for me, struggling to hang on with work while I am away from my family,
constant battle with my sexuality & trying hard to live with the
expectations of my relatives. </b></span></span></div>

</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b> When I was diagnosed, all came to a complete halt. Everything was
not as same as it was before. I was overshadowed by complete darkness and I
don’t know where to start again with my life or what is left of it. I cried
buckets of tears thinking that I was totally useless, I was scared of
disclosing my status for the fear of being judged, casted away, or hurt by the
people I love and value the most.</b></span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>The fact is, all my fears did happen. The first person who
stigmatized and discriminated me were my own parents along with some of my
relatives. It was like every day that I wake up everything just keeps getting
worse. </b></span></span></div>

now and I have been struggling with what is really my purpose for doing this
ADVOCACY. Well for me I only want one thing to happen, and that is to
eventually reach the goal of “GETTING TO ZERO” and it starts with spreading
awareness. We need to educate each and everyone in order for them to know the
facts and correct misconceptions about the VIRUS. If we do that then we can
eventually put an end to the increasing NEW HIV INFECTIONS, we can prevent
cases of AIDS-RELATED DEATHS by making sure that they are enrolled in a
Treatment Hub and seek proper Treatment and we can be able to stop the STIGMA

<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am very much happy that I am still alive and kicking. Although these previous months was a very stressful and had to a adjust with a lot of things.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">My second week on <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Lamivudine/Tenofovir/Efavirenz</span> was pretty much great. Although the only drug that is really dominant I can say is Efavirenz. I take it every 9pm and around 10-10:30pm I already go to sleep and I usually wake up again in the middle of the night (around 12mn or 2am) with the feeling of <span style="color: #3d85c6;">NUMBING SENSATION & HOT FLUSHES</span> (it's like heat is trying to push its way through my skin) I just usually find a comfortable place to sleep which is in our living room and turn on the Fan in full power and within an hour I fall asleep.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Other than the numbing and hot flushes I don't feel anything unusual not until on the 19th just the morning before the 30th AIDS Candlelight Memorial Celebration. I tried an old pants in my closet which was not cleaned fro more than a month and 30 minutes after.....</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Rashes started to appear on both inner thighs... Since I see it as a cause of some allergic reaction I took Antihistamine right away and observed for further changes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Celebrated the 30th International AIDS Candlelight Memorial in the afternoon. Because I was so busy with the event I was not able to notice any changes not until I went home around 8pm and noticed the rashes still spreading now in both my arms and feet. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">That day<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Monday (May 20,2013) </span>I immediately called my boss and asked permission that I will be absent and head straight to my treatment hub to seek consultation. Immediately the resident physician assigned to me started and IV Heplock and started on Hydrocortisone 200mg and Chlorphenamine Maleate to prevent further allergic complications.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">My laboratories were all normal. In the afternoon my doctor advised that I go home and take some rest and prescribe some medications for my allergy. Our main attending Doctor advised me also to seek a second opinion from a dermatologist to really rule out any possible underlying condition.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Next day <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Tuesday (May 21,2013)</span> I went to SM City Iloilo to look for a Dermatologist on duty in a Skin Clinic. I sat down and then discussed what happened prior to the occurrence of rashes. She also examined my rashes and concluded that it's similar to insect bites and so probably it was Dust Mites from the old pants that I tried. She prescribed some topical Hydrocortisone and Some Antihistamines and then I head straight home to get some rest and to prepare to go to work again the next day.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">May 22,2013</span> went to work and basically had a great day and didn't feel anything unusual. My rashes are starting to fade away. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">May 23-29,2013</span> I can say that my body is partially adjusted to Efavirenz, I just feel the usual NUMBING and HOT FLUSHES but other than that I'm feeling perfectly fine.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">I'm done with my 3rd week and I can say that I feel better now. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">This ends my ARV diary for my 2nd and 3rd week of trial.</span></span><br />

<div class="imageStage" id="imagestage">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;">Woke up feeling drowsy and felt like I had a hangover. I can compare it to taking anti-histamine but this time i don't feel light-headed... my head was heavy.</span></span></div>
<div class="imageStage" id="imagestage">

<div class="imageStage" id="imagestage">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;">Woke up 2 in the morning and I felt the Efavirenz having its peak. I was trying to sleep again but I can't and so I played some soothing music to aid my sleep as what i always do when I have insomnia. I was playing JASON DERULO's WHAT IF and I was hearing the song differently. The song was playing in a slight fast forward mode. Got irritated so I turned off the music. After a while I fell asleep. </span></span></div>
<div class="imageStage" id="imagestage">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;">The whole morning was ok, until afternoon came and i started to feel different again. I felt the "heavy" feeling again and so I was really not able to work well and just waited for my work to end and hurried back home and took some rest.</span></span></div>

<div class="imageStage" id="imagestage">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;">Woke up great again although quite dizzy but is more tolerable and i was able to do some house chores without any problem. Stayed in the house all through out the day with frequent naps.</span></span></div>

<div class="imageStage" id="imagestage">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;">Woke up around 12:30am and I was playing an instrumental music (violin). I was quite irritated by the sound because it doesn't sound right anymore. I was like playing a little fast again and it was not in tune (of course it's because of the Efavirenz again). So I stopped playing the music and went out of the room and slept at the folding bed in the Living Room. I did have a difficult time again to sleep but after an hour I fell asleep. </span></span></div>

But this is just the first week and there's more to come. Hopefully this shall all pass and I can finally be able to adjust to my ARV.</span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;">I get a lot of questions about the price of Anti RetroViral medications. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anti RetroViral Medications here in the Philippines is FREE. Once you get your CONFIRMATORY/WESTERN BLOT Result you are advised to be enrolled in a Treatment Hub for you to avail the FREE TREATMENT <span style="font-size: large;">which incl<span style="font-size: large;">ude the intake of ARV <span style="font-size: large;">medication</span> </span></span>if your CD4 is below 350 or as advised by your Doctor. You also need to secure and pay your monthly PHILHEALTH Contribution for you to AVAIL other services provided by the PHILHEALTH Outpatient HIV & AIDS Treatment (OHAT) Package.</span></span> <br />
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;">But for others who with some personal reasons prefer not to be enrolled in a Treatment Hub and wants to know the prices<span style="font-size: large;">, here</span>'s an estimated price of AntiRetroVirals<span style="font-size: large;">:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1st Line AntiRetroViral - 700 - 900 Php/month</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">2nd Line AntiRetroViral - 2,500 - 3,000 Php/month</span></span></b><br />

<span style="color: #ffc000;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Together building hope</span></b><i>A poem written by Suzana Murni, 1996</i></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #ffc000;"><b>Tonight<br />A candle is lit<br />For you,<br />For friends with shared feelings<br />And for them who have already preceded us.<br />They have already passed away in order not to surrender.<br />And for friends that have taught us that pain and despair<br />Obviously can resurrect strength<br />That which during this time we’ve been unaware of.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffc000;"></span><span style="color: #ffc000;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #ffc000;"><br /><b>If, of course, this problem is the virus,<br />That destroys the human immune system,<br />Tell me,<br />Why do I feel pain more mentally than physically?<br />And why must I be prevented<br />From giving you a parting kiss<br />At the final moment of your life?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffc000;"> <b>At this moment I see<br />How you are inhumanely isolated by people in your community.<br />I witness in my mind’s eye<br />As your body is wrapped in plastic<br />While your soft blanket that I recognize<br />Is thrown into a hot flame<br />That glows of strong rejection of yourself<br />After much suffering<br />Because of the virus.</b><br />
<b>And I,<br />Through all of this, am close with you<br />Accompanied with sadness and emptiness.<br />All will soon become like this<br />Without time to hope that help will arrive,<br />Without hope for a future.<br />And I, myself, still don’t know<br />That which I am hoping for will arrive tomorrow or not?</b><br />
<b>Tonight<br />I light this candle for you<br />For all meaning that I have already gotten<br />About life and love.</b><br />
<b>For the soft touch and sincerity<br />That isn’t limited by nationality and language.</b><br />
<b>For friends that have already fought<br />And those that still firmly resist.</b><br />
<b>This candle radiates, my friend.<br />Our hope knitted together will illumine tomorrow’s<br />Morning sun<br />And send forth melodious song<br />That still wishes us to hear.</b><br />
<b>Warmth steadily returns<br />Because love never ends<br />Radiating its rays to the Earth.</b><br />
<b>Embrace love, which makes us feel strong<br />And willing to face all challenges<br />Love’s miracle that lives on<br />Because life is indeed precious.</b></span> <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>POSITIVE PREVENTION?</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-size: large;">Positive prevention aims to increase the self-esteem, confidence and ability of HIV positive people to protect their own health and to avoid passing on the infection to others. It needs to be implemented within an ethical framework that respects the rights and needs of people living with HIV to enjoy sexual relationships, have reproductive choices and live a full and healthy life. Positive prevention needs a supportive legal and policy environment to protect the rights of people living with HIV – in particular their sexual rights.</span></span></div>

<br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why POSITIVE PREVENTION ?</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #ea9999;">More than 40 million people worldwide are now living with HIV. Only a small proportion of them know their HIV status and many people with HIV still do not have access to ARV treatment. The global commitments to reaching universal access to HIV treatment, prevention, care and support aim to close these access gaps. As more people become aware of their HIV status and access HIV treatment, greater efforts are needed to adapt or create HIV prevention programmes that meet the HIV prevention needs of people living with HIV. Most prevention strategies to date have been directed towards people who are uninfected with HIV or who do not know their status, to prevent them from becoming infected. Few strategies and messages are designed specifically for HIV positive people. This needs to change.</span></span><br />

It is important to recognize that people with HIV continue to have sexual lives after an HIV diagnosis. Positive prevention services need to support open discussions about sex and relationships.<br /><br />It has been common in some settings for counselors and nurses to tell HIV positive people that they should abstain from sex completely or just have sex with someone else who is HIV positive. This advice may not be helpful to their psychological health on the one hand and on the other hand may expose to them reinfection. It also does not help the majority of HIV positive people who continue to be sexually active, nor those who are in relationships with HIV negative partners and want to continue a safer sexual relationship. The role of health service providers is to ensure that HIV positive people gain the skills they need to negotiate safer sex and maintain healthy sexual relationships.<br /><br />People’s perceptions of risk can change when their health situation improves. A crucial moment to reinforce prevention messages is when people have been on ARV treatment for some time and are feeling better. Counseling and peer support can help people living with HIV deal with these changes and support protective behavior when their health situation improves.<br /><br />Introducing referral systems during the process of information dissemination is essential to link HIV positive people with services that may be available for them, such as treatment education and adherence support, STI diagnosis and treatment, community-based support groups, harm reduction services and so on.<br /><br />The challenge is to empower people with HIV to explore and maintain ways of being sexually active that are full, satisfying and safe. Learning techniques to support consistent condom use and ways to have non-penetrative sex may help to achieve this.<br /><br />Counseling needs to help HIV positive people and their partners to identify and address barriers that make it difficult to practice safer sex consistently, such as the need for intimacy or fears of rejection.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Let’s talk about <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>regnancy!</span></b></span><br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Issues to consider</span></b><br /><span style="color: #f6b26b;">Availability and quality of local Pregnant Mother To Child Transmission (PMTCT) services.<br /><br />Availability and quality of local family planning clinics with staff who have been trained in HIV care and support.<br /><br />Opportunities exist for HIV positive people to discuss reproductive choices. These may exist in HIV treatment centers, family planning centers, voluntary counseling and testing centers and HIV service organizations. Discussing the choices available is an important step for HIV positive couples who are considering having a baby in order to protect the health of the mother and reduce the chances of HIV transmission to the baby.<br /><br />Some HIV positive women find it useful to discuss their questions and thoughts about having babies with other HIV positive women. Community support groups can often provide this opportunity.<br /><br />HIV positive women need support and information in order to take ARV treatment during pregnancy. Many are worried about the effects of the drugs on the baby. Some HIV positive women fear others will find out about their HIV status if they take ARV treatment. Counselors and people who provide information on ARV treatment need to be aware of<br />these issues and be prepared to discuss them with pregnant HIV positive women.<br /><br />Male partners need to be involved in discussing options for safe conception, pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 2:<br />Post-test and <span style="font-size: large;">O</span>ngoing <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">C</span>ounseling</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Issues to consider</span></b><br /><span style="color: #f6b26b;">People living with HIV play a vital role in facilitating peer counseling sessions, using their experience of living with HIV. It is important to ensure that HIV positive people are well trained, receive the support they need to play this role and are properly remunerated.<br /><br />As with HIV testing, many people are reluctant to access counseling even when it is available. This is especially true of highly stigmatized populations such as sex workers, men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, refugees and young people. Counseling services must be developed in ways that respond to the specific needs of these groups. Strategies to raise awareness and promote uptake of counseling services need to include outreach and peer-based methods to mobilize and engage marginalized communities. Counseling needs to be part of good referral pathways to community organizations and structures such as post-test clubs, NGOs, community-based organizations, private and public health providers, traditional healers, groups of people living with HIV, churches, businesses and trade associations.<br /><br />Health care workers are often in need of training and sensitization to the needs and rights of HIV positive people from marginalized communities. Many HIV positive people experience significant stigma and discrimination in health care settings, and training of health care workers about HIV and HIV-related discrimination helps to overcome these problems.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 3:<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Counseling</span> for <span style="font-size: large;">S</span>ero-<span style="font-size: large;">D</span>iscordant <span style="font-size: large;">C</span>ouples</span></b></span><br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Issues to consider</span></b><br /><span style="color: #f6b26b;">It is more difficult to promote counseling for couples in societies where there are cultural taboos that impede open discussion about sex and sexuality. Couples may be reluctant to attend counseling sessions together, and as a result it can be difficult to implement this strategy. It is important to work closely with communities and provide contextually sensitive alternatives to deal with these obstacles, such as organizing post-test clubs or support groups for couples, and engaging traditional leaders, headmen or church leaders as “gatekeepers” of gender and community norms.<br /><br />There are many barriers to maintaining consistent condom use, including local taboos and myths; the desire for sexual intimacy and trust, and perceptions that condoms interrupt this intimacy; drug and alcohol use; and inability to negotiate condom use. Counseling cannot always overcome these barriers. Counselors should be prepared to deal with these and other difficulties.<br /><br />Health care providers play an important role in supporting sero-discordant couples and promoting discussions on the role of non-positive partners in supporting adherence to treatment, decision making on pregnancy and parenting, or more general discussions about sex and sexual health.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Strategy 4:<br />Dealing with <span style="font-size: large;">D</span>isclosure</span></b></span><br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Issues to consider</span></b><br /><span style="color: #f6b26b;">HIV positive people have the right to choose who, how and when they tell about their status. Advising all people to disclose always can have many negative consequences.<br /><br />In some communities women have more to lose than men. Many women do not disclose their status for fear that their children will be discriminated against in school or in their community. Many women fear domestic violence or have experienced domestic violence as a result of disclosing their status to their partners. It is important to understand that disclosure to just one or two people and not to members of the family is an alternative for many people who want to protect themselves and their families from harm.<br /><br />Strategies to promote disclosure should be supported by community education and advocacy efforts to ensure that laws and policies are in place that protect HIV positive people against discrimination and that promote confidentiality and privacy.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Strategy 5:<br />HIV <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>esting and <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">C</span>ounseling</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Issues to consider</span></b><br /><span style="color: #f6b26b;">As the number of testing and counseling sites increases, it is essential to ensure quality. The establishment of networking opportunities to share experiences among testing providers, improve referral systems and promote best practice can support quality standards in testing.<br /><br />In some places it is difficult to recruit enough trained counselors to respond to the increasing demand for testing. UNAIDS (2002) provides suggestions on how to incorporate different kinds of counselors, with different roles, training and responsibilities. People living with HIV can become peer counselors, drawing on their own experiences. Non-health care workers can be trained in rapid test kit use, lay counselors can be employed, and specific courses on HIV testing can be provided and accredited, avoiding the need to recruit qualified generic counselors, psychologists or social workers. It is important to provide training for counselors who may find it difficult to talk about sex and sexual relations.<br /><br />Pre-test group counseling offers a further alternative in situations where there are too few counselors. Pre-test counseling is first provided to a group of people and then the decision to go for testing (or not) is made on an individual basis. Post-test counseling is only provided on an individual basis. Group counseling prior to a test offers an alternative way to deal with the needs of specific populations, such as men who have sex with men, injecting drug users or sex workers, or in health care settings such as antenatal clinics.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />Strategy 6:<br />Treatment and <span style="font-size: large;">C</span>are</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Issues to consider</b></span><br /><span style="color: #f6b26b;">It is important to ensure clear information about ARV treatment for all households, communities and people with HIV to avoid misunderstandings and to clarify the complex issues around treatment. Information should include basic facts on the type of treatment available, the need for high levels of adherence, the side effects of taking treatment and the need for good nutrition.<br /><br />Some studies point to behavior change as a result of ARV treatment. “Treatment optimism” is the term applied to the phenomenon of false perceptions arising out of treatment success, leading to a “relaxing” of safer sex practice. The extent of this problem is unknown, but concerns about the potential for treatment optimism underlines the importance of constant and comprehensive strategies for positive prevention to address false perceptions about ARV treatment and infectivity.<br /><br />The relationship between the health care worker and the patient is essential to ensure that people understand their treatment and follow the prescription they have received. Health care workers and peer treatment supporters can support people to understand their medications and take them regularly. Treatment services provide vitally important opportunities to reinforce positive prevention.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Strategy 7:<br />Prevention <span style="font-size: large;">S</span>upplies and <span style="font-size: large;">C</span>ommodities</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Issues to consider</b></span><br />Availability, access and affordability of male and female condoms and lubricant. Organizations that specialize in social condom marketing and free condom distribution can work together with health clinics to ensure a reliable supply of condoms and that wider distribution is achieved.<br /><br />Correct and consistent condom use is essential for people living with HIV. This information should be made widely available in health care facilities and ARV treatment delivery sites.<br /><br />Promoting condom use among stable couples can be challenging. Couples who may assume it is too late to adopt safer sexual practices must be encouraged and supported to use condoms through ongoing counseling. Health care facilities need to be linked to counseling services in order to support HIV positive people to make good-quality risk assessments of different sexual behaviors and to promote ongoing condom use.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 8:<br />Developing <span style="font-size: large;">R</span>eferral <span style="font-size: large;">S</span>ystems</span></b></span><br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Issues to consider</span></b><br />A referral system works best when the care providers are familiar with both the nature and the quality of services provided by each facility in order to make appropriate referrals. The experience of people using the services should also be considered in assessing and improving the quality of services.<br /><br />It is important to ensure a two-way referral system from community to health care services and back to the community. Availability of a pamphlet listing all the services that can be accessed in a particular community may help maintain a good flow in the referral process.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 9:<br />Facilitating <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>ost-<span style="font-size: large;">T</span>est <span style="font-size: large;">C</span>lubs and other <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>eer <span style="font-size: large;">S</span>upport <span style="font-size: large;">G</span>roups</span></b></span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Issues to consider</b></span><br />In high-prevalence countries, post-test clubs have proved effective in reducing stigma related to HIV at community level. In countries where the epidemic is concentrated in specific groups, care should be taken to ensure that post-test clubs do not draw negative attention, increasing stigma and discrimination towards groups already marginalized in society, such as people living with HIV, injecting drug users, men who have sex with men, and sex workers.<br /><br />Women living with HIV often need particular support and may prefer to discuss some issues only with other HIV positive women. The creation of HIV positive women-only support groups can help women discuss issues such as how to get their men to practice safer sex; how to disclose their status to partners or children; pregnancy and breastfeeding; and how, when and where to ask for home-based care or to organize income generating activities to ensure household security.<br /><br />Specific support groups for injecting drug users have also proved essential in order to create safer spaces for former or active users. Some of these groups may be connected to needle exchange and methadone substitution programmes in countries where these are available.<br /><br />Support groups for specific populations such as HIV positive sex workers or HIV positive men who have sex with other men are important for creating safe spaces where they can meet together and develop networks of mutual support. They also can become a platform for advocacy aimed at improving services, highlighting human rights abuses and participating in decision making.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 10:<br />Training HIV <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>ositive <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>eople as <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>eer <span style="font-size: large;">E</span>ducators and <span style="font-size: large;">C</span>ounsellors</span></b></span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Issues to consider</b></span><br />There is an assumption that the experience of living with HIV is a sufficient basis for becoming a community worker. Many HIV positive people have gone through very difficult times and need support to rebuild their confidence before taking on the role of a community worker. Lack of formal education should not be an obstacle to training or<br />to operating as peer counselors. There are many ways of offering information and support that do not rely on the use of printed materials. For example, in Khayelitsha, South Africa, the Mothers 2 Mothers 2 Be programme is supporting HIV positive pregnant women to make decisions about safe motherhood through peer counseling. HIV positive women who have recently had HIV negative babies share their experiences with pregnant women in the waiting rooms of antenatal clinics and provide information on safe delivery and breastfeeding.<br /><br />Training for peer counselors and peer educators should include support to cope with the stresses of this challenging work. Ongoing supervision is also important to ensure that information provided is up to date and accurate.<br /><br />Personal testimonies by HIV positive speakers can be powerful vehicles for HIV and AIDS awareness raising, and may help to reduce stigma and discrimination. But people need support and encouragement to speak publicly.<br /><br />People living with HIV may be effective community educators, but they should be remunerated adequately, financially or in kind.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 11:<br />Reinforcing <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>ositive <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>revention through <span style="font-size: large;">H</span>ome-<span style="font-size: large;">B</span>ased <span style="font-size: large;">C</span>are</span></b></span><br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Issues to consider</span></b><br />Home-based care team members and volunteers need to be well supported to ensure they have the skills and resources needed to provide prevention, treatment, care and support services, including accurate information on HIV prevention, safer sex and sexual health.<br /><br />Appropriate training and support should be offered to every member of the home-based care team, and in particular to people living with HIV who form part of the home-based care team.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 12:<br />Reinforcing <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>ositive <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>revention through <span style="font-size: large;">H</span>arm <span style="font-size: large;">R</span>eduction and <span style="font-size: large;">N</span>eedle <span style="font-size: large;">E</span>xchange <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>rogrammes</span></b></span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Issues to consider</b></span><br />HIV positive injecting drug users are regularly denied access to health care services, including ARV treatment, because of their drug use. More efforts are needed to develop different service models and to provide adequate training to health care providers to respond to the specific needs of injecting drug users, without discrimination. Mobile clinics, outreach services and services that address the other needs of drug users – these are some examples of the ways in which services need to adapt to meet the needs of drug users who are often highly stigmatized, very poor and who have many health and social support needs.<br /><br />It is important to combine improving services for drug users with advocacy efforts to ensure equal access to health care services, including ARV treatment, to all HIV positive people, including those who inject drugs.<br /><br />Understanding the particular needs of women who use drugs is an important dimension of positive prevention for drug users. Dependency on drugs can create particular pressures for women, and many need direct support from peers or from services to gain some control over both their injecting and their sexual lives. It is important to have separate support groups for women, and separate information and education on sex and sexual health, relationships, drugs and substitution therapy, and pregnancy and family planning services.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;"><br />Strategy 13:<br />Involving HIV positive people</span></b></span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Issues to consider</b></span><br />HIV prevention efforts targeting people living with HIV and other vulnerable populations are more effective when the target communities are involved. This involvement can also contribute towards reducing stigma in their community. The involvement of people living with HIV in the planning, development, delivery and evaluation of positive prevention enhances the relevance and reach of these interventions. <br /><br />HIV positive people have the right to make decisions about the level and type of their<br />involvement. They also have the right to choose to be involved without making their HIV status public.<br /><br />Organizations need to create an organizational culture that is conducive to meaningful involvement, This includes promoting behaviors, language and attitudes that encourage involvement. As well as organizational policy that supports people with HIV to work effectively at all levels of an organization.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 14:<br />Advocacy for HIV prevention</span></b></span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Issues to consider</b></span><br />Advocacy efforts are stronger when they include people living with HIV. Mobilizing the voices of people with HIV who need services has a powerful effect on decision-makers.<br /><br />Where ARV treatment is limited, it is important to recognize that an overemphasis on HIV<br />prevention for people with HIV can have a stigmatizing effect and can reinforce harmful stereotypes of HIV positive people as exclusively responsible for HIV transmission.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Strategy 15:<br />Creating a <span style="font-size: large;">S</span>upportive <span style="font-size: large;">Le</span>gal and <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>olicy <span style="font-size: large;">E</span>nvironment for <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>ositive <span style="font-size: large;">P</span>revention</span></b></span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Issues to consider</b></span><br />Legal remedies and law reform to protect the rights of HIV positive people can have a powerful impact by enshrining their rights in law. But these processes – advocating and campaigning for law reform – can be lengthy and resource intensive. Coalitions of groups with similar interests have been effective in campaigning for HIV-related law reform.<br /><br />Supportive legal and policy environments are created not only by good laws and policy but also by good education – of the general public, of professionals and of specific communities. Education about HIV and AIDS in and of itself is not enough. The general public, professionals and specific communities need education about HIV- related discrimination and the harm it causes.</span><br /><br /><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">People with HIV/AIDS have a high risk of developing certain cancers,
such as Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and cervical cancer. For people with HIV, these three cancers are often called
“AIDS-defining conditions,” meaning that if a person with an HIV
infection has one of these cancers it can signify the development of
AIDS.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The connection between HIV/AIDS and certain cancers is not completely
understood, but the link likely depends on a weakened immune system.
Most types of cancer begin when normal cells change and grow
uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign
(noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning it can spread to other
parts of the body). The types of cancer most common for people with
HIV/AIDS are described in more detail below.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Kaposi sarcoma is </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">a type of skin cancer that has traditionally
occurred in older men of Jewish or Mediterranean descent, young men in
Africa, or people who have had organ transplantation. Today, Kaposi
sarcoma is found most often in homosexual men with HIV/AIDS and is
related to an infection with the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8)<b><span style="font-size: small;">.</span></b></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer of the lymph system. Lymphoma
begins when cells in the lymph system change and grow uncontrollably,
which may form a tumor. The lymph system is made up of thin tubes that
branch to all parts of the body. Its job is to fight infection. The
lymph system carries lymph, a colorless fluid containing white blood
cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes fight germs in the body. Groups of
tiny, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes are located throughout the
body at different sites in the lymph system. Lymph nodes are found in
clusters in the abdomen, groin, pelvis, underarms, and neck. Other parts
of the lymph system include the spleen, which makes lymphocytes and
filters blood; the thymus, an organ under the breastbone; and the
tonsils, located in the throat.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There are many different <a href="http://www.cancer.net/node/19210">subtypes of NHL</a>.
The most common subtypes of NHL in people with HIV/AIDS are primary
central nervous system lymphoma (affecting the brain and spinal fluid),
primary effusion lymphoma (causing fluid to build up around the lungs or
in the abdomen), or intermediate and high-grade lymphoma.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cervical cancer starts in a woman's cervix, the lower, narrow part of
the uterus. The uterus holds the growing fetus during pregnancy. The
cervix connects the lower part of the uterus to the vagina and, with the
vagina, forms the birth canal. Cervical cancer is also called cancer of
the cervix.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Women with HIV/AIDS have a higher risk of developing cervical
intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), a precancerous growth of cells in the
cervix that is associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
High-grade CIN can turn into invasive cervical cancer.</span></span></span><br />

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce
tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not
result in more tumor destruction.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> 9. When the body has too much
toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is
either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various
kinds of infections and complications.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> 10. Chemotherapy and
radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and
difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to
other sites.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /><br /> 11. An effective way to battle cancer is to STARVE the cancer cells by not feeding it with foods it needs to multiple.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> What cancer cells feed on:</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br />
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one
important food supply to the cancer cells. Note: Sugar substitutes like
NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is
harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses
but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make
it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /><br />
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and
substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells will starved.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br />
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is
acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef
or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and
parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br />
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds,
nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.
About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable
juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
cellular levels within 15 minutes t o nourish and enhance growth of
healthy cells.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> To obtain live enzymes for building healthy
cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including
bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes
are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br />
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea
is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water--best
to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy
metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> 12.
Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive
enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will become
putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> 13. Cancer cell
walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less
meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells
and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br />
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,
Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the
body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like
vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the
body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded
cells.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> 15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A
proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a
survivor.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> Anger, unforgiving and bitterness put the body into a
stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving
spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> 16. Cancer cells cannot
thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep
breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen
therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><br /> (PLEASE SHARE IT TO PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT)</span></span></span></div>

person who voluntary submits himself/herself to be screened for HIV. This Procedure is
done by a trained VCT Counselor who does the Pre- and Post-Test Counseling. Counseling
before and after an HIV test is important because it provides critical
information about HIV itself and about the testing process. While counseling
services may not be available in all health care settings, many testing sites
do offer these services. If you would like access to pre-test and post-test
counseling, be sure to inquire about the availability of these services at your
chosen test site. If they do not have them readily available, the staff may be
able to direct you to alternate service providers who do.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Pre-test counseling sessions generally include the following:</span></b></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">Information about the HIV test—what it tests for, what it
might NOT tell you, and how long it will take you to get your results</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">Information about how HIV is transmitted and how you can
protect yourself from infection</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">Information about the confidentiality of your test results</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">A clear, easy-to-understand explanation of what your test
results mean</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">After
Pre-Test Counseling the HIV Counselor will direct you to a HIV Proficient
Medical Technologist and he/she will extract blood for it to be screened for HIV.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">Anonymous
HIV testing is a procedure whereby the identity of the individual being tested
is protected or not known. Two methods of anonymous HIV testing are the
unlinked anonymous and the voluntary anonymous.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Any person who submits to anonymous HIV testing shall not be required to
provide a name, age, address or any other information that may potentially
identify the same. In the case of voluntary anonymous HIV testing an
identifying symbol is substituted for the person’s true name or identity. The
symbol enables the laboratory doing the test and the test person to match the
test result with the said symbol.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">STEPS ON BLOOD DONATION </span></span></b></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">Have your weight taken.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">Register and honestly and complete the donor registration form.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">Have your blood type and hemoglobin checked.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">A physician will conduct a blood donor examination.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">Actual donation--the amount of blood to be donated (either 350cc or 450cc) will
depend on the donor's weight and blood pressure. It usually takes 10 minutes or
less.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #e06666;">A 5 to 10 minute rest and plenty of
fluid-intake are necessary after donation. </span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">In the screening process, you have to fill out a blood
donation questionnaire form that includes direct questions about behaviors
known to carry a higher risk of blood-borne infections—infections that are
transmitted through the blood. These behaviors include prostitution,
intravenous drug use and others. </span><span style="color: #e06666;">Each unit of blood collected will be examined for 5
transfusion-transmissible infectious diseases, namely: HIV,
Malaria, Syphillis, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C before it
is transfused to patients. A trained physician will be asking you about
your medical/ health history, and a physical examination will be
conducted—which includes checking your blood pressure, pulse and temperature.
All of the information from this evaluation is kept strictly confidential.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">During your blood donation screening procedure, a small sample of blood taken
from a finger prick is used to check your hemoglobin level, the oxygen-carrying
component of your blood. If your hemoglobin concentration is normal, and you've
met all the other screening requirements, you can donate blood.</span></div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Implications for getting screened for HIV through BLOOD DONATION is that you won't be informed of your Status and so it's still possible that you will do the same risky behavior and probably would be able to transmit it to other people unknowingly. Also the Blood that you donated if it would reveal a FALSE NEGATIVE result because of the WINDOW PERIOD would also be a danger to the recipient (Good thing that screening for blood nowadays have been very updated , they use the ANTIGEN TEST wherein as early as 3weeks would already detect HIV). And with you being unaware of your HIV Status would result to serious complications in the future and could even lead to DEATH. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity
to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that
resembles a disease-causing microorganism, and is often made from
weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its
surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system
to recognize the agent as foreign, destroy it, and "remember" it, so
that the immune system can more easily recognize and destroy any of
these microorganisms that it later encounters.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Vaccines can be prophylactic (example: to prevent or ameliorate the effects of a future infection by any natural or "wild" pathogen), or therapeutic (e.g. vaccines against cancer are also being investigated).</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Vaccines do not guarantee complete protection from a disease.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine#cite_note-1"><span></span><span></span></a></sup>
Sometimes, this is because the host's immune system simply does not
respond adequately or at all. This may be due to a lowered immunity in
general (diabetes, steroid use, HIV infection, age) or because the
host's immune system does not have a B cell capable of generating antibodies to that antigen.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Even if the host develops antibodies, the human immune system is not
perfect and in any case the immune system might still not be able to
defeat the infection immediately. In this case, the infection will be
less severe and heal faster.</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Who should get vaccinated?</span></b></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #c27ba0;">The U.S. Centers for
Disease Control have come out with updated vaccine guidelines for
adults, especially women in the reproductive age group:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccination is recommended for women of all ages.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #c27ba0;">All adults should receive 2 doses of Varicella vaccine.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #c27ba0;">The influenza vaccine is indicated in all adults and should be repeated yearly.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br />In
the Philippines, the peak of the flu season is during the rainy months
of June to September. The best time to get the flu vaccine is between
March and June, although getting immunized in later months can still
provide protection. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong> </strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>More vaccine guidelines</strong></span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #c27ba0;">In pregnant women, the only vaccines to be avoided are MMR, varicella and herpes zoster.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Don’t get pregnant one month after receiving these vaccines.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #c27ba0;">All
adults between 19-64 years old should receive
tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap). If pregnant, wait till after the
5th month.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Pneumococcal vaccine should be given to all adults
from age 65 and above. It may be given at a younger age if the adult has
diabetes, asthma or a history of cigarette smoking.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Hepatitis A and B vaccination should be repeated every 5 years.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br />With
these new guidelines, it is hoped that an immunized populace will mean
the eradication of preventable diseases that lead to many serious
conditions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Remember: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.</span></b></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><img height="640" id="il_fi" src="http://3dciencia.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/papiloma-virus-HPV-papillomavirus-what-you-should-know-about-viru.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="574" /></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What is a Human Papillomavirus (HPV)?</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-size: small;">Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus. Most
sexually active people in the will have HPV at some time in their lives. There
are more than 40 types of HPV that are passed on through sexual contact. These
types can infect the genital areas of men, including the skin on and around the
penis or anus. They can also infect the mouth and throat.</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Genital warts</b></span></span> usually appear as a small bump or groups
of bumps in the genital area. They can be small or
large, raised or flat, or shaped like a cauliflower.
Health care providers can diagnose warts by looking at
the genital area during an office visit. Warts can
appear within weeks or months after sexual contact with
an infected partner—even if the infected partner has no
signs of genital warts. If left untreated, genital warts
might go away, remain unchanged, or increase in size or
number. Warts will not turn into cancer. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #e69138;">Anal warts</span> </b></span>(also called "condyloma acuminata") are a condition that
affects the area around and inside the anus. They may also affect the
skin of the genital area. They first appear as tiny spots or growths,
perhaps as small as the head of a pin, and may grow larger than the size
of a pea. Usually, they do not cause pain or discomfort to afflicted
individuals. As a result, patients may be unaware that the warts are
present. Some patients will experience symptoms such as itching,
bleeding, mucus discharge and/or a feeling of a lump or mass in the anal
area.</span> </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">How do Men get HPV?</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="font-size: small;">HPV is passed on through genital contact—most often during
vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV
usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV—and pass it
on—without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since
they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get
HPV.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What are the health problems caused by HPV in men?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="font-size: small;">Most men who get HPV (of any type) never develop any symptoms or
health problems. But some types of HPV can cause genital warts. Other types can
cause cancers of the penis, anus, or oropharynx (back of the throat, including
base of the tongue and tonsils.) The types of HPV that can cause genital warts
are not the same as the types that can cause cancer.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="font-size: small;">Note: Anal cancer is not the same as colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is more common than anal cancer, and is not caused by
HPV.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>How common are HPV-related health problems in men?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: small;">About 1% of sexually active men in the U.S. have genital warts
at any one time.<br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cancers of the penis, anus and oropharynx are uncommon, and
only a subset of these cancers are actually related to HPV. Each year in the
U.S. there are about:</span></span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: small;">400 men who get HPV-related cancer of the penis</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: small;">1,500 men who get HPV-related cancer of the anus</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: small;">5,600 men who get cancers of the oropharynx (back of throat),
but many of these cancers are related to tobacco and alcohol use, not
HPV.</span></span></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Some men are more likely to develop HPV-related diseases than
others:</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-size: small;">Gay and bisexual men (who have sex with other men) are about 17
times more likely to develop anal cancer than men who only have sex with
women.<br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-size: small;">Men with weakened immune systems, including those who have HIV, are
more likely than other men to develop anal cancer. Men with HIV are also more
likely to get severe cases of genital warts that are harder to treat.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What are the signs and symptoms?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: small;">Most men who get HPV never develop any symptoms or health
problems. But for those who do develop health problems, these are some of the
signs and symptoms:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />One or more growths on the penis, testicles,
groin, thighs, or in/around the anus.<br />Warts may be single, grouped, raised,
flat, or cauliflower-shaped. They usually do not hurt.<br />Warts may appear
within weeks or months after sexual contact with an infected person.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Is there a test for HPV in men?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="font-size: small;">Currently, there is no HPV test recommended for men. The only
approved HPV tests on the market are for screening women for cervical cancer.
They are not useful for screening for HPV-related cancers or genital warts in
men.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="font-size: small;">There is no approved test to find genital warts for men or
women. However, most of the time, you can see genital warts. If you think you
may have genital warts, you should see a health care provider.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="font-size: small;">There is no test for men to check one’s overall “HPV status.”
But HPV usually goes away on its own, without causing health problems. So an HPV
infection that is found today will most likely not be there a year or two from
now. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>You can check for any abnormalities on your penis, scrotum, or around the
anus. See your doctor if you find warts, blisters, sores, ulcers, white patches,
or other abnormal areas on your penis—even if they do not hurt.</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Is there a treatment or cure for HPV?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: small;">There is no treatment or cure for HPV. But there are ways to
treat the health problems caused by HPV in men.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: small;">Genital warts can be treated with medicine, removed (surgery),
or frozen off. Some of these treatments involve a visit to the doctor. Others
can be done at home by the patient himself. No one treatment is better than
another. But warts often come back within a few months after treatment—so
several treatments may be needed. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Treating genital warts may not necessarily lower a man’s chances
of passing HPV on to his sex partner. If warts are not treated, they may go away
on their own, stay the same, or grow (in size or number)</span> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>TREATMENT OPTIONS </b></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Podofilox</b></span></span> is an antimitotic drug that destroys warts, is relatively
inexpensive, easy to use, safe, and self-applied. Podofilox solution
should be applied with a cotton swab, or podofilox gel with a finger, to
visible genital warts twice a day for 3 days, followed by 4 days of no
therapy. This cycle can be repeated, as necessary, for up to four
cycles. The total wart area treated should not exceed 10 cm2, and the
total volume of podofilox should be limited to 0.5 mL per day. If
possible, the health-care provider should apply the initial treatment to
demonstrate the proper application technique and identify which warts
should be treated. Mild to moderate pain or local irritation might
develop after treatment. The safety of podofilox during pregnancy has
not been established.</span><br />

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Imiquimod</b></span></span> is a topically active immune enhancer that stimulates
production of interferon and other cytokines. Imiquimod cream should be
applied once daily at bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks.
The treatment area should be washed with soap and water 6–10 hours
after the application. Local inflammatory reactions, including redness,
irritation, induration, ulceration/erosions, and vesicles, are common
with the use of imiquimod, and hypopigmentation
has also been described. Imiquimod might weaken condoms and vaginal diaphragms. The safety of imiquimod during pregnancy has not been established.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sinecatechin ointment</b></span></span>, a green-tea extract with an active product
(catechins), should be applied three times daily (0.5-cm strand of
ointment to each wart) using a finger to ensure coverage with a thin
layer of ointment until complete clearance of warts. This product should
not be continued for longer than 16 weeks.
The medication should not be washed off after use. Sexual (i.e.,
genital, anal, or oral) contact should be avoided while the ointment is
on the skin. The most common
side effects of sinecatechins 15% are erythema, pruritis/burning,
pain, ulceration, edema, induration, and vesicular rash. This medication
may weaken condoms and diaphragms. No clinical data are available
regarding the efficacy or safety of sinecatechins compared with other
available anogenital wart treatment modalities. T<b>he medication is not
recommended for HIV-infected persons, immunocompromised persons, or
persons
with clinical genital herpes because the safety and efficacy of
therapy in these settings has not been established.</b> The safety of
sinecatechins during pregnancy also is unknown.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cryotherapy</b></span></span> destroys warts by thermal-induced cytolysis.
Health-care providers must be trained on the proper use of this therapy
because over- and undertreatment can result in complications or low
efficacy. Pain after application of the liquid nitrogen, followed by
necrosis and sometimes blistering,
is common. Local anesthesia (topical or injected) might facilitate
therapy if warts are present in many areas or if the area of warts is
large.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pedophyllin resin</b></span></span> 10%–25% should be applied to each wart and allowed
to air-dry before the treated area comes into contact with clothing;
overapplication or failure to air dry can result in local irritation
caused by spread of the compound to adjacent areas. The treatment can be
repeated weekly, if necessary. To avoid the possibility of
complications associated with systemic absorption and toxicity, two
guidelines should be followed: 1) application should be limited to
<0.5 mL of podophyllin or an area of <10 cm2 of warts per session
and 2) the area to which treatment is administered should not contain
any open lesions or wounds. The preparation should be thoroughly washed
off 1–4 hours after application to reduce local irritation. The safety
of podophyllin during pregnancy has not been established. Podophyllin
resin preparations differ in the concentration of active components and
contaminants. The shelf life and stability of podophyllin preparations
are unknown.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or Bichloroacetic acid (BCA)</b></span></span> are caustic agents that destroy warts by chemical
coagulation of proteins. Although these preparations are widely used,
they have not been investigated thoroughly. TCA solutions have a low
viscosity comparable with that of water and can spread rapidly if
applied excessively; therefore, they can damage adjacent tissues. A
small amount should be applied only to the warts and allowed to dry
before the patient sits or stands, at which time a white frosting
develops. If pain is intense, the acid can be neutralized with soap or
sodium bicarbonate. If an excess amount of acid is applied, the treated
area should be powdered with talc, sodium bicarbonate (i.e., baking
soda), or liquid soap preparations to remove unreacted acid. This
treatment can be repeated weekly, if necessary.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Surgical therapy</b></span></span> has the advantage of usually eliminating warts at a
single visit. However, such therapy requires substantial
clinical training, additional equipment, and a longer office visit.
After local anesthesia is applied, the visible genital warts can be
physically destroyed by electrocautery, in which case no additional
hemostasis is required. Care must be taken to control the depth of
electrocautery to prevent scarring. Alternatively, the warts can be
removed either by tangential excision with a pair of fine scissors or a
scalpel, by laser, or by curettage. Because most warts are exophytic,
this procedure can be accomplished with a resulting wound that only
extends into the upper dermis. Hemostasis can be achieved with an
electrocautery unit or a chemical styptic (e.g., an aluminum chloride
solution). Suturing is neither required nor indicated in most cases if
surgical removal is performed properly. Surgical therapy is most
beneficial for patients who have a large number or area of genital
warts. Both carbon dioxide laser and surgery might be useful in the
management of extensive warts or intraurethral warts, particularly for
those persons who have not responded to other treatments.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Because all available treatments have shortcomings, some clinics
employ combination therapy (simultaneous use of two or more modalities
on the same wart at the same time). Data are limited regarding the
efficacy or risk of complications associated with use of such
combinations.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">BEFORE PURCHASING THOSE CREAMS/OINTMENTS PLEASE SEEK YOUR DOCTORS ADVISE FIRST.</span></b></span> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Are there ways to lower my chances of getting HPV?</b></span> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: small;">A safe and effective HPV vaccine (Gardasil) can protect boys and
men against the HPV types that cause most genital warts and anal cancers. It is
given in three shots over six months. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: small;">Condoms (if used with every sex act, from start to finish) may
lower your chances of passing HPV to a partner or developing HPV-related
diseases. But HPV can infect areas that are not covered by a condom—so condoms
may not fully protect against HPV.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because HPV is so common and usually invisible, the only sure
way to prevent it is not to have sexual contact. Even people with only one
lifetime sex partner can get HPV, if their partner was infected with
HPV.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I heard about a new HPV vaccine – can it help me?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you are 26 or younger, there is an HPV vaccine that can help
protect you against the types of HPV that most commonly cause problems in men.
The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) works by preventing four common HPV types, two that
cause most genital warts and two that cause cancers, including anal cancer. It
protects against new HPV infections; it does not cure existing HPV infections or
disease (like genital warts). It is most effective when given before a person’s
first sexual contact (i.e., when s/he may be exposed to HPV). </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="font-size: small;">CDC recommends the HPV vaccine for all boys ages 11 or 12, and
for males through age 21, who have not already received all three doses. The
vaccine is also recommended for gay and bisexual men (or any man who has sex
with men), and men with compromised immune systems (including HIV) through age
26, if they did not get fully vaccinated when they were younger. The vaccine is
safe for all men through age 26, but it is most effective when given at younger
ages. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="font-size: small;">The HPV vaccine is very safe and effective, with no serious side
effects. The most common side effect is soreness in the arm. Studies show that
the vaccine can protect men against genital warts and anal cancers. It is likely
that this vaccine also protects men from other HPV-related cancers, like cancers
of the penis and oropharynx (back of throat, including base of tongue and
tonsils), but there are no vaccine studies that have evaluated these
outcomes.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I just found out that my partner has HPV …</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />What does it mean
for my health?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: small;">Partners usually share HPV. If you have been with your partner
for a long time, you probably have HPV already. Most sexually active adults will
have HPV at some time in their lives. Although HPV is common, the health
problems caused by HPV are much less common.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: small;">Condoms may lower your chances of getting HPV or developing
HPV-related diseases, if used with every sex act, from start to finish. You may
want to consider talking to your doctor about being vaccinated against HPV if
you are 26 years or younger. But not having sex is the only sure way to avoid
HPV.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: small;">If your partner has genital warts, you should avoid having sex
until the warts are gone or removed. You can check for any abnormalities on your
penis, such as genital warts. Also, you may want to get checked by a health care
provider for genital warts and other sexually transmitted disease
(STDs).</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What does it mean for our relationship?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-size: small;">A person can have HPV for many years before it is found or
causes health problems. So there is no way to know if your partner gave you HPV,
or if you gave HPV to your partner. HPV should not be seen as a sign that you or
your partner is having sex outside of your relationship.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I just found out I have genital warts …</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />What does it mean for
me and my partner?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: small;">Having genital warts may be hard to cope with, but they are not
a threat to your health. People with genital warts can still lead normal,
healthy lives.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because genital warts may be easily passed on to sex partners,
you should inform them about having genital warts and avoid sexual activity
until the warts are gone or removed. There are ways to protect your partner </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: small;">You and your partner may benefit from getting screened for other
STDs.<br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: small;">If used with every sex act, male latex condoms may lower your chances
of passing genital warts. But HPV can infect areas that are not covered by a
condom—so condoms may not fully protect against HPV.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is important that sex partners discuss their health and risk
for STIs. However, it is not clear if there is any health benefit to informing
future sex partners about a past diagnosis of genital warts because it is not
known how long a person remains contagious after warts are gone. </span></span><br />
