- Knowing AIDS facts. :
can stop it spreading

Did you know that
AIDS is a disease which causes
major concern for many people
around. the world, including
British.Columbians in the Nor-
thwest.. By learning the facts
about AIDS we can help to pre-
vent its spread and avoid un-
necessary anxiety.

AIDS
Human : [mmunodeficiency
Virus (HIV). This. virus attacks
the immune system. The im-
mune system is the body's
defense system against infec-
tions. AIDS is the most severe
stage of HIV infection. The im-
mune system is so weak that
fatal infections and cancers ap-
pear. Some common diseases
are Kaposi’s Sarcoma (a rare
skin cancer), Pneumocystis
Carinii Pneumonia (PEP) and
brain infections,

When HIV infection starts
there may be no obvious symp-
toms. The person may appear
healthy for months or even
years, People with HIV may not
know they have it. These people
may be™ spreading the virus to
others.

There is a blood test available
to detect antibodies to HIV. If
the blood test shows antibodies
to HIV, the. person has been in-

tibodies to be detected on the
blood test. Early on in a HIV in-
fection, the person may have a
negative antibody test, even
though they are infected and in-
fectious.

How does a person become
infected? The most common
methods of spread are:

* sexual activity with a HIV
infected person

x sharing hypodermic needles
or syringes for injectin illicit
drugs

* frora an infected mother to
her baby, before or during
birth.

Far less common methods of
spread include through transfu-
sions of blood or blood pro-
ducts, accidental contact with
infected blood or body fluids by
health care workers, organ
transplants and sperm dona-
tions. Spread through these
means is extremely rare because
of donor screenings and univer-
sal precautions taken by health
