Of course, information is being compiled every day due to the extensive research being done with this disease. It is therefore our task to update this workbook as often as possible in order to keep you informed. Keep in mind that statistics change on a daily basis. Also remember that the terminology describing the disease will be changing almost daily. Even different parts of the country will have different ways of referring to the disease and to the persons with the disease. In this course, we will present to you the latest thinking in regards to the cause and treatment of AIDS (thought to be caused by the HIV virus). The one good thing that is now happening, is that the international AIDS community is starting to agree on some common terminology when referring to the disease. These agreements will help nurses and lay people to understand what the doctors are talking about when they refer to the disease. We will inform you of these common terms. The disease of AIDS is still spreading virtually unchecked throughout our population in this country. Education has helped to slow the progression of the disease but it is still affecting thousands of people every day. Nurses are in a unique position to educate the public. You as a health care professional, have the unique responsibility to change attitudes of people toward the disease. There are still too many people who believe that they cannot catch the disease because "only homosexuals get AIDS." Even today, with all the educational programs available, there are many who still believe that only homosexuals and drug abusers can get AIDS. The first step to educating the public is to educate yourself. This course will give you the facts to be able to educate the public about this disease. You can tell people that anyone can get this disease. You can tell people that persons infected with HIV cannot spread the disease by touching you. The only way to spread the HIV virus is with blood-to-blood contact (blood to blood contact, and contact with bodily fluids that contain blood such as semen, vaginal secretions, etc.). Part of this course will also address the concerns of health care workers in clinical practice. "Universal Precautions" is the answer to protecting yourself. However, many nurses today still feel that they must take "extra" precautions if they have an HIV infected patient. This author has personally spoken to many nurses who say "that patient has HIV so be extra careful." There is no such thing as "extra careful." You must be careful with all patients and use Universal Precautions for every patient. Once these attitudes begin to change, the disease will then be able to be brought under control. Nurses have the opportunity to change attitudes of the public; that any person is at risk for HIV; and persons infected with HIV cannot infect you just by casual contact. However, the nurse must be the first to recognize these facts and then teach others the truth about the disease. 3 AIDS UPDATE COURSE OBJECTIVES At the end of course, each participant will be able to: 1. Name the year in which the HIV virus was first officially described. 2. Define AIDS; name the virus thought to be the cause of AIDS. 3. Discuss how the HIV virus grows and destroys the immune system. 4. Name and discuss at least five major symptoms of AIDS. 5. Name and discuss at least two routes of transmission of the virus. 6. Name and discuss each of the guidelines for Universal Precautions 7. Name two major laboratory tests for detecting the presence of the HIV virus; and the reliability of the tests 8. Discuss Haiti being thought of as the origin of AIDS. 9. Name and discuss the significance of transmission of the HIV virus in groups other than the homosexuals or bisexuals 10. Discuss the new guidelines for diagnosing AIDS. 11. Discuss the major psychosocial problems associated with AIDS. 12. Discuss guidelines the CDC uses in order to educate and/or place children in foster homes. 13. Name and discuss guidelines for teaching people how to avoid the disease. 14. Perform successfully on an objective exam at the end of the course (70% or better) which covers all areas of this text. Notice and disclaimers: Medicine and Nursing are ever-changing sciences.

THE FIRST REPORTED CASES The first cases of AIDS were officially reported in the U.S. in 1981. However, cases were being reported as early as 1978 in the U.S. and Haiti. In Haiti, AT THAT TIME, more than 550 persons had the disease. In a population of less than six million, that is a high percentage. Two separate groups, one headed by Dr. Freidman-Kein of New York University Medical Center, and the other by Dr. Gottlieb of UCLA Medical Center, reported the development of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, as well as a disseminated form of Kaposi's Sarcoma. These diseases developed in previously healthy young homosexual males in New York City and San Francisco, respectively.

  • Message from the Dean
    Developing the Next Generation of Healthcare Leaders ANNUAL REPORT 2009-10 Message from the Dean Solid Foundation Prepares Strong Future As I look back on our accomplishments during the 2009-2010 academic year, I am reminded of one of our greatest accomplishments to date – the Groundbreaking Ceremony for John and Editha Kapoor Hall. This event represents the beginning of our future as well as the focus of all we currently strive to achieve and enhance. Kapoor Hall will allow us to attain our curricular objectives, advance our research, expand collegial interactions and assist all members of the school in reaching their goals. The September 2009 Groundbreaking Ceremony laid the foundation for our occupancy of the building in the Summer of 2012. Our PharmD students were very active in pharmacy and healthcare policy objectives. Legislatively, SPAWNY organized a very successful Pharmacy Legislative Advocacy Day where local legislators visited the school and spoke with students about state health care policy and budget. APhA-ASP tackled legislative issues with the creation of a video showing how pharmacy impacts heath care reform at the local and regional levels. This was submitted to APhA as well as state and federal congressional offices. Nationally, the UB Team again took top honors with fourth place recognition at the AACP’s Pruitt-Schutte Business Plan Competition. On campus, our students represented the school well by their invited participation at the UB Celebration of Academic Excellence where PharmD and pharmaceutical sciences students showcased their research work via poster presentations. The continued high caliber work of our faculty continues to be recognized.
