This presentation will cover the basics of HIV and AIDS. By the end of this presentation, we hope that everyone will understand what HIV and AIDS mean, how the virus is transmitted, and Saskatchewan HIV statistics.
What’s HIV and AIDS ?
Difference between HIV and AIDS ?
Progression of HIV and AIDS.
Transmission of HIV.
Antiretroviral Therapy.
Testing for HIV Infection.
Reaching the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. This presentation was originally conducted at the Office of HIV Planning's Community Empowerment Workshop held at St. Luke's Church on October 16, 2012.
The future belongs to young people ...
and it is us who will be affected most by the decisions we take today on Aids/HIV epidemic, climate change, food, energy, environmental degradation, economic stability and the continuing challenge of world poverty.
Such decisions will influence the shape and quality of our future lives and could even dictate how long we will live. So it is very important that us, as individuals and as a group, take a keen interest in these issues now – and make absolutely sure our views are heard.

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

“Undetectable = Untransmittable” (U=U) is a campaign that has caused a few controversies, not to mention the medicolegal implications. This campaign confirms that the sexual transmission of HIV can be stopped once the infected partner is virologically suppressed. How true is this and how relevant is it? In this presentation, I discussed the concept of U=U as one of the measures to reduce the incidence of HIV and help people live a more fulfilling life while also living with the disease.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Programme in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas
WELCOME TO OUR ONLINE LEARNING CENTRE
3. WHAT IS HIV?
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. The acronym
HIV stands for:
H - Human
I - Immuno- deficiency
V - Virus
4. WHAT IS AIDS?
The acronym AIDS stands for:
A - Acquired
I - Immune
D - Deficiency
S - Syndrome
5. How can a person become
infected with HIV?
• By having unprotected sexual intercourse with an
infected person
• Through the transfusion of blood produced from an
infected source (e.g. by sharing drug needles with
an infected person)
• Through mother to child transmission, where an
infected mother can pass the virus to her child
during pregnancy, at birth or through breast feeding
6. Three (3) Things for HIV
Transmission
1. There must a person with HIV involved (the virus
needs to leave the HIV positive person)
2. There must be enough active amount of the virus
present.
3. The virus must enter the other person’s body and
get into their blood stream
7. Ways HIV is not
Spread…
• HIV is not transmitted by:
– kissing,
– ‘casual’ or everyday contact between people
– coughing, sneezing, touching or hugging
someone who has the virus
– biting insects such as mosquitos
8. ORAL SEX AND HIV
• The risk of HIV infection from oral sex (giving or
receiving) is very small BUT it’s still not considered a
safe sex activity
• It is a low risk activity – meaning that chances are
low but using some form of protection is still
strongly advised
9. UNBORN BABIES AND HIV
• An HIV positive woman can give birth to a child who does
not have HIV, if the HIV positive mother takes special drugs
(ART) which will prevent the baby from becoming infected
• Also strongly recommended that HIV positive mothers do
not breastfeed their baby
• Transmission of HIV can occur in the womb, during birth, or
during breastfeeding
10. SIGNS OF HIV
• Can you tell if someone has HIV just by looking at
them?
• NO! A person with HIV can live for many years with no
signs or symptoms of illness
• If symptoms do develop in early infection, they are
usually similar at first to those of a common minor
illness such as the flu
11. HIV TESTING
• The only way you can tell if you have HIV for certain is
to take an HIV test
• VCT – Voluntary Counseling and Testing
• Locations in the Bahamas – HIV AIDS Centre, Local
Government Clinics, Adolescent Health Centre,
Bahamas Family Planning Association, any Private
Doctor
12. WINDOW PERIOD
• The “window period” is the time it takes for a person who
has been infected with HIV to react to the virus by creating
HIV antibodies (seroconversion)
• In the window period, people infected with HIV have no
antibodies in their blood that can be detected by an HIV
test, but the person may already have high levels of HIV in
their blood, sexual fluids or breast milk
13. WINDOW PERIOD
Condt.
• Although HIV may not be detected by a test during
the window period, HIV can be transmitted during
that time
• If you think you have been exposed to HIV, you
must wait another 3 months to get tested again –
the antibody will not show up in the test until then
14. WHO IS AT RISK FOR
HIV?
• PEOPLE WHO HAVE/ARE:
– unprotected sex (sex without a condom)
– many sexual partners who do not use a condom 100% of
the time
– had repeated Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
– Sexually active homosexual and bisexual males who do
not use a condom 100% of the time
15. WHO IS AT RISK
condt…
• Male and female sex workers (prostitutes) who do
not use a condom 100% of the time
• Persons who have sex with someone who is HIV
positive who do not use a condom 100% of the time
• Past or present users of needles which are used to
inject illicit drugs e.g. heroin
16. IS THERE A CURE FOR
HIV & AIDS?
• Currently there is no cure for HIV or AIDS.
• There are medications available which help to
manage HIV infection and which can help the
person live a relatively healthily and productive life.
17. HOW CAN YOU
PROTECT YOURSELF?
• Abstain or delay sex
• Be faithful to one uninfected partner
• Use a latex condom every time you have sex with a
partner
• Do not use drugs or share injection needles
• Seek early and complete treatment for STIs
• Get the facts on STIs and AIDS
• Know your Status and your partner’s Status- get tested for
HIV
