Republic of Congo.
• Being hunted and eaten by people living in the area
• Scientific research identified virus in 1980s
• 1999 a strain of SIV in a chimpanzee identical to HIV
• Chimps: source of HIV-1, the virus had crossed species
HISTORY OF HIV / AIDS
Evolution of the virus
• SIVcpz was transferred by eating flesh or blood in the wounds
• The virus adapted itself within human host and became HIV-1
• The spread there of resulted via transport links & sex trade
• 1980 it was recognised in the US as a new health condition
• In 1981, a few cases reported among gay men in New York and California,
such as Kaposi's Sarcoma (a rare cancer) and a lung infection called PCP.
HISTORY OF HIV / AIDS
Evolution of the virus
• Mid-1982 scientists realised the 'disease' was also spreading among
other populations such as haemophiliacs
• By September 1982, the 'disease' was finally named AIDS.
• 1960s, the 'B' subtype of HIV-1 was found Haiti. As Haitian professionals
were working Democratic Republic of Congo during the 1960s.
• Initially, people from Haiti were blamed for being responsible for the
HIV epidemic, and suffered severe racism, stigma and discrimination as
a result
WHAT IS HIV / AIDS?

BODY
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY?
• Attacks the immune
system’s cd4 cells.
• Body loses too many cd4
cells, you cannot fight off
infection and can develop
serious infections.
• Diagnosed with aids when
there are less than 200 cd4
cells / 21 aids-defining
infections.
SYMPTOMS OF HIV / AIDS

CONDOM EXERCISE
FEMALE CONDOM EXERCISE
FEMALE CONDOM
• Piloted in 1998, it has grown to be one of the
largest government-funded programmes
worldwide.
• In 2016 males were interviewed and 58% had said
the female condom was either better or much
better than the male condom, and by the 12-month
interview, the percentage rose to 74%

CASE STUDY
• Lebogang Motsumi was 27 when she acquired HIV from a
“sugar daddy” – a man significantly older than her who was
capable of showering her with the gifts she believed she
needed to fit in with her friends and feel more accepting of
herself. She was reluctant to use a condom because she
feared being perceived as promiscuous by men and felt she
was “not in control” of the situation when she was with her
sexual partners.
Now a mother, Motsumi says she wishes she had received
more information at home and at school about risky sexual
behaviour, and is using her experience to advocate non-
judgemental, face-to-face conversations with young people
about relationships with older men.
