Worthey naat presentation for state conference 2010
Dallas County Health and Human Services has a protocol for following up acute HIV infection cases that includes notifying key staff, assigning a disease intervention specialist, attempting to interview the case within 72 hours, enrolling the case in early intervention services within 24 hours, making a medical appointment within 21 days, and enhanced partner notification. The protocol aims to interview high risk partners of acute HIV cases within 72 hours and test them for HIV. Between July 2009 and May 2010, they followed up 26 acute HIV cases, interviewed 23, initiated follow up for 40 partners and 25 suspects, and identified 2 new HIV cases. Their case management activities included linking patients to services and locating and testing their partners.

This document outlines the grounds for disciplinary action and penalties by the Florida Board of Nursing for licensed nurses. It describes offenses that would result in disciplinary action such as license revocation or suspension. These include obtaining a license through misrepresentation, having a license revoked in another state, committing various felonies or unprofessional conduct. Penalties are also described such as suspensions, probation, fines and license reinstatement requirements. Exceptions to the nursing practice act are provided for students, emergency situations and those practicing under other jurisdictions.
APHA2015 Poster_MarshallMorris
This study examined how significant others influence HIV testing intentions among African Americans in Durham, North Carolina. A survey of 100 African American men and women found that significant others did not influence their intentions to get tested. Participants reported strong intentions to get tested regardless of relationship status, partner approval, or opinions from family and friends. The results suggest that HIV testing advocacy may be effective in promoting individual testing behaviors.

STDs are diseases that can be transmitted sexually through intercourse, oral or anal sex, or childbirth. They may not show symptoms right away. Common STDs include gonorrhea, herpes, HIV, and chlamydia. The best ways to prevent STDs are to use condoms consistently, get tested regularly, avoid risky behaviors like sharing needles or having unprotected sex, and get to know sexual partners and their histories. Sex education is important for prevention but many schools focus only on abstinence.

HIV/AIDS
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a result of the development of the HIV virus into a more serious condition. AIDS was first recognised by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified in the early 1980s.
Understanding HIV
HIV is a contagious infection which attacks the immune system, reducing its effectiveness and leaving the body susceptible to infections. The HIV infection damages the cells the body needs to fight illnesses. AIDS can be diagnosed when the number of immune system cells (CD4 cells) in the blood of a person with HIV drops below a certain level.
There is no cure for HIV or AIDS, but there are treatments that can slow down the disease, and help prevent the onset of AIDS. It takes around ten years for someone with HIV to develop AIDS, but it can be prevented with early detection and treatment of the HIV

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
