  • What You Should Know About HIV and AIDS
    WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HIV & AIDS WHAT IS AIDS? AIDS is the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome – a serious illness that 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. These infections can eventually kill a person with AIDS. WHAT CAUSES AIDS? The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS. Early diagnosis of HIV infection is important! If you have been told that you have HIV, you should get prompt medical treatment. In many cases, early treatment can enhance a person’s ability to remain healthy as long as possible. Free or reduced cost anonymous and confidential testing with counseling is available at every local health department in Kentucky. After being infected with HIV, it takes between two weeks to three months before the test can detect antibodies to the virus. HOW IS THE HIV VIRUS SPREAD? Sexual contact (oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse) with an infected person when blood, pre-ejaculation fluid, semen, rectal fluids or cervical/vaginal secretions are exchanged. Sharing syringes, needles, cotton, cookers and other drug injecting equipment with someone who is infected. Receiving contaminated blood or blood products (very unlikely now because blood used in transfusions has been tested for HIV antibodies since March 1985). An infected mother passing HIV to her unborn child before or during childbirth, and through breast feeding. Receipt of transplant, tissue/organs, or artificial insemination from an infected donor. Needle stick or other sharps injury in a health care setting involving an infected person.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.

  • Partners with Mixed HIV Status
    Partners With Mixed HIV Status SERODISCORDANT RELATIONSHIPS Relationships in which one or more people has HIV and one or more people do not have HIV are sometimes called serodiscordant or mixed serostatus. The term serodiscordant is made up of two roots: 1. Sero—meaning blood 2. Discordant—meaning different or non-matching HIV isn’t the first topic that comes up when most people start dating. You may not know the HIV status of your partner(s). You might not even have been tested yourself. It can be very difficult to talk about HIV status. WHAT ARE THE SPECIAL ISSUES FOR SERODISCORDANT RELATIONSHIPS? People in mixed HIV status relationships face all the same things as other people in relationship. But there are some extra issues: The partner(s) with HIV might focus on not infecting their partner(s). The partner(s) who do not have HIV may concentrate on taking care of the person/people with HIV. This can cause a serious lack of balance in the relationship. HIV can cause changes in the body. Antiretroviral medications (ARVs) may have unpleasant side effects. This might give the partner(s) with HIV negative feelings about their body and their health. It may be difficult to feel attractive and have a normal romantic relationship. Fear of transmitting HIV can cause an excess of caution. This might even stop all sexual activity. Review the following fact sheets for more information: Stopping the Spread of HIV Safer Sex Guidelines Condoms Ways HIV is Transmitted Try to have open discussions about your desires, your fears, and your limits.
