CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASE

2. OBJECTIVES
To learn the basics of HIV / AIDS
To understand how can we control
and protect ourselves from the
spread of HIV

3. Venereal
Disease

Transmitted
Disease
Sexually
Transmitted
Infection

4. Virus
(Retrovirus RNA)
that attacks and
destroys the body’s
IMMUNE SYSTEM

5. HIV is different in structure form
other Retrovirus. The HIV viron
is 100nmin diameter. Its
innermost region consists of a
cone-shaped corethat includes
two copies of the ssRNA
(positive sense) genome, the
enzyme reverse transcriptase,
integraseand protease, some
minor proteins and the major
core protein.

6. •HIV infects the T-cell of the immune system and results
in an infection with a long incubation period (10 yrs)
•AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection; a disease in
which the immune system breaks down and is severely
damaged and has difficulty fighting the disease.
•People who have AIDS are likely to develop serious
infections such as opportunistic infections
•People infected with HIV progresses to AIDS when their
viral load increases and CD4 count fall below 200 or
they experience an AIDS-defining complication

be determined
through HIV
antibody testing

testing (PICT) –a situation where
doctors encourage patients to
undergo testing
♦Voluntary counseling & testing
(VCT) –individuals willing to
undergo testing of their own free
will

voluntary, confidential,
and must be accompanied
by pre-and post-test
counselling

30. Pre-test counselling
Screening Test
HIV antigen Test
HIV Screening Laboratory
Post-test counselling
Confirmatory
Test (if positive)
-Western Blot or Immunoblot

31. RAPID TESTS WESTERN BLOT (Confirmatory Test)
“Gold Standard Test for HIV”

32. What if I
test
positive?

33. Seek early medical treatment
Adopt a healthy lifestyle and positive

Regular blood test to determine CD4
count and viral load –lab tests
Adherence toanti-retroviral drugs
Treatment of opportunistic infections
