How to Survive a Plague—HIV Education Video Assignment
name______________________________

The documentary video you will view for part of this assignment covers the HIV epidemic from about
the years 1987-1996. It highlights the activism that led to the development of drug treatments to prolong
life. It also shows personal stories of the activists. DISCLOSURE--you will see and hear the following:
AIDS patients, homosexuals (sometimes engaged in kissing), cursing and other derogatory language and
words, a protest inside of a church. Please suspend any judgments you have until after you see the entire
video. The video does start loudly, but then settles down.

1. FIRST, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website to find the following
information. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/default.html Search in the HIV Basics section. Answer in brief
one sentence responses.

List the ways HIV is transmitted (spread from person-to-person).
HIV is transmitted from one person to another through various ways form one person to another which
include;
HIV can be transmitted through sex, either anal or vaginal sex, by having sex with HIV positive
without protection.
HIV can be transmitted from mother to baby in any period of pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding, and
this type of transmission is referred to as perinatal transmission and is the only ordinary way a child gets HIV.
HIV can also be transmitted from the infected person to another through sharing syringes, needles, and
other equipment used for drug injecting as these tools may end up having the blood of the infected person.
HIV can also be transmitted through oral sex by putting the penis or vagina, or anus in the mouth.

Additionally, HIV can also be transmitted in the workplace if anyone is stuck by using a contaminated
needle or use of a sharp item.
Tattooing and body piercings can also lead to transmission of HIV if the equipment which is used to
pierce the body in the process contacted the blood infected with the virus.

List the prevention methods for these five categories—sexual transmission, IV drugs use, mother-tochild transmission, protecting others when you are HIV-positive, other prevention methods.
Transmission of HIV can be prevented by using condoms when having sex, as the condom
effectively prevents the disease. Additionally, the most effective way of preventing transmission of HIV is
through abstaining, which 100% is preventing.
When using drug injection, prevention of transmission of HIV is effective by not sharing needles,
syringes, and other equipment used to inject the drug. Usage of new and clean syringes when injecting is
the best way of preventing transmission.
Transmission of HIV from mother to child can be prevented by the mother diagnosing the disease
and being administered medication, which will prevent the transmission to the baby (Juhas & Kerr 2020).
The mother should be provided with the PrEP before getting pregnant, during pregnancy, and when
breastfeeding. After delivering, the mother should not breastfeed the baby as the milk contains HIV.
Protection of others when someone is HIV positive can be done through getting care as well as
taking medicine which is helpful in the treatment of HIV. The medicine used to treat HIV is called ART
which reduces the amount of HIV in the individual blood.
If someone is exposed to transmission and getting HIV, a prevention medicine called PEP is
supposed to be administered 72 hours after the exposure, and the prescribed PEP should then be taken daily
for 28 days.

What is PrEP vs. PEP? In what situations are these used?
Pre-exposure prophylaxis is a medicine taken by people to prevent them from the risk of getting and
prevent HIV through sex as well as an injection when using a drug. PrEP is effective for preventing HIV
infection.

PEP, which means post-exposure prophylaxis, is a medicine to prevent one from getting HIV only after recent
exposure to the disease. PEP is administered before 72 hours are over from the time of exposure to be effective
and then taken daily for 28 days.

2. List at least two of the activist organizations that were formed during this time.

The ACT UP movement was aimed at bringing attention to the HIV pandemic.

The Catholic Church also addressed the pandemic of HIV as the church provided pastoral care to the people
infected with HIV and medical care.

3. What types of discrimination could HIV+ individuals face during the period covered in the documentary?
Make sure at least one example is related to the healthcare setting.

According to the documentary, people living with HIV face discrimination more so in a health care
setting as the people have been barred from assessment to health services as well as enjoyment of health care
services which is quality (DEMUS, 2017). People living with HIV always face poor treatment in health
sectors. Additionally, the people have limited access to testing HIV and its treatment and also HIV services.
People living with HIV are discriminated against through prediction, being treated with negative
attitudes, and being abused directly in work, school, and healthcare centers.
