Don't myth the facts on hiv ORNAC Conference 2013
What are the chances that you will get HIV from a needle stick injury and does it actually matter? Do you feel more comfortable knowing that your patient is HIV negative? Your values and professional ethics related to HIV impact your professional and personal life; it should not impact the care you give to your patients. Wise practices in perioperative clinical practice needs to recognize that HIV is a chronic illness with patients living longer lives and requiring care that includes surgery. The law regarding HIV in Canada is unique. Ethical treatment of positive patients is a requirement of professional nursing practice. Myths can lead to stigma, discrimination, and negative patient outcomes. The facts on HIV support best practices for perioperative nursing. We will explore consent, testing, attitudes and values and look at research on circumcision, transplant, double gloving and how needle exchange programs impact you and your patients.

Bloodborne Pathogens
The document discusses bloodborne pathogens and safety protocols for employees of Chesapeake Medical Staffing. It covers mandatory training on bloodborne pathogens, personal protective equipment (gloves, gowns, masks, etc.), standard precautions to treat all blood and body fluids as infectious, and procedures for exposure incidents. The two main bloodborne pathogens discussed are hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), along with their transmission routes and related safety practices.
A new options for hiv prevention slides.2013
This document discusses new options for HIV prevention through the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Observational studies and the HPTN 052 clinical trial showed that ART can significantly decrease the risk of transmitting HIV, with a 96% reduction in risk seen in the HPTN 052 trial. However, real-world adherence to lifelong ART may be challenging and is not as high as was achieved in HPTN 052 through intensive support strategies. U.S. guidelines now recommend ART for all HIV-infected individuals, but limitations remain regarding how well ART prevents transmission through different risk behaviors or in situations where adherence is imperfect.
Bloodborne Pathogens Training by Bowling Green State University
This document discusses bloodborne pathogens and occupational exposure. It defines bloodborne pathogens as pathogenic organisms present in human blood that can cause disease. The three major bloodborne pathogens are HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. The document outlines the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard which requires employers to implement exposure control plans, engineering controls, personal protective equipment, training, vaccination, and other measures to protect employees from exposure to bloodborne pathogens. It provides information about each bloodborne disease, symptoms, treatment, and prevention through vaccination. The goal of the standard is to prevent occupational transmission of bloodborne infections like HIV and hepatitis.
Aids
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It weakens a person's immune system by destroying white blood cells, making the body vulnerable to other infections and diseases. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex, sharing needles, unsafe blood transfusions, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. While some people experience flu-like symptoms shortly after infection, many live asymptomatic for years before developing AIDS. There is no vaccine or cure for HIV/AIDS, so prevention through safe sex practices and access to treatment are important.
Legal Aspects of HIV
This document summarizes a clinical case involving a 29-year-old homeless man presenting with shortness of breath, coughing up blood, and weight loss. Examination and tests revealed cavitating lesions in his lungs suggestive of tuberculosis, and a positive HIV test. He was started on anti-tuberculosis treatment and referred to sexual health clinic given his HIV diagnosis. The document then discusses legal issues around confidentiality, disclosure obligations for healthcare professionals, and cases establishing higher disclosure standards for those with infectious diseases like HIV.
National HIV testing and treatment guidelines
1. The document provides guidelines for HIV testing, treatment, and management in Nepal. It summarizes global HIV statistics and outlines the epidemiology of HIV in Nepal.
2. Guidelines are provided for HIV testing services, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring of people on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and management of coinfections. Recommendations include "treat all" and early infant diagnosis.
3. Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), ART for prevention, post-exposure prophylaxis, and combination prevention are discussed. Clinical features and management of pediatric HIV are also reviewed.
Hiv prevention
The document discusses HIV, AIDS, and voluntary confidential counseling and testing (VCCT). It defines HIV as the virus that causes AIDS. Having HIV increases the risk of developing AIDS. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection defined by specific symptoms. VCCT provides counseling to help clients understand their HIV status and make informed decisions. It aims to support prevention and referral to care. VCCT is an important entry point to HIV/AIDS services like medical care, psychosocial support, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission.

The first cases of COVID-19 pandemic were identified in people with pneumonia in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019. It is first and foremost the most publicized pandemic, which has taken the lives of many people. It has thrown everyone into doubt and has created a collective moment of contemplation about the future. The clinical enlistment organization MedWorld of New Zealand offered for resigned and low maintenance specialists to help endeavors by the health care division and Government to battle the spread of COVID-19, in New Zealand. ( ) Starting in April, more than 20,000 tests have been done in Iraq in general (counting the Kurdistan Region), with 1202 of them turning out positive. Of those tests, half of the,m were finished by the Kurdish Ministry of Health, which implies that the other tests were finished by the Iraqi Ministry of Health. ( ) While KRG populace has been tried, just 0.05% of the remainder of the nation has been tried, along these lines featuring the conceivable difference between absolute positive case numbers between locales. Iraq is considered "particularly powerless against the plague due to being desolated" – by war and United Nations sanctions, and by partisan clash in the course of recent decades.
This paper primarily focuses on analyzing the accessible information through research papers, peer- reviewed and non-peer reviewed to understand the pandemic affecting two different countries like New Zealand- a developed country and Iraq- a developing country.
HIV-AIDS-Prevention & Control
National AIDS Control Program has achieved a tremendously since its inception in 1992 under name of National AIDS Control Organisation.
Hepatitis C & HIV Co-Infection
Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus. It is transmitted through exposure to infected blood, most commonly through sharing needles or other drug use equipment. Only about one-third of people show symptoms during initial infection, which may include fatigue, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Most people go on to develop chronic hepatitis C infection without symptoms for many years. Advanced liver disease from hepatitis C may lead to complications like jaundice, ascites, bleeding, and liver cancer. Co-infection with HIV increases the challenges of diagnosing and treating hepatitis C.
HCV
This document provides a guide for people living with both HIV and hepatitis C (HCV). It addresses common questions about HCV, including how serious it is, how common coinfection with HIV and HCV is, and what steps someone should take after receiving an HCV diagnosis. The guide emphasizes that HCV and HIV can usually be treated, and encourages people to take time to process a new diagnosis before making decisions about next steps. It also provides information on HCV transmission and testing recommendations for other types of hepatitis.
Aids Powerpoint
HIV attacks and destroys CD4 cells, weakening the immune system and making one susceptible to infections and illnesses over time. If left untreated, HIV develops into AIDS, which is the final stage where the CD4 count is very low and one's ability to fight infection is lost. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral therapy can control the virus and help those infected live longer if medications are taken as prescribed.

Aids 2
HIV/AIDS is a global issue that affects both more and less economically developed countries. It is transmitted through bodily fluids and weakens the immune system, leaving those infected vulnerable to other diseases. While treatments can prolong life for some, there is no vaccine or cure. Prevention through awareness, testing, and safe practices is crucial to controlling the spread and impact of the virus.
Who hiv 2012.29_eng
This document provides background information on a WHO consultation regarding guidance on viral hepatitis prevention, surveillance, and treatment. It summarizes statistics on hepatitis B and C infections globally and among people who inject drugs. It also describes the negative impact of HIV co-infection on hepatitis disease progression. To inform the guidance, interviews were conducted with community members and healthcare providers affected by or working on viral hepatitis across various world regions. Their perspectives will provide insights into the individual challenges faced by those impacted by the guidance.
Bbppowerpoint.ppt
The document discusses the OSHA bloodborne pathogens standard for schools. It defines bloodborne pathogens as disease-causing microorganisms that may be present in human blood or other potentially infectious materials. The standard is meant to minimize risks of exposure to blood or body fluids and requires training, vaccination, universal precautions, and personal protective equipment. It also provides information about specific bloodborne diseases like HIV and HBV, their transmission, symptoms, and prevention methods.
Health pyschology research presentation
). The BPS looks at how physical and mental health are influenced by interacting biological, psychological (thoughts, emotions, and behavior) and social (socio-economic and cultural) factors. The BPS model was proposed by Engel (1981) contrary to the dominant biomedical model (BM) that states that illness can be attributed to some deviation from the normal state due to an external agent like a virus or injury or due to genetic or developmental abnormality. The BM model cannot make provision for the person as a whole or from a psychological or social nature (Engel, 1977). The biological factors of etiology, incidence, transmission, and prevention by immunization and the need for vaccinating HCWs to prevent the spread of the virus and the causes for low rates of immunization are presented. The psychological analysis looks at motivation, risk perceptions and altruistic behaviors that affect immunization of HCWs. The methods used to encourage HCWs uptake of flu vaccines and the need for mandatory immunization policies are discussed. Finally, the social and ethical issues regarding mandatory immunization policies are put in perspective
E R Pep Sept 2009
The document provides guidelines for managing occupational exposures to HIV, including recommendations for postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). It outlines when PEP is indicated, how to initiate it within 36 hours of exposure, and selecting an appropriate drug regimen for 4 weeks. It also discusses evaluating the exposed individual within 72 hours and considering source patient testing to help determine if PEP should continue or be discontinued.
Occupatinal expolure to hiv dr. rabi
Occupational exposure to HIV poses a risk to healthcare workers who come into contact with HIV-infected blood and fluids. The risk of transmission is relatively low but can be reduced through universal precautions and prompt treatment after exposure. Postexposure prophylaxis involving antiretroviral drugs is recommended depending on the type and severity of exposure. Common side effects of PEP can cause discontinuation so monitoring is important. Exposed workers should receive counseling and follow-up testing to promptly diagnose any potential infection.

Occupational health & infection control
This document discusses occupational health and infection control as it relates to preventing blood-borne virus infections in healthcare settings. It defines occupational health and outlines its key services like risk assessment and medical examinations. Healthcare workers are at risk of exposure to various occupational hazards including microbiological ones. The role of occupational health includes microbial risk assessment, control through education and policies, and managing exposed or infected workers. The document focuses on preventing exposure to and transmission of blood-borne viruses like HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C through vaccination, post-exposure prophylaxis, safe practices, and managing infected healthcare workers and their work duties.
Occupational
This document summarizes occupational exposures and guidelines for prevention of bloodborne pathogens. It reports that 46.7% of sharp injuries at one hospital were to nursing staff. For HBV, the risk of infection from a sharp exposure to HBsAg-positive blood is 22-31% without vaccination. All healthcare workers should receive the hepatitis B vaccine series. For HCV, the risk of infection from a mucous membrane exposure to an HCV-positive source is 1.8%. For HIV, the risk of infection from a percutaneous exposure to an HIV-positive source is 0.3-0.5%. The document provides post-exposure prophylaxis guidelines for each bloodborne pathogen. It also addresses tuberculosis and varicella
Workplace safety infection control
Infection is caused by pathogens ('bugs') such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi getting into or onto the body.
It can take some time before the microbes multiply enough to trigger symptoms of illness, which means an infected person may unwittingly be spreading the disease during this incubation period.
Infection control in the workplace aims to prevent pathogens from coming into contact with a person in the first place.
Employers are obliged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (2004) to provide a safe workplace for their employees, including the provision of adequate infection control procedures and the right equipment and training.

Occupational Asthma
Occupational asthma can be caused by sensitizers or irritants. Sensitizer-induced occupational asthma involves immunological mechanisms like IgE, while irritant-induced occupational asthma involves non-immunological mechanisms like epithelial injury. Diagnosis involves assessing exposure history, objective testing like spirometry and specific inhalation challenges, and ruling out other conditions. Management focuses on complete avoidance of causal agents, though medications, protective devices, immunotherapy, and lowering exposure may also help in some cases.

juvenile HIV cases-- RESEARCH
HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and can develop into AIDS if untreated. It is most commonly transmitted through unprotected sex or sharing drug needles. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can suppress the virus. Juvenile HIV cases are growing due to lack of knowledge about prevention, risky sexual behaviors, and substance abuse. Biological and structural factors like poverty and lack of access to healthcare also contribute to rising infections among youth. Improving sex education, access to testing and treatment, and addressing social determinants could help curb the fast growth of HIV among teenagers.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumours. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk. This transmission can involve anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, breast feeding or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.
Genetic research indicates that HIV originated in west-central Africa during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. AIDS was first recognized by the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified in the early 1980s. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV can slow the course of the disease, there is no known cure or vaccine. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but these drugs are expensive and routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available in all countries. Due to the difficulty in treating HIV infection, preventing infection is a key aim in controlling the AIDS pandemic, with health organizations promoting safe sex and needle-exchange programmes in attempts to slow the spread of the virus.
In the beginning, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control (CDC) did not have an official name for the disease, often referring to it by way of the diseases that were associated with it, for example, lymphadenopathy, the disease after which the discoverers of HIV originally named the virus. The earliest known positive identification of the HIV-1 virus comes from the Congo in 1959 and 1960 though genetic studies indicate that it passed into the human population from chimpanzees around fifty years earlier.
The HIV virus descends from the related simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), which infects apes and monkeys in Africa. There is evidence that humans who participate in bush meat activities, commonly acquire SIV. To explain why HIV became epidemic, there are several theories, each invoking specific driving factors that may have promoted SIV, rapid transmission of SIV through unsterile injections, colonial abuses and unsafe smallpox vaccinations or prostitution and the concomitant high frequency of genital ulcer diseases (such as syphilis) in nascent colonial cities.
Aids project
Kaisar Ali Molla, a class 12 student, conducted a biology project on Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) under the guidance of his teacher Ms. Laxmi Rai. The project discusses the causes of AIDS, its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. It details how HIV attacks and weakens the immune system, making one vulnerable to opportunistic infections. While there is no cure for AIDS, early testing and treatment can slow its progression and increase quality of life. The student concludes that ignorance and lack of knowledge are major factors fueling the spread of this disease.
Hiv mapo
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS by weakening a person's immune system. It is transmitted via bodily fluids from sexual contact, contaminated needles, or from mother to child. While some people show no early symptoms, others experience a brief flu-like illness within weeks. Over time, HIV destroys immune cells called CD4 cells, leaving the body vulnerable to infections and cancers that define AIDS. Antiretroviral treatment can suppress HIV and prolong life, but does not cure it. Risk is reduced by condom use, treatment of STDs, male circumcision, and use of sterile needles by drug users.
Essay On Aids Awareness
The document discusses the level of awareness and practices regarding HIV/AIDS prevention among male adolescents and young adults in Cavite, Philippines. It notes that adolescents have limited access to facts about HIV and many believe they are immune. While risky behaviors are increasing, few high-risk youth have been tested for HIV. More initiatives are needed to educate young people and address the growing threat of HIV infection in this vulnerable population.
Hiv 101 2011 latest edition
The document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including its history, epidemiology, transmission, testing, prevention, and treatment. It discusses how HIV was first identified in 1981 and attacks the immune system. The highest rates of HIV infections are in Africa. HIV is primarily spread through unprotected sex and sharing needles. Testing involves antibody and viral load tests. Prevention methods include abstinence, condoms, needle exchange programs, and PrEP. Treatment involves combinations of antiretroviral drugs that suppress the virus.
Hiv
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is a virus that infects and damages cells of the immune system. When the immune system is severely damaged by HIV, the final stage of HIV infection is called AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). AIDS leaves the body unable to fight life-threatening infections and diseases. There are various ways HIV can be transmitted, including through unprotected sexual intercourse, contact with infected blood, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. While there is currently no vaccine for HIV, prevention efforts focus on safer sex practices and access to clean needles to reduce transmission rates.
Lecture 14 hiv aids
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Scientists believe HIV originated from chimpanzees in West Africa and was transmitted to humans through contact with their infected blood. The three most common ways HIV is spread are through unprotected sex, sharing needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Less common ways of transmission include occupational needle sticks or transplants involving infected blood. Three main ways to prevent spread are getting tested and treated if positive, using condoms correctly, and not sharing needles for drug use.

Hiv Essay
The document discusses the potential benefits of introducing at-home HIV testing kits in Indonesia. It notes that Indonesia has a rapidly growing HIV epidemic, with over 500,000 new infections projected in 2014 if prevention programs are not accelerated. Currently, HIV testing is only available at hospitals through voluntary counseling and testing clinics, requiring patients to visit. At-home testing kits could increase access to testing by allowing people to test at home privately. However, there are also concerns about the accuracy of at-home tests and the lack of in-person counseling that occurs with clinic-based testing. Studies have found that telephone counseling provided with at-home kits can be an effective alternative to in-person counseling.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
