Profile
HIV/AIDS is one of the biggest challenges the world faces today. The
rate of infection is quickly increasing and more and more people are
getting ill and dying from AIDS related illnesses. HIV/ AIDS is a serious
incurable disease, it is important to know how the disease is transmitted.
HIV is spread through contact with certain body fluids from a person
infected with HIV. These body fluids include:
Blood
Semen
Pre-seminal fluid
Vaginal fluids
Rectal fluids
Breast milk
The spread of HIV from person to person is called HIV transmission. The
spread of HIV from an HIV-infected woman to her child during pregnancy,
childbirth, or breastfeeding is called mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
You can’t get HIV by shaking hands or hugging a person infected with HIV.
You also cant get HIV from contact with objects such as dishes, toilet seats,
or doorknobs used by a person with HIV. HIV does not spread through the air
or through mosquito, tick, or other insect bites.
Soon after infection with HIV, some people have flu-like symptoms, such as
fever, headache, or rash. Without treatment, HIV can advance to AIDS.
The use of HIV medicines to treat HIV infection is called antiretroviral therapy
(ART). ART involves taking a combination of HIV medicines every day. ART
prevents HIV from multiplying and reduces the amount of HIV in the body.
Having less HIV in the body protects the immune system and prevents HIV
infection from advancing to AIDS.
ART can’t cure HIV, but it can help people infected with HIV live longer,
healthier lives. ART also reduces the risk of HIV transmission.
SUMMARY
The speaker said that it is obvious that there is so much sexism and
inequality in society, especially in the workforce and that there is not enough
measures being taken to prevent and stop such problems and this was
definitely something that should be promoted.
Moving on with his discussion, the next area was on SOGIE in which
SO stands for Sexual Orientation GI is for Gender Identity and E is for Gender
Expression .Sexual Orientation was on determining through desire or
attraction .The object of desire whether physical / emotional / romantic
determines sexual orientation. He added the three main categories of sexual
orientation which are the homosexuality, along with bisexuality and
heterosexuality. Homosexuality is romantic or sexual attraction or behavior
between members of the same sex or gender. It is when a person, whether
male or female is attracted to a person of the same sex. Homosexuals are
commonly termed as lesbians for females and gays for males. Heterosexual
is a term used for the people who get attracted to the people of the opposite
sex while bisexuals are those who are attracted to both same sexes .As to
Gender Identity it is for one’s personal experience of one’s own gender. It
can correlate with assigned sex at birth or can differ from it. Lastly, the
Gender Expression is for external manifestation of gender, expressed
through a person’s name, pronouns, clothing, haircut, behavior, voice, and/or
body characteristics. Society identifies these cues as a masculine and
feminine, although what is considered masculine or feminine changes over
time and varies by culture. These are concepts the speaker discussed on. He
ended the SOGIE topic saying that the difference between gender identity and
sexual orientation is who you are and whom you love.
The speaker added that in an ideal world, sex, sexual orientation and gender
identity are incidental. But in heavily prejudiced society, these conditions
results in negative judgments and biases against those that are perceived to
be different. That SOGIE should not be used for unequal treatment and
discrimination.
