SOCIAL IMPACT OF HIV

Social impacts of HIV on the society
This is a threat to social and economic development
1.Human Development Index

human development index is the measure of development based on socio-economic indicators  It has also continued to diminish the chances of alleviating poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child and maternal mortality, and ensuring environmental sustainability.

2.Households and Families

They range from
increased medical costs and expenditures
on funerals to withdrawal of family members from work or school to look
after those who are ill.  families spent less
on entertainment and on children’s education to cope with rising care, support and
treatment costs due high cost of hiv disease treatment

3.Education
AIDS also reduces the amount of money available for school fees, and forces an increasing number of dropouts teachers infected by the disease lead to low level of education since they wont be able to teach well
4.Labour
The Labour supplied will be low because of the loss of skilled workers who die of HIV/AIDS The disease will also lead to increase in absenteeism and the entry into the labour market of less experienced young people and older persons who have not worked before.

    HIV has led to a huge number of students dropping out of school and losing hope in their academic life .
    It has led to family using all their resources and wealth so as to cater for the infected.

    HIV has led to family separation where children are taken to their relatives to be taken care of.some have ended up dropping out of school so that they can take care of their affected parents.
    It has also led to financial constraints hence rendering some families poor since taking care of the affected is expensive.

    HIV has proven a big blow to the economy since skilled individuals are losing their lives because of this illness
    Youth who are yet to pursue good careers have had their lives short-lived. Households struggle to pull finances to help their affected family member rendering them poor
    HIV has caused a lot of harm to the society

    Living with HIV or AIDS can be distressing without positive social support from the families/households . People living with this medical condition who experience discrimination might begin to feel hopeless, experience depression, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts or feelings of worthlessness.

    HIV leads to decline in education.this is simply because,students both infected and affected will= not yield much in education simply because;their parents paying for their fees are dead leading to them getting out of school.others may continue with the studies but affected with stress hence low performance.

    It hasn't been easy for the people living with HIV neither for their relatives and friends years ago when people were unaware of AIDS .the infected were treated like issolates even in the hospital where they should be taken care of .hence there was labour reduction since no one would employ an infected person in education institutions pupils and student's were discriminated therefore the rate of school dropout was very high putting the future of nations in to risk

    Having HIV and aids will lead to decline in education because if your family know your status as positive they will get surprised hence they can't have hope to support your financial and your education background as well

    Hiv can also have an effect on relationship between family members The ability of hiv positive parents & caregiver to care their children is also impaired as poverty induced by hiv increases the risk of illness among children.

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 ...

WITCHCRAFT AND HIV

Myth is a widely held but false idea or belief,on the other hand witchcraft is the practice of and belief in magical skills and abilities exercised by solitary practitioners.

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...
