3. How is it transmitted?
4. Does the risk of transmission vary?
5. Can you know when a person got infected?
6. Is lengthy pretest counselling needed before a test is done?
7.How is HIV treated?
8. Can it be cured?
9. What is the life expectancy?
10. What about a vaccine and is there hope?
How many people are affected?
 Globally 34 million PLHAs, 1.7M deaths a year, 2.5M new
infections a year
 15 million eligible for treatment and 8 million on treatment.
 24 million cases in Africa
 5% adult prevalence in Cameroon (2011) – 900000 PLHA
 UK – 70000 PLHA
 No. Of new cases and deaths
Falling due to success of treatment
1. What is the difference b/w HIV and
AIDS?
Not the same thing but related. AIDS is a stage of
HIV infection.
NOT ALL HIV INFECTION = AIDS
Most people with HIV have no symptoms
2. Origin? Jump from chimpanzees to
humans - SIV

Terms and Conditions
3. How is HIV transmitted?
 Unprotected sex – 70% of infections
 Mother to child transmission – mum must be positive –
during pregnancy, at birth or during breastfeeding!
 Intravenous drug use – sharing needles
 Blood transfusion and other blood products
 Medical equipment
Mother to child transmission
30% risk of transmission reduced to <2% with ARVS
How is HIV not transmitted?
 Cutlery
 Mosquitoes
 Kissing
 Hugging
4. Does the risk of transmission vary?
 Varies depending on
 Positive person
 Negative person
 Route of transmission
 Sex 3/1000 but can happen with first contact
 Transmission to women easier
 IV drug user high risk
5. Can you know when a person acquired
the infection?
 No but can guess!!!

Development of AIDS is like an
impending train wreck
Viral Load = Speed of the train
CD4 count = Distance from cliff

6. Is lengthy pretest counselling
needed?
 An HIV test is a routine test!!!
7. How is HIV treated and it is
effective?

Many drugs available and more in development – outlook is good!
Treatment & Treatment as prevention
Most patients on one or two tablets a day!

8. What is life expectancy like?
 We don’t know for sure however we have estimates....
 HIV survival similar to other chronic diseases!
 Life expectancy at 25 years diagnosis estimated to be 70
years
9. What about a cure?
10. What about a vaccine?
 Problem is variability of the virus!!!
 Stays one step ahead of immune system!!!
What are challenges?
 Early diagnosis
 Access to treatment in developing countries
