevalence of 0.23% .
• Approximately 1.1 million people live with HIV in the USA, 25% of whom are
women. The main route of transmission is sexual contact between men.
• About one third of all persons infected with HIV receive antiretroviral therapy
40
41. • South America
• In Latin America, approximately 1.3–1.9 million people are living with HIV. In
Belize, Guyana and Suriname, the estimated HIV prevalence is above 1% .
• Further recombinants are found in Brazil and in neighbouring countries
• Two other recombinant strains of the subtypes B and F are circulating in Argentina
41
42. • Asia
• In Asia, about 1.7 million people are living with HIV, approximately 50% of whom
receive antiretroviral therapy.
• The number of newly diagnosed HIV infections has decreased from 2001 to 2012
• by about 26%.
• With a generally low HIV prevalence in this region,Cambodia, China and India are
the countries with the highest proportion of new HIV diagnoses.
• The epidemic is concentrated in distinct groups with a high risk of exposure, such as
MSM, sex workers, drug users and transsexuals .
• In Asia, HIV prevalence reflects the contacts with Africa and North America.
42
46. Prevalence of HIV in INDIA
• National adult (15–49 years) HIV prevalence in India is estimated at 0.22%
(0.16% – 0.30%) in 2017.
• In 2017, adult HIV prevalence is estimated at 0.25%(0.18-0.34) among males and at
0.19% (0.14-0.25) among Females.
• The adult HIV prevalence at national level has continued its steady decline from an
estimated peak of 0.38% in 2001-03 through 0.34% in 2007, 0.28% in 2012 and
0.26% in 2015 to 0.22% in 2017.
• Mizoram has shown the highest estimated adult HIV prevalence of 2.04%(1.57-

Telangana (0.70%, 0.50-0.95) and Andhra Pradesh (0.63%, 0.47-0.85).
(India HIV Estimation 2017 report)
46
47. • India is estimated to have had 22.67(10.92-40.60) thousand HIV positive women
who gave birth in 2017.
• State wise Prevention to Mother to child transmission (PMTCT) need were highest in
Maharashtra (2.41 thousand) followed by Uttar Pradesh (2.29 thousands), Bihar,
Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, West Bengal, Gujrat and Tamilnadu while
least were Sikkim.
• Since 2005, when the number of AIDS related deaths (ARD) started to show a
declining trend, the annual number of AIDS related deaths has declined by almost
71%. In 2017 an estimated 69.11 (29.94 –140.84) thousand people died of AIDS-
related causes nationally.
• AIDS-related deaths have dropped in all of India’s States/UT with the exception of
Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Haryana, Delhi, and Uttarakhand.
47
48. • India- 3rd largest HIV epidemic
• 88000 new HIV infections
• 69000 AIDS- related death
• 79 % aware of their status ,56% received antiretroviral treatment
48
49. RISK FACTORS
• Behaviours and conditions that put individuals at greater risk of contracting HIV
include:
• having unprotected anal or vaginal sex;
• having another sexually transmitted infection (STI)
• sharing contaminated needles, syringes and other injecting equipment and drug
solutions when injecting drugs;
• receiving unsafe injections, blood transfusions and tissue transplantation, and
medical procedures that involve unsterile cutting or piercing; and
• experiencing accidental needle stick injuries, including among health workers
49
50. • Key population affected in INDIA -
• Sex workers -
• 2017, 1.6% female sex workers had HIV
• Prevalence-7.4 % in Maharastra ,6.3 % in Andhra Pradesh
• 91% reported they used condom
• People who inject drugs
• majorly in north eastern states 12.1 % in Manipur, 10% in Mizoram
• Transgender people--
• 3.1%(2nd highest)
• NACO reported 45% received interventions
• Migrant workers-7.2 million migrant worker -0.2 % HIV
• Truck drivers-0.2 % lived with HIV
50
51. MODES OF TRANSMISSION
• (a) Sexual transmission (man to man,heterosexual and oral)
• (b) Parenteral(blood or blood product recipients,injection drug users,occupational
injury)
• (c) Vertical -Maternal- foetal transmission : mother-to child transmission
• Exposure rate-90% for blood and blood products
• 15-40%- vertical route
• 0.5-1 %-injection drug use
• 0.2-0.5%- genital mucus membrane spread
• 0.1%-non genital mucus membrane spread
• worldwide major route of transmission >75% is heterosexual
• 5-10 percent -children during pregnancy birth or breastfeeding
51
52. • SEXUAL CONTACT
• AIDS is first and foremost a sexually transmitted disease.
• Any vaginal, anal or oral sex can spread AIDS. Every single act of unprotected
intercourse with an HIV- infected person exposes the uninfected partner to the risk of
infection.
• The size of the risk is affected by a number of factors, including the presence of STD,
the sex and age of the uninfected partner, the type of sexual act, the stage of illness of
the infected partner, and the virulence of the HIV strain involved.
• women are more vulnerable to HIV infection .
• Anal intercourse carries a higher risk of transmission than vaginal intercourse
• For vaginal sex the risk is greater when woman is menstruating.
• Exposed adolescent girls and women above 45 years of age are more prone to get
HIV infection.
• In teenagers the cervix is thought to be less efficient barrier to HIV than in mature
genital tract of adult women.
52
53. • An STD in either the HIV- negative or the HIV-positive partner facilitates the
transmission of HIV.
• The risk of transmission is 8-10 times higher.
• As for HIV-infected people, they are more infectious to others in the very early
stages, before antibody production i.e. during the "window period'', and when the
infection is well advanced, because levels of virus in the blood at that time is higher
than at other times.
53
54. • Blood contact
• AIDS is also transmitted by contaminated blood -transfusion of whole blood cells,
platelets and factors VIII and IX derived from human plasma.
• The risk of contracting HIV infection from transfusion of a unit of infected blood is
estimated to be over 95 per cent.
• Since the likelihood of HIV transmission through blood depends on the "dose" of
virus injected, the risk of getting infected through a contaminated needle, syringe or
any other skin- piercing instrument is very much lower than with transfusion.
• needle- sharing by drug users is a major cause of AIDS in many countries, both
developed and developing, and in some it is the predominant cause.
• Any skin piercing (including injections, ear-piercing, tattooing, accupuncture or
scarification) can transmit the virus, if the instruments used have not been sterilized
and have previously been used on an infected person.
54
55. • Maternal- foetal transmission : mother-to child transmission
• HIV may pass from an infected mother to her foetus, through the placenta or to her
infant during delivery or by breast-feeding. In the absence of any intervention, rates of
this form of transmission can vary from 20- 25 per cent.
• Transmission during the peripartum period accounts for one third to two-thirds of
overall numbers infected
• The risk of infection is higher if the mother is newly infected, or if she has already
developed AIDS. HIV infected infants and children progress rapidly to AIDS.
55
56. How HIV is not transmitted
• shaking hands, hugging or kissing
• coughing or sneezing
• using a public phone
• visiting a hospital
• opening a door
• sharing food, eating or drinking
utensils
• using drinking fountains
• using toilets or showers
• using public swimming pools
• getting a mosquito or insect bite.
56
57. Oral Manifestations of HIV
• Oral manifestations of HIV infection occur in 30–80% of the affected patient
population.
• The various oral manifestations can be categorized into
• Infections: bacterial, fungal, viral
• Neoplasms: Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
• Immune mediated: major aphthous, necrotizing stomatitis
• Others: parotid diseases, nutritional, xerostomia
• Oral manifestations as adverse effects of antiretroviral therapy.
57
58. FUNGAL INFECTIONS
• Candidiasis:
• Oral or pharyngeal candidiasis are the commonest fungal infections observed as
the initial manifestation of symptomatic HIV infection.
• Many patients can have esophageal candidiasis as well.
• It is usually observed at CD4 counts of less than 300/μl.
• Candida albicans although nonalbicans species
have also been reported.
• erythematous candidiasis, pseudomembranous candidiasis,
angular cheilitis, and hyperplastic or chronic candidiasis:
58
59. • Erythematous candidiasis
• presents as a red, flat, subtle lesion either
• on the dorsal surface of the tongue and/or
the hard/soft palates.
• Patients complain of a burning sensation in the mouth
more so while eating salty and spicy food.
• Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical examination, a potassium hydroxide
preparation which demonstrates the fungal hyphae can be used for confirmation.
• Pseudomembranous candidiasis
• appears as creamy white curd-like plaques on the
buccal mucosa, tongue, and other oral mucosal surfaces
that can be wiped away, leaving a red or bleeding surface
• extend to involve the oropharyx and esophagus
59
60. • Angular cheilitis is erythema and/or fissuring and cracks of the corners of the mouth.
Angular cheilitis can occur with or without the presence of erythematous candidiasis
or pseudomembranous candidiasis.
• Hyperplastic or chronic candidiasis presents as white nonremovable plaques over the
mucosal surface; hence they cannot be scraped off.
60
61. • Treatment of oral candidiasis depends on the clinical type, distribution, and severity
of infection.
• TOPICAL TREATMENT
• Clotrimazole troches, nystatin pastilles, and nystatin oral suspension are effective
for mild-to-moderate erythematous and pseudomembranous candidiasis.
• Increased risk of caries can be avoided by using a nystatin oral suspension
(100,000 units/5 ml, rinsing mouth, and expectorating 3 times/day).
• Chlorhexidine 0.12% oral rinses do not contain a cariogenic substrate and may be
similarly effective.
• Topical amphotericin B can also be used in the treatment for resistant candidiasis
and can be prepared by dissolving 50 mg in 500 ml of sterile saline (0.1 mg/ml).
• Clotrimazole 1% cream, miconazole or ketoconazole 2% cream, and nystatin
ointment are useful medications for angular cheilitis and for application to a
removable denture base when there is candidal infection involving the underlying
mucosa.
61
62. • SYSTEMIC TREATMENT
• imidazole (ketoconazole) and triazole (fluconazole and itraconazole) antifungal
medications.
• Fluconazole is given in the dose of 100–200 mg/day.
• The duration of treatment with oral imidazoles usually is around 7–10 days but in
cases of suspicion of esophageal involvement, the duration can be extended to 21
days.
• As per the recent guidelines there is no role of prophylaxis for candidiasis in HIV
patients.
62
63. • 2.Histoplasmosis:
• Granulomatous fungal disease caused by Histoplasma capsulatum.
• The clinical presentation ranges from an asymptomatic or mild lung infection to
an acute or chronic disseminated form.
• Oral histoplasmosis appears as chronic ulcerated areas located on the dorsum of
the tongue, palate, floor of the mouth, and vestibular mucosa. Focal or multiple
sites can be involved.
• In AIDS patients, histoplasmosis is rarely curable, but it can be controlled with
long-term suppressive therapy consisting of the administration of amphotericin B
and ketoconazole.
63
64. • 3.Cryptococcosis:
• Oral manifestations are quite unusual and only two cases have been reported in the
literature.
• The lesions consist of ulcerations of the oral mucosa, but the clinical diagnosis of
oral cryptococcus may be difficult since other microbial infections and trauma may
show similar appearances. Tissue biopsy may be required for the diagnosis and
treatment involves use of amphotericin B.
64
65. VIRAL INFECTIONS
• 1.Oral hairy leukoplakia:
• lateral surface of the tongue, extend to the dorsal and ventral surfaces
• Lesions may be variably sized and may appear as vertical white
striations,corrugations, or as flat plaques, or raised, shaggy plaques with hair-like
keratin projections.
• bilateral and asymptomatic.
• Associated with a localized Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)
infection and occurs most commonly in individuals
whose CD4 lymphocyte count is less than 200/μl.
• This condition usually does not require treatment but use of oral acyclovir, topical
podophyllum resin, retinoids, and surgical removal have all been reported as
successful treatments.
65
66. • 2.Herpes simplex and varicella zoster virus infections:
• Responsible for both primary and recurrent infections
of the oral mucosa.
• Oral manifestations, represented by diffuse mucosal
ulcerations
• Accompanied by fever, malaise, and cervical lymphadenopathy.
• Ulcerations that follow the rupture of vesicles are painful
• Recurrent HSV usually appears in keratinizing oral mucosa
(i.e., palate, dorsum of tongue, and gingiva) as ulcerations
but in most HIV-seropositive patients, this rule is not followed.
• Contact with the varicella zoster virus (VZV) may result
in varicella (chicken pox) as a primary infection and
herpes zoster (shingles) as a reactivated infection.
66
67. • 3.Cytomegalovirus
• CMV-related oral ulcerations, are a recognized complication of HIV infection.
• The diagnosis of oral CMV is based upon the presence of large intranuclear and
smaller cytoplasmic CMV inclusions in the endothelial cells at the base of the
ulcerations.
• These infections usually manifest in stage IV of the infection when there is advanced
immunosupression with a CD4 count below 50.
• The drug of choice for CMV infection is intravenous gancyclovir.
• 4.Human Papilloma Virus
• Human papilloma virus (HPV) causes a focal epithelial and connective tissue
hyperplasia, forming an oral wart.
• In HIV-infected patients, oral HPV-related lesions have a papillomatous appearance,
either pedunculated or sessile, and are mainly located on the palate, buccal mucosa,
and labial commissure.
67
68. Bacterial Infections
• 1.Linear erythematous gingivitis:
• This entity appears as a band of marginal gingival erythema, often with petechiae.
• It is typically associated with no symptoms or only mild gingival bleeding and mild
pain.
• Histological examination fails to reveal any significant inflammatory response,
• Oral rinsing with chlorhexidine gluconate often reduces or eliminates the erythema
and may require prophylactic use to avoid recurrence.
68
69. • 2.Necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP):
• This periodontal lesion is characterized by
generalized deep osseous pain,
significant erythema ,spontaneous bleeding,
and rapidly progressive destruction
of the periodontal attachment and bone.
• The destruction is progressive and can result in loss of the entire alveolar process in
the involved area.
• Patients also have severe halitosis.
• More than 95% of patients with NUP have a CD4 lymphocyte count of less than
200/mm3.
• Treatment consists of rinsing twice daily with chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12%,
metronidazole (250 mg orally four times daily for 10 days), and periodontal
debridement, which is done after antibiotic therapy has been initiated.
69
70. • 3.Syphilis:
• It is an uncommon cause of intraoral ulceration, even in HIV infection.
• It is a chronic, nonhealing, deep, solitary ulceration; often clinically indistinguishable
from that due to tuberculosis, deep fungal infection, or malignancy.
• Combination treatment with penicillin, erythromycin, and tetracycline is the
treatment of choice, the dosage and duration of the treatment depending on the
presence or absence of neurosyphilis.
70
71. NEOPLASMS
• 1.Kaposi's sarcoma:
• It is the most common intraoral malignancy associated with HIV infection. The
lesion may appear as a red-purple macule, an ulcer, or as a nodule or mass.
• KS is especially common among homosexual and bisexual males and is rarely found
in HIV-infected women.
• When only a few lesions exist and the lesions are small (< 1 cm), intralesional
chemotherapy with vinblastine sulfate or sclerotherapy with 3% sodium tetradecyl
sulfate is usually effective.
71
72. • 2.Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma:
• NHL is the most common lymphoma associated with HIV infection and is usually
seen in late stages with CD4 lymphocyte counts of less than 100/mm3.
• It appears as a rapidly enlarging mass, less commonly as an ulcer or plaque, and
most commonly on the palate or gingivae.
• A histological examination is essential for diagnosis and staging.
• Prognosis is poor, with mean survival time of less than 1 year, despite treatment
with multidrug chemotherapy.
72
73. Immune mediated oral lesions
• 1.Aphthous ulcers:
• They are the most common immune-mediated HIV-related oral disorder, with a
prevalence of approximately 2–3%. These ulcers are either large solitary or multiple,
chronic, deep, and painful often lasting much longer in the seronegative population
and are less responsive to therapy.
• Treatment - topical steroid such as clobetesol
when the lesions are accessible
• dexamethasone oral rinse when not accessible.
• Systemic glucocorticosteroid -prednisone 1 mg/kg
• Alternative therapies such as dapsone 50–100 mg daily
and thalidomide 200 mg daily for 4 weeks should be considered in recalcitrant cases.
73
74. • 2.Xerostomia:
• side effect of antiviral medications or other medications commonly , like angiolytics,
antifungals, etc.
• significant risk factor for caries and can lead to rapid dental deterioration.
• lead to oral candidiasis, mucosal injury, and dysphagia, and is often associated with
pain and reduced oral intake of food.
• oral pilocarpine often provides improved salivary flow and consistency.
74
75. Parotid Gland Disease
• gland enlargement and diminished flow of secretions.
• Histologically, there may be lymphoepithelial infiltration and benign cyst formation.
• The enlargement typically involves the tail of the parotid gland or, less commonly,
the submandibular gland, and it may present uni- or bilaterally with periods of
increased or decreased size.
• Occasional swelling can be managed simply by repeated aspiration and rarely is
radical removal of the gland necessary.
• The pathophysiological mechanism is not known, though cytomegalovirus has been
suggested to play a role.
75
77. • HIV prevalence going down in Odisha. The HIV prevalence is going down in
Odisha. Compared to a HIV positive rate of 0.7 per cent in 2014-2015, around 0.3
per cent people in state are HIV positive in 2018-19.
• 16,011 AIDS patients in Ganjam
• 887 pregnant women are HIV positive in the district
• Polasara block has 1,348 AIDS patients, the highest in the district
• 12,195 AIDS patients are being given pension of Rs 500 per month

88. Laboratory Diagnosis
• Screening tests
• A person whose blood contains HIV antibodies is said to be HIV-positive, or
seropositive,
• screening test must be sensitive enough to identify all "true positives",
• specific enough to record few "false positives".
• The first kind of test is normally the ELISA.
• The confirmatory test-Western Blot is a highly specific test
• Virus isolation
• Absolute CD4 cell count
• CD4 Lymphocyte percentage
• HIV Viral load tests
• p24 antigen
88
90. 90
Western blotting (protein blotting or
immunoblotting) is a rapid and sensitive
assay for detection and characterization of
proteins. It is based on the principle of
immunochromatography where proteins are
separated into polyacrylamide gel according
to their molecular weight
91. CONTROL OF AIDS
• Prevention
• Antiretroviral treatment
• specific prophylaxis
• primary health care
91
92. PREVENTION OF AIDS
• Education
• Combination of HIV Prevention-
biomedical,behavioural and structural
interventions

risk groups in different states;
• 2. To understand the trends of HIV epidemic among general population as well as
high-risk groups in different states;
• 3. To understand the geographical spread of HIV infection and to identify emerging
pockets;
• 4. To provide information for prioritization of programme resources and evaluation
of programme impact; and

163. COVID 19 AND HIV
• People living with HIV and on effective antiretroviral treatment (ART) are
currently not at an increased risk of getting coronavirus, or developing severe
symptoms.
• People living with HIV not on treatment or virally suppressed may be at a greater
risk.

169. SUMMARY
• HIV retrovirus icosahedral structure ,HIV 1 and HIV 2
• Globally, 37.9 million people living with HIV 23.3 million people were receiving
antiretroviral treatment in 2018
• HIV Life cycle occurs in six phases
• The three modes of transmission are sexual contact,blood or vertical transmission
• The various oral manifestations can be categorized into bacterial ,viral fungal
infections,neoplasms,immune mediated.
• The diagnosis of HIV can be done clinically by WHO clinical staging and
laboratory tests, ELISA and western blot test being the confirmatory test.
• Prevention can be achieved by creating awareness and treatment can be done by the
antiretroviral therapy.
• It has been targeted to end AIDS by 2030 through the sustainable development
goals 169
170. CONCLUSION
No effective cure currently exists for HIV. But with proper medical care, HIV can be
controlled. . If people with HIV take ART as prescribed, their viral load (amount of
HIV in their blood) can become undetectable. If it stays undetectable, they can live
long, healthy lives and have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to an HIV-negative
partner through sex.
