HIV destroys immune system cells, transmitting through bodily fluids like semen, blood, and breast milk. While HIV is the virus, AIDS is the final stage where the immune system is severely damaged. HIV is diagnosed through blood tests detecting antibodies, while treatment aims to stop HIV multiplying and slow AIDS progression using antiretroviral drugs. Prevention methods include condom use and avoiding needle sharing.

S HIV/AIDS Kaila Chase A presentation for high school students
What is HIV? S Human Immuno-deficiency Virus S Destroys immune system cells S Transmission S Bodily fluids- semen, blood, breast milk, vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, oral sex, etc. S Signs and Symptoms S Flu-like S Acute retroviral syndrome- symptoms may not be prevalent for up to many years (The STI Files: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV))
HIV vs. AIDS S People become infected with HIV, in most circumstances they will acquire AIDS S Acquired Immuno-deficiency Syndrome S HIV is a virus, AIDS is a condition S AIDS is the final step in HIV infection (HIV Diagnosis) S There is severe damage to the immune system S Hard to repair damage of the immune cells
Diagnosis of HIV S Blood test S Screening for antibodies that are trying to fight off the infection (The STI Files: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)) S White cell counts are depleted because the infection is destroying immune cells S ELISA test- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay S Sensitive test used to detect chronic HIV infection (HIV Diagnosis)
Treatment S Main goals: S Stop HIV from destroying immune cells S Stop HIV from multiplying S Slow the progression of AIDS S Combined antiretroviral drugs S Some treatments are specialized to treat different stages of HIV S 1-3 pills daily (depends on the person and how far along is the infection) (HIV Diagnosis)
Immune System S First, our body will recognize a foreign antigen (substance unknown to the body) S Allergen, virus, bacteria, etc. S Once an antigen is located, helper T-cells (specialized immune cell) are signaled to sound the alarm for the rest of the immune system to attack S T-cells alert B-cells to make antibodies to fight off the antigen (Immune System 101)
What is happening to the body? S HIV directly infects helper T-cells S Helper T-cells are immune cells responsible for alerting other immune cells there is an antigen (foreign substance) in the body S Once the T-cells are destroyed the immune system has no way to know there is an antigen in the body S The infection will destroy T-cells and use them to replicate the virus (Immune System 101)
AIDS S Final stage in HIV infection S Not everyone who has HIV makes it to this stage S Your immune system is so badly damaged you are more likely to be infected with any other virus or disease S People do not die from HIV/AIDS, they progress to AIDS and die from a virus or disease the immune system cannot fight off S Ex: flu, pneumonia, mononucleosis, etc. (What is HIV/AIDS?)
Prevention S ALWAYS wear a condom during vaginal, anal, or oral sex S Do not share needles S No sharing of bodily fluids (blood-to-blood, vaginal or penile fluids) S HIV screenings (The STI Files: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV))
