This document discusses the challenges of diagnosing HIV, AIDS, and co-infections. It notes that distinguishing between HIV infection, AIDS, and co-infections can be difficult. Point-of-care rapid tests have helped increase HIV testing, though they cannot identify acute HIV infections. The document emphasizes the importance of confirming positive rapid HIV tests with supplemental tests due to the potential for false positives in low prevalence populations.

India has seen a 57% reduction in its HIV count between 2001-2011, while Bangladesh and Sri Lanka saw increases of 25%. As of 2011, an estimated 2.1 million people in India were living with HIV. India's epidemic is heterogeneous and concentrated in certain states and sub-populations. Successful prevention efforts have led international figures to praise India's HIV/AIDS prevention model. However, more work remains as even a small increase in prevalence could mean over half a million new infections. The continuum of HIV care involves testing and counseling, treatment of opportunistic infections, anti-retroviral therapy initiation and monitoring, management of co-infections, and adherence support. WHO guidelines recommend treatment for all HIV-positive individuals

This document discusses new data and ongoing controversy regarding the use of hormonal contraception by women with or at risk of HIV. It summarizes findings from systematic reviews that examined whether certain contraceptive methods increase the risk of HIV acquisition, transmission, or disease progression. For HIV-negative women, data do not suggest oral contraceptives increase HIV risk, while evidence for injectables is more limited. For HIV-positive women, studies generally found hormonal contraception does not accelerate disease progression. Evidence on transmission risk is limited and inconsistent. The document concludes that further research is still needed to clarify HIV risks related to certain contraceptive methods.

The UC San Diego AntiViral Research Center sponsors weekly presentations on infectious diseases research and clinical practices. A presentation on whether widespread HIV treatment can end transmission discussed recent trends showing HIV declining among adolescents and young adults in the US. The presentation reviewed research showing that early HIV treatment dramatically reduces heterosexual transmission but some transmission may still occur through anal sex among men who have sex with men on antiretroviral therapy. Future interventions could focus on optimizing HIV treatment, comparing antiretroviral regimens, and suppressing coinfections like CMV to further reduce HIV transmission.

This document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including how it is transmitted and prevented. It defines HIV as the virus that compromises the immune system, and AIDS as the final stage when the immune system is severely damaged. Some key statistics are presented, such as over 1.7 million people in the US being infected since 1981, with 1 in 5 unaware. Common symptoms during HIV emergence from latency are also listed. The document stresses that while there is no cure for HIV, antiretroviral drugs can suppress it and transmission is preventable through condom use and clean needles.
The document summarizes HIV engagement in care data for Philadelphia and nationally. It finds that in Philadelphia in 2009, 82% of people living with HIV were aware of their infection, 62% were linked to care, 52% were retained in care, 46% were prescribed antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 30% had viral suppression. Nationally, the rates were slightly higher. The epidemic in Philadelphia primarily affects minorities and transmission is mostly through men who have sex with men and heterosexual contact. While new AIDS cases have declined 25%, growing numbers are living with HIV. Around 20-30% have unmet needs and are not engaged in regular HIV care.
Dr. Kathleen Brady of Philadelphia's AIDS Activities Coordinating Office (AACO) gave this presentation at the January 9, 2013 Comprehensive Planning Committee meeting.
This document introduces a new Health System Navigator program in Philadelphia aimed at improving linkage to and retention in HIV care. It notes challenges with late diagnosis, linkage to care, and patient retention. Health System Navigators will help HIV-positive patients navigate health systems and address barriers to staying engaged in care. Navigators will work with newly diagnosed patients, those lost to care, and those loosely engaged to improve testing, linkage, and retention through individual support and system navigation. The program is a collaboration between ActionAIDS and Philadelphia health centers.
This report provides an analysis of HIV and STI surveillance data from Papua New Guinea in 2012. Key findings include:
- A total of 200,711 HIV tests were conducted, of which 4,723 (2.35%) were positive. Testing was higher among females.
- Nine provinces had HIV positivity rates above 1% among antenatal clients, with the highest in Enga (6.12%), Western Highlands (4.28%), and National Capital District (4.14%).
- 2,857 new HIV-positive cases were reported nationally. Most cases originated from and resided in provinces in the Highlands and Southern regions, particularly Enga, Southern Highlands, and Eastern
Where are we on HIV testing services - the achievements and the gapsCheryl Johnson
This document discusses achievements and gaps in HIV testing services globally. It finds that approximately 17 million people with HIV still do not know their status, and linkage to treatment after testing is suboptimal. While over 150 million people received HIV testing in 2014, nearly half of all people with HIV remain undiagnosed globally, with lower testing rates among men, adolescents, and key populations. The document calls for new approaches to testing like self-testing and lay providers, as well as improving quality, coverage, and focus on missing populations and areas with ongoing high risk.
This document provides an overview of an HIV update presentation given by Dr. Ellen Tedaldi. It discusses the epidemiology of HIV in Philadelphia, noting higher rates than national averages and most new infections occurring in heterosexuals aged 25-45. It covers screening and diagnosis guidelines, evaluation of HIV+ patients, treatment updates including the benefits of early antiretroviral therapy initiation, and ophthalmology considerations for patients with low CD4 counts. Key aspects of monitoring and management of HIV patients are summarized, including recommended initial antiretroviral regimens and the importance of adherence for long-term treatment success.
1) There are an estimated 6,450 people living with HIV in Scotland, with 4900 diagnosed and 1550 undiagnosed. HIV transmission continues to occur, and late diagnosis remains a problem.
2) The majority of those diagnosed access specialist care and treatment, with over 80% in care and over 85% receiving treatment. However, ongoing efforts are needed to address late diagnosis and optimize treatment outcomes.
3) While new pediatric HIV infections are rare in Scotland, consisting mainly of imported cases, ongoing monitoring is needed as those infected may have lived with HIV for decades and the cohort is aging.

The document discusses using HIV program data to evaluate gaps and disparities in linkage to care. It provides examples of how Louisiana measures linkage, retention, and viral suppression, and presents continuum of care data for the state overall and by region, race/ethnicity, and testing site. Linkage to care rates for newly diagnosed individuals are shown to be improving over time but still vary between regions and community-based organizations. The document encourages evaluating one's own agency's linkage data and identifying opportunities for the State HIV Program to provide more useful data support.

Linkage to care rates for newly diagnosed individuals are shown to be improving over time but still lag the national goal of 85% linked within 90 days. Community-based organizations see variation in their linkage rates that could be improved. The presentation raises questions about how agencies evaluate their own linkage efforts and ways state assistance could strengthen local data collection and use.
This document summarizes key information about HIV in the United States:
- Over 1.1 million people are living with HIV in the US, with about 56,000 new infections each year. Rates are highest among men who have sex with men, African Americans, Latinos, and intravenous drug users.
- Effective prevention strategies include promoting abstinence, fewer partners, condom use, not sharing needles, antiretroviral treatment, male circumcision, and pre-exposure prophylaxis. Widespread testing is also an important prevention approach.
- Combining multiple prevention approaches and targeting high-risk groups can maximize the impact of HIV prevention and reduce transmission rates in the US.

Reaching the Millennial Generation about HIV/AIDSYTH
What do young people see as the barriers and motivators to HIV prevention and treatment today? The Kaiser Family Foundation's (KFF) 2017 National Survey of Young Adults on HIV/AIDS reveals that stigma persists, there are significant gaps in knowledge, and many are unaware of the latest tools available. However, social media campaigns can help inform, change attitudes, and engage youth advocates in the movement to end HIV. Greater Than AIDS (GTA), a public information resource from KFF, develops campaigns that educate, empower, and motivate youth into action. Frequently featuring community ambassadors, GTA's resources reach priority populations through tailored messaging that answers common questions about HIV basics, testing, PrEP, and treatment. Attendees in this session will gain nuanced insight into the HIV information needs of today's youth, and explore how to engage and empower them in HIV prevention strategies.
This document provides data and statistics on HIV/AIDS in the Philippines from 1990-2021. It summarizes estimated numbers of people living with HIV, new HIV infections, AIDS-related deaths, and people receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) over time. Key facts presented include HIV prevalence among key populations like sex workers, men who have sex with men, and transgender people. Statistics on domestic and international AIDS spending by category and financing source are also shown.
The 2007 AIDS Epidemic Update from UNAIDS and WHO provides revised estimates of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic due to improvements in estimation methodologies. Key findings include:
- The estimated number of people living with HIV decreased 16% to 33.2 million, largely due to changes in India's estimates.
- Global HIV prevalence has stabilized at around 0.8% since 2001, though localized declines are occurring in some countries.
- Estimated new HIV infections in 2007 were 2.5 million, declining from a peak of over 3 million in the late 1990s likely due to prevention efforts.
- AIDS deaths in 2007 were estimated at 2.1 million, showing declines in recent years partly
Although HIV is preventable through effective public health measures, significant HIV transmission continues in Europe.

This presentation was provided to the Philadelphia EMA HIV Integrated Planning Council by Briana Morgan of the Office of HIV Planning. It includes data related to population-level data, race/ethnicity, STIs, risk behaviors, HIV, and more.
This document summarizes disparities in Philadelphia's HIV continuum of care. It identifies several priority populations that experience lower rates of HIV status awareness, retention in medical care, and viral load suppression. These include racial/ethnic minority youth, transgender persons who have sex with men, heterosexual men of color, and persons who inject drugs. The document also finds geographic disparities, with lower continuum measures in collar counties surrounding Philadelphia. It concludes by recommending several areas for action to decrease disparities, such as increasing PrEP access, HIV testing, and linkage to and retention in medical care.

The document summarizes a report by the Mayor's Task Force to Combat the Opioid Epidemic in Philadelphia. It finds that prescription opioid sales doubled from 2000-2012, fueling high rates of opioid use, overdoses, and deaths. The Task Force made recommendations in areas of prevention, treatment, overdose prevention, and criminal justice system involvement. Key recommendations included expanding access to medication-assisted treatment, naloxone distribution, and treatment services in prisons. The report calls for increased monitoring and evaluation to assess progress combating the epidemic.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but the heat and humidity can also wreak havoc on your skin. From itchy rashes to unwanted pigmentation, several skin conditions become more prevalent during these warmer months.
