Sex, Drugs & Scotland's Health- How do Older People talk about their Sexuality
This document discusses a review of qualitative research studies on how older people discuss their own sexuality. The review focused on studies that examined the subjective experiences of older individuals aged 60 and older regarding their attitudes, perceptions, and experiences with sexuality. The review found that older individuals often feel their sexuality is not socially legitimate and feel they are presumed asexual. They also experience social silence around sexuality, internalized inhibitions, and feel they must conceal their sexuality. While health has a major impact on sexuality in older age, many still report high sexual desire. The review concludes that wider social influences shape sexuality in older life, but more open conversations are needed to address diversity and support healthy sexuality as a human right at all ages.

The document discusses pathways into and experiences of homelessness. It finds that how one becomes homeless influences the duration and nature of their homelessness. Those who experienced domestic violence or housing crises typically had shorter periods of homelessness compared to those with substance abuse or mental health issues. Two-thirds of the sample developed substance abuse problems after becoming homeless, while three-quarters developed mental health problems post-homelessness. Exiting homelessness depended on factors like access to housing and avoiding former homeless networks.

The document summarizes the HIV situation in Macedonia, including estimated cases and demographics of those infected. It describes the formation of Stronger Together, Macedonia's first community-based organization for people living with HIV/AIDS, established in 2009-2010 in response to needs identified in a survey. Stronger Together now has 18 members and focuses on peer support, counseling, and advocacy to improve treatment availability. Challenges remain in establishing a sustainable treatment system and reducing stigma through increased public awareness and engagement.
In and Out
The document discusses pathways into homelessness and duration of homelessness. It finds that those who became homeless due to domestic violence or housing crisis generally had shorter homeless periods and tried to avoid being identified as homeless. Those with mental health or substance abuse issues tended to have longer periods of homelessness and were more likely to engage with the homeless subculture. Overall, it was found that two-thirds developed substance abuse issues after becoming homeless and three-quarters developed mental health issues after initially becoming homeless.
HIV STIGMATIZATION IN NIGERIA
1. The study aimed to examine public knowledge and attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria in order to identify factors that contribute to their stigmatization.
2. The study found that the public has misconceptions about how HIV is transmitted and blame people for becoming infected, believing they must have done something wrong. This leads to stigma in the forms of social exclusion and denial of dignity and respect.
3. The author recommends improving knowledge of HIV/AIDS through education programs to promote compassion and support for people living with the disease. Reducing stigma will help ensure they receive proper treatment and acceptance in the community.
Stigma of hiv 2
- Stigma is the most dangerous aspect of HIV/AIDS as it deters people from getting tested and treated, worsening their health and increasing transmission risk.
- Social stigma isolates HIV-positive individuals and subjects them to discrimination, rejection, and loss of jobs and education opportunities.
- This stigma stems from lack of knowledge and fear but serves to endanger public health by driving the epidemic underground rather than addressing it.

1. The study investigated the effects of pulsating electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on the THP-1 cell line, both alone and in combination with the chemotherapeutic drugs methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil.
2. Results showed that PEMF significantly decreased THP-1 cell viability compared to normal conditions, both with 24 hours of exposure and 2 hours of alternate pulses.
3. Constant exposure of THP-1 cells to PEMF in the presence of methotrexate or 5-fluorouracil drastically reduced cell protein levels and killed more cells compared to drugs alone. PEMF enhanced the effects of the chemotherapeutic drugs.
The History of the Horror Genre
The document provides an overview of the history and evolution of the horror film genre. It discusses how early horror films in the late 19th/early 20th century were inspired by Gothic literature and focused on supernatural themes. In the 1930s-40s, Universal Studios popularized horror films featuring monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Wolf Man. The 1950s saw a shift toward science fiction horrors dealing with nuclear radiation and mutation. Psychological horrors involving demons and possessions became popular in the 1970s. The genre continued to evolve and incorporate new themes in subsequent decades.

Reshaping Identity within the context of a new HIV diagnosis
This document summarizes a study on the psychosocial impacts of a new HIV diagnosis on men who have sex with men. It describes the study objectives, mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, and key findings. Participants experienced stigma, worries about disclosure to family/work, impacts on relationships, and reconciling views of HIV. They described anxieties around sex and transmission, and future optimism from treatment. The diagnosis prompted complex identity reshaping as they coped with a new HIV-positive identity.

FYC8 HIV Needs 08
This document summarizes research conducted with 33 HIV-positive individuals in Newcastle, England. It finds that stigma and social isolation are still issues. While support services are appreciated, some barriers exist including confidentiality concerns, lack of information about services, and difficulties accessing services. Next steps proposed include awareness campaigns, addressing confidentiality, developing buddy systems, and improving communication about available services.
The Aging HIV Population
1) About 33% of people living with HIV/AIDS in the US are over 50 years old, and by 2015 over 50% are projected to be over 50. Older African Americans and gay men are disproportionately affected.
2) In New York City, 75% of people with HIV/AIDS are over 40, and 38% are over 50. There are three groups of older adults with HIV - newly infected, newly diagnosed, and longtime survivors.
3) Older adults experience stigma around both HIV status and aging, which can lead to isolation, depression, and challenges accessing care. Health providers must address the long-term effects of HIV and aging.

The document discusses various options for pregnancy planning for individuals living with HIV, including timed intercourse, home or clinical insemination with partner's sperm, use of donor sperm, and assisted reproductive technologies like sperm washing and IVF. It provides guidelines from organizations like ACOG and ASRM on eligibility and treatment for fertility services. The options aim to balance reproductive desires with minimizing risks of HIV transmission to partners or children.
CFAR symposium_3.19.15
This study identified three groups along the HIV care continuum: care-engaged, care-inconsistent, and care-detached. Each group faces structural, social, and individual challenges to care engagement. Care-engaged women benefit most from supportive clinical environments and social support. Care-inconsistent women face many challenges but also have some facilitators like supportive providers and community programs. Care-detached women struggle most with HIV stigma and need institution and community support to engage in care. Understanding these multilevel factors is key to improving women's health outcomes.

Identifying a Public Health Issues

Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV) and obesity is running ramped in the state of Virginia. HIV is a virus that can lead to AIDS if it is not properly diagnosed and treated. Unlike many viruses, the human body cannot rid itself completely of the virus, even when treated with proper care (HIV, n.d.). Once a person has the virus they have it for life! It is truly a life sentence. There is no cure for the virus, only medications that allow one to be comfortable as they live with the virus. HIV attacks the body’s immune system, specifically T Cells. Overtime, the destruction of these cells causes one to not be able to fight of infection or other illnesses. Oxford Dictionary, defines obesity as, the condition of being grossly overweight (Oxford, n.d.) This can be caused by poor eating habits, thyroid complications, or lack of exercise. Each one of these issues have been brought to health care providers as a major concern for the Hamptons Roads area and the state of Virginia as a whole.
HIV effects many different communities and is not specific to any race, gender, ethnicity, and or age group. It is known to widely effect the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Queer (LGBTQ) community yet is still a problem for all people. The reason this community takes a heavy hit to the illness is due to homosexual sexual interactions, with most of the contraction rates being male to male relationships. This is a sexually transmitted disease yet it can also be
presented in one’s life through other sources, such as, birth, heterosexual relationships, and injection drug use. If sex is a part of any person life old or the risk of contracting HIV is there.
As of 2015, it said that 21,607 people are living with AIDS in Virginia (AIDSSVU, n.d.). 73.6 percent of these people were male and 26.4 percent of this population were female. If broken down by race, 58.3 percent were black, 8.8 percent were Hispanic/Latino, and about 28.4 percent were white. The rate of black men living with the disease was 5.6 times that of their white counterparts, along with women, coming in at 16.1 times higher than white females. In 2016, there were 893 new cases of persons diagnosed with AIDS (AIDSSVU, n.d.) In Virginia, the estimated percent of AIDS diagnoses within three months of initial HIV diagnosis in 2015, was 82.3 percent diagnosed with HIV and 17.7 percent diagnosed with AIDS (AIDSSVU, n.d.). In 2015, in the male transmission category of people living with diagnosed HIV, 8.1 percent contracted the virus through drug use, 11.1 percent with heterosexual contact, 74.1 percent male-to-male sexual contact, and 5.6 percent both male-to-male contact and injection drug use, with 1.1 percent through other sources. Female transmissions were 16.5 percent injection drug use, 80.5 percent heterosexual contact, and 3.0 percent through other methods.
The state if Virginia offers many programs both on.
LGBT health & Wellbeing
This document summarizes the results of a survey on LGBT health and well-being in the South West of England. It finds that the top health concerns for respondents were mental health, sexual health, and cancer. It also discusses specific issues for transgender and lesbian/gay individuals, such as difficulties accessing gender reassignment treatment and a lack of practitioner awareness. While most respondents felt treated with respect by health services, some faced disrespectful or discriminatory treatment. Respondents generally supported better monitoring of sexual orientation and gender identity to improve services and reduce assumptions.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
