What you should know about AIDS and HIV

What is AIDS?

AIDS is the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome- a serious illness which makes the body unable to fight infection. A person with AIDS is susceptible to certain infections and cancers. When a person with AIDS cannot fight off infections, this person becomes ill. Most people with AIDS will die as a result of their infection.

What causes AIDS?

AIDS is caused by a virus called Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV.

HIV can be spread by:

• Sexual contact (oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse) with an infected person when blood, semen or cervical/vaginal secretions are exchanged.
• Sharing a syringe/needle with someone who is infected
• Receiving contaminated blood or blood products (very unlikely now because blood used for transfusions has been tested for HIV antibodies since March 1985)
• An infected mother passing HIV to her unborn child before or during childbirth, and possibly through breast feeding.
• Receipt of transplant of infected tissue/organs or artificial insemination from an infected donor.
• A needle stick or sharps injury in a healthcare setting involving an infected person.

You cannot get HIV through casual contact, such as:

• Sharing food, utensils, or plates
• Touching someone who is infected with HIV
• Hugging or shaking hands
• Donating blood- (this has NEVER been a risk for contracting HIV)
• Using public restrooms
• Being bitten by mosquitoes or any other insect

Treatment:

Early diagnosis of HIV infection is important! If you have been told you have HIV you should get prompt medical treatment. Your doctor will help you determine the best treatment for you.

HIV antibody testing:

Free anonymous and confidential testing and counseling is available at every health department in Kentucky. After being infected with HIV, it takes between two weeks and six months before the test can detect the antibodies to the virus.

You should be tested if you:

• Have had sex with someone who had HIV
• Have shared needles or syringes with someone who has HIV
• Have had multiple sex partners or have had sex with someone who has had multiple partners
• Have had sex through prostitution (male or female)
• Have had sex with injecting drug users
• Had a blood transfusion between 1978 and 1985
• Are a women who is pregnant or desires to be pregnant and who wishes to reduce the chance of your baby getting HIV from you should you be infected

Remember: You can’t tell whether or not someone has HIV just by looking at them.

Prevention:

• Do not share needles or syringes with anyone
• Do not have sexual intercourse except with a monogamous partner whom you know is not infected. If you choose to have sex with anyone else, use latex condoms (rubbers), female condoms or dental dams every time you have sex.
• Educate yourself and others about the HIV infection and AIDS

What is safer sex?

Safer sex practices include:

• Abstinence (not having sex with another person)
• Having sex only with a person who you know does not have HIV, who does not
  practice unsafe sex or inject drugs
• Massage and hugging
• Mutual masturbation
• Dry kissing
• Body-to-body rubbing

Possibly safer sex practices include:

• French (wet) kissing
• Oral sex using latex condom (rubber) or dental dam
• Anal sex using a latex condom (rubber)
• Vaginal sex using a latex condom (rubber) or female condom

Remember: To reduce your chance of getting HIV, use a new latex condom (rubber) or female condom even when you use another birth control method or even if you are already pregnant.

Unsafe sex practices include:

• Semen (“cum”, “sperm”) or urine in the mouth
• Anal sex without a condom (rubber)
• Vaginal sex without a condom (rubber)
• Sharing sex toys
• Coming into contact with someone else’s blood

How to use a latex condom:

1. Use a new latex condom (rubber) every time you have sex.
2. The condom should be rolled onto the erect (hard) penis pinching an inch at the tip of the condom to hold the ejaculation (semen) fluid. Air bubbles should be smoothed out.
3. Use plenty of WATER-BASED lubricants such as K-Y Jelly before and during
   intercourse. DO NOT USE oil-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, mineral oil, vegetable oil, Crisco, or cold cream.
4. After ejaculating (“cuming”), withdraw the penis holding the condom at the base so it will not slip off.
5. Throw away the used condom (rubber) and wash hands.

Notice To All Clients Seeking Addiction Services

As a client seeking substance abuse services, it is extremely important that you are aware of several facts. There is a strong connection between substance abuse and both tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS. The incidence of TB-related illness in Kentucky has been increasing dramatically over the past several years, particularly in alcohol using populations. If you are in that category you are at a higher risk than the general population for contracting both TB and HIV/AIDS. We strongly encourage you to seek testing for these diseases because early detection is very important in their treatment.

If you wish to be screened for TB and/or HIV/ADS, you may arrange confidential testing by contacting your local health department. If you need any help finding these resources, please talk to the front desk or your therapist.
