ABCD

ABCD method of prevention by Mbuthia.
The method has been advocated for as the best means for preventing and controlling HIV infections.
The A-Abstinence
This is refraining totally from sexual intercourse which is considered the best way to prevent transmission of HIV.
Abstinence means not engaging in any sexual activity in which there is direct or theoretical risk of exposure to blood semen and vaginal fluid
B-Be faithful.
It should include two partners who have tested negative they should enter into strictly monogomous relationship .It only works if both partners are known to be uninfected when their sexual relationship begins neither partner had sex even one time outside the primary relationship
C-Condom use during intercourse can greatly reduce chances of acquiring or transmitting HIV and STD.
Although the latest generation consider going 'meat for meat' they should be aware of the risks involved hence should consistently use a condom after every intercourse and the following ways should be considered
1) never use the same condom
2)putting a condom as soon as erection occurs but before any contact is made between the penis and any part of your partners body
3)leave a space at the tip
4)Adequate lubrication
5)withdraw immediately after ejaculation
6)and most important is to check date,consider the different favours that will not cause irritation.
Condom is not considered safest method due to its weaknesses like leaking,slipping inside woman's body which exposes both partners to the virus
Female condoms are worn inside the vagina which can be inserted into vagina upto 8 hrs before the intercourse.
When wearing  condoms they should direct the penis into the female condom so that it finds its way in the vagina
D-Destigmatisation
Stigma is an act of identifying labelling or attributing undesirable qualities targeted towards those who are perceived as shamefully different from society thus talking freely about AIDS and create awareness.
Remove stigma such that infected people are not neglected
The infected should not be seen as irresponsible or very bad people

    Using condom correctly every time for every intercourse
    act reduces transmission of hiv and aids greatly but
    does not completely eliminate the risk of transmitting
    H I V infection.

    Abstinance in a good choice,if in a relationship then being faithful is best. Using condoms is helpful in reducing chances of getting infected with HIV. It's up to an individual to choose what's best for him/her.

    In order for condoms to be effective, you have to use a new one correctly every single time you have sex. That means putting on a condom before there’s any skin-to-skin genital contact, and keeping it on until you’re done having sex. If you only use condoms sometimes, or put them on halfway through sex, they won’t work as well. Having a supply of condoms and making sure they’re close by before you get busy can help you remember to use them.

    Actually ABCD can be preferred as a best way to reduce the transmission of HIV.,,,but among the ABCD,abstainence is the best way to prevent HIV,use of condoms can only prevent 90% of HIV transmission but is good for the single partners to totally abstain.For the married should practice faithfullness among themselves.by christine

    Actually de-stigmatization is a very important step for each individual in the society, this will help other members of the the society to associate freely with the HIV infected people thereby making them live a comfortable life.

    ABC remains to be the best strategy of preventing HIV infection though the use of condoms is not 100% reliable. ABC can also be an adaptable framework for STD infection.

    Married couple who are hiv negative, should always be faithful to each other, then for the single ones they should abstain, no one has ever died due to lack of sex, or better use condom if they have to involve themselves in sexual activities.

    Even though use of condoms is helpful interns of prevention, we should just be extra cearfull in every sexual contact with our partners because we take the esue of HIV so simple. If one does not abstain from the infection then be faithful to your partner in oder to decrease the spread of HIV.

    In the ABC method most pple cannot avoid and abstain from sexual behaviours thus they tend to go for the C method which is using condoms. The best way to avoid contracting hiv is by abstaining from any sort of sexual behaviour

TYPES OF HIV TEST

1.Antibody tests The most common HIV test is an antibody test. Antibodies are part of your immune system that are produced when you come into contact with an infection. Antibody tests look for this immune response. These tests can be finger-prick tests or use blood samples sent to a laboratory. If this result is negative or non-reactive, then you are HIV negative. If the result is positive this does not mean that you definitely have HIV, although it is likely. A small percentage of people can have a ‘false-positive’ result. All positive results need to be confirmed by a second test. In the UK a more sensitive antibody test called a western blot test is usually used to confirm a positive result. The western blot test takes longer (usually a week). It identifies genuine positive results. HIV antibody tests do not work as soon as you are infected because it usually takes four weeks for your body to generate antibodies to HIV. The time between infection and when your body ...

It is a central to many African conceptions of illness, disease causation and etiology. It varies culturally depending with the society. In many countries especially African countries people belief that HIV/AIDS is a spell that is cursed on a person through witchcraft.since an HIV/AIDS infected person may show signs like diarrhea and loss of weight which are classic symptoms of poisoning through witchcraft, suspicion of is retained as potential explanation for the ultimate reason behind the infection. The infected person would then consulte a witchdoctor for medication thus leading to more deaths since they can not find proper medication to prolong their lives.Men and women who believe HIV/AIDS is spread through witchcraft are less likely to use protection (condoms) during sexual intercourse.   ...

DRUG ABUSE CONTRIBUTION TO HIV/AIDS SPREAD

DRUG ABUSE CONTRIBUTION TO HIV /AIDS SPREAD Drug abuse is the over or under use  of any substance that alternates the normal functioning of the body. Drug abuse has been a great contributor to the spread  of HIV/AIDS. Do drugs contribute to the Spread  of HIV and how? It  increases the likely hood  of users to engage in high-risk  sexual practice   with infected individuals. Drug abuse also interferes with  effectiveness  of HIV treatment. Addicts may engage in sexually risky behaviors to obtain drugs or money for drugs. Sharing of needles while doing  drugs also exposes users to  infection since no one really  bothers about  the status of the other drug user. Abuse of substance      increases cancer risk ( ie)  most HIV patients  are smokers hence increased  incidence of lung cancer shortening the lifespan of the patient . Research shows that drug abuse causes greater  injury to...
