My Understanding of HIV / AIDS
• HIV stands for Human
Immunodeficinency Virus;it directly
attacks and weakens the human
immune system which leads to AIDS

AIDS stands for Acquired Immune


Deficiency Syndrome ,
It is not deadly as such but weakens
the immune system so significantly
that a person suffering from AIDS
can easily die from the common cold
which has a less than 0.1% chance
of death in healthy adults
HIV/AIDS Prevalence in India
• According to the World Bank:
• The HIV epidemic in India is concentrated among vulnerable
populations.
• High-risk factors include unprotected sex between sex workers
and clients, and injecting drug use with contaminated equipment.
•
Key groups with high and rising HIV prevalence rates include sex
workers and drug users.
• India's National AIDS Control Organization (NACO states that the
majority of HIV infections result from unprotected heterosexual
intercourse.
Prevention of HIV/AIDS
• Get tested for HIV
• Choose less risky sexual
behaviors.
• Use condoms every time you
have sex.
• Limit your number of sexual
partners
• Get tested and treated for STDs
• Talk to your health care provider
about pre-exposure prophylaxis
(PrEP)
• Do not inject drugs
Consequences of HIV/AIDS
• (i) Health Decline: HIV weakens immunity, leading to
increased vulnerability to infections.

• (ii) Social Stigma: HIV/AIDS sufferers face discrimination,


worsening the emotional impact.

• (iii) Orphanhood: AIDS-related parental loss contributes to a


rising number of orphaned children, straining social systems.

• (iv) Economic Impact: HIV/AIDS hampers workforce


productivity, imposing a significant economic burden.

• (v) Mental Health: Battling stigma and the virus's effects can
lead to mental health challenges like depression and anxiety.
Negative Effects of Addiction
1. Correlation with HIV/AIDS:
• Substance abuse is strongly linked to the spread of HIV/AIDS.
• Risky behaviors associated with addiction increase susceptibility to
infection
2. Impact on Youth:
• Addiction negatively affects the youth demographic.
• Impaired judgment from substance abuse escalates risky behaviors
among young individuals
3. Family Strain:
• Substance abuse strains family dynamics.
• Interpersonal relationships suffer due to the disruptive effects of
addiction.
4. Societal Consequences:
• Addiction contributes to societal issues.
• The spread of HIV/AIDS is exacerbated by substance abuse, impacting
the broader community.

Global Perspectives on HIV/AIDS
• UNAIDS is leading a process for the development of updated
HIV targets and estimates of the resources needed for the
global AIDS response up to 2030.
• The outputs from the process will guide the global AIDS
response from 2021 to 2030 by informing the decision-making
of major global partners and national target-setting and
strategic planning.
• The target-setting process was launched in mid-2018 and will
last until mid-2021.

• Technical inputs are being made through six consultative


thematic groups on: testing and treatment; primary
prevention; social enablers; costs and resources; integration;
and longer-term technologies.
Red Ribbon Club
