Preventing Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (Developed)
If a woman who is HIV positive becomes pregnant, there's a risk that her baby will contract HIV during pregnancy, childbirth, or breast feeding. Becky Kuhn, M.D. explains how the risk can be reduced through the use of antiretroviral medications for the mother and the infant and the use of formula instead of breast feeding. These guidelines are for women in developed countries with reliable access to ARVs, formula, and clean water. Visit http://www.GlobalLifeworks.org and http://AIDSvideos.org to learn more.

Eastern philosophers say that 99% of humanity is unconscious. If your world is your club, back room, dark room, adult videos, and Internet sex-on-demand, you're leading an unconscious lifestyle, and this unconsciousness will kill you. To the world at large, the "Gay" identity is AIDS identity--a hedonistic and narcissistic identity. But if you wake up, you realize that there's more to life than your sexual orientation.

Abstinence, Fidelity, Cultural Issues, and Cultural Change
Abstinence from sex until marriage and faithfulness after marriage is frequently promoted as a means of preventing HIV transmission, and if both partners are both abstinent and faithful, it will be effective. However, abstaining from sex until marriage is often the exception rather than the rule, and a partner who abstained can contract HIV from one who did not. Honest communication is critical. In many cultures, discussing sex is taboo, which contributes to HIV transmission. Changing cultures requires cultural sensitivity. Educating people about HIV itself and letting them develop culturally specific responses may be most effective. Visit http://www.GlobalLifeworks.org and http://AIDSvideos.org to learn more.

People ask what the risk is that they have already contracted HIV. There's no way to reliably estimate what the risk is that a particular individual already has or has not contracted HIV. There are too many variables that play a role and that are difficult or impossible to quantify. In reality, either you have already contracted HIV, or you have not. Speculating won't help you, your partners, or your loved ones. If you think you may have been exposed to HIV or may have any risk factors, you should get tested for HIV. If you have already contracted HIV, you are much better off finding out now and getting early monitoring and treatment that can improve the quality and length of your life than waiting until later.

"DON'T," a 30 second PSA promoting HIV/AIDS testing and condom use
"DON'T" is a public service announcement that uses stark white text on a black background to grab the user's attention with a series of paradoxical, ridiculous statements. Then, once the user's attention has been grabbed, it finishes with a conventional HIV/AIDS awareness message pointing out that AIDS kills and how ridiculous the preceding statements were. We expect that users have already seen hundreds of conventional AIDS prevention education messages and probably tune them out when they come on TV or the web. This is an attempt to "shake people up" with a message that is fresh and unexpected. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Charlie Johnson, who has been living with HIV for fourteen years, describes the connection between depression and HIV in his life, including: how HIV's effect on the brain contributes to feelings of depression; different ways he has managed his depression; why he tried but stopped using antidepressant medications; and how helping other people has proven to be the most effective way for him to treat his own depression.

Cass Mann is one of the world's longest-term HIV-positive diagnosed gay men, now in his third decade of living with HIV, and the founder of UK’s only gay men’s HIV/AIDS charity Positively Healthy, which provides HIV services including education, support, and peer counselling. Here he talks about the dangers of playing away. If you're in a relationship with someone and you don't know what they're doing when you're apart, or you suspect they're having sex with other partners, or they have admitted it, end the relationship. If your partner loves you, they won't be playing away. Cut your losses. It's not worth it. What they bring home could kill you. Today, HIV is often transmitted within relationships. We think that the answer to all our needs is more sex and/or better sex. That's not how it works. First, get your relationship with yourself right. If you do that, you can deal with your partner.

Becky Kuhn, M.D., explains why it's so important for HIV positive people who are on antiretroviral medications (ARVs) to take their medications at the prescribed dosages on the prescribed schedules. This will reduce the risk of developing a strain of HIV that is resistant to the ARV medication. Visit http://www.GlobalLifeworks.org and http://AIDSvideos.org to learn more.

He advocates that HIV positive people avoid all toxic or artificial substances and eat only organic food. They should eat regular meals throughout the day. He further advocates vegetarianism to avoid immunotoxic and indigestible animal foods in order to fully support the immune system. Don’t smoke. Avoid all recreational drug. Certain alcoholic beverages are OK in moderation if you and your drug regime can tolerate it, but if you have an addictive personality you should avoid these completely. Also, avoid all toxic people. It's hard to give these up after years of addiction but vital for your health! For more information about HIV/AIDS, visit http://www.posh-uk.org.uk/ and http://www.AIDSvideos.org/.
Becky Kuhn, M.D., answers the top ten questions about HIV tests: 1) How do HIV tests work? 2) What are the window period and false negatives? 3) How long after exposure to HIV does it take for a person to test HIV positive? 4) What's the risk of a false positive on the initial ELISA test? 5) What's the risk of a false positive diagnosis after a Western Blot test? 6) Can I be tested for free? 7) Can I be tested without revealing my name? 8) Do I have to be stuck with a needle? 9) If I test HIV positive, does that mean Im going to develop AIDS and die? 10) Why should I get tested? She also explains: anonymous testing; confidential, name-based testing; home-based testing for HIV-1; and use of the PCR Test for detection of HIV infection during the window period. There is a 98.5% chance that an "HIV positive" result on an initial ELISA test is correct (and a 1.5% chance that it was a false positive). There is a 99.9996% chance that an "HIV positive" result after an initial ELISA *and* a confirmatory Western ...
Phil Johnson, M.D. explains why it's so important to use a condom EVERY TIME you have sex with a person who is HIV positive or whose HIV status you do not know. The risk of HIV transmission is greatest right after a person has been first infected, even if an antibody test wouldn't show them as HIV positive yet. In studies of married couples where one partner was HIV positive and the other was HIV negative, if they used condoms EVERY time they had sex, there was no HIV transmission, but if they used the condom only sometimes, there was a significant risk.

Cass Mann is one of the world's longest-term HIV-positive diagnosed gay men, now in his third decade of living with HIV, and the founder of UK’s only gay men’s HIV/AIDS charity Positively Healthy, which provides HIV services including education, support, and peer counselling. Here he talks about how people sometimes feel suicidal when they think they're about to test HIV positive or have tested HIV positive, and why suicide makes no sense. A person who is diagnosed HIV positive today can expect to live a full lifespan with a good quality of life so long as they follow medical advice and take care of their health and nutrition. Many gay men who committed suicide lacked a network. Gay men should get a support network in place so that they have it when they need it. Drugs, depression, and isolation all increase the risk of suicide. People suffering from depression need immediate treatment.

Did I Just Contract HIV? Symptoms of Primary HIV Infection
It's sometimes possible to recognize when you've recently contracted HIV from signs and symptoms such as fever, rash, or swollen lymph nodes. This video will teach you how to recognize signs and symptoms of primary HIV infection that are experienced by between 40 and 90% of individuals after they are first infected with HIV. Primary HIV infection occurs during the first few weeks or months after a person first becomes infected with HIV. Symptoms include rash and/or fevers, possibly in combination with one or more of the following symptoms: malaise (which is a general feeling of weakness, discomfort, and fatigue), loss of appetite, weight loss, a sore throat, sores in the mouth, joint or muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes, diarrhea, fatigue, night sweats, nausea and vomiting, headache, or genital sores.
