On January 30, 2003, as part of the sectional sessions of the XI International Christmas Educational Readings, a round table “Participation of the Russian Orthodox Church in the prevention and fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS” was held.
The round table was organized and conducted by the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate/Russian Round Table. About 70 people took part in the Round Table meeting - clergy and laity, representatives of church organizations, brotherhoods and sisterhoods, employees of Russian and international NGOs working in the field of prevention and control of HIV/AIDS, and government organizations. Round table participants represented various regions of Russia and neighboring countries: Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad and the region, Arkhangelsk, Kiev, Bryansk region, Omsk region, Tyumen region, Ryazan, Minsk and the region, Svetlogorsk, Vitebsk and other cities and regions.
The current state of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Russia can be judged by the figures presented to the seminar participants by the representative of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, chief specialist of the HIV/AIDS Prevention Department L.A. Dementieva: as of January 1, 2003, 228,545 HIV-infected people were registered in our country, of which 4,775 were children; 777 AIDS patients, 183 of them children; 578 people died of AIDS, 122 of them children. These are only officially registered cases; the real numbers are several times higher. Recently, there has been a tendency for the number of AIDS patients to rapidly increase, and their mortality rate is increasing.
The following regions are most heavily affected by the epidemic: Moscow and Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Samara region, Sverdlovsk region, Irkutsk region, Vladimir region, Ivanovo region, Orenburg region, Tyumen region.
The number of HIV-infected children, including orphans, has increased. Since 1995, 4,422 children were born to HIV-infected mothers, of which 2,516 were born in 2002; 40% of mothers either do not contact doctors to prevent vertical transmission of HIV infection, or contact them too late.
Although intravenous drug use is still the dominant mode of transmission, the proportion of those infected through heterosexual contact has increased significantly (6% in 2001, 15% in 2002); this means that HIV is beginning to increasingly spread beyond traditional risk groups, spreading to the broadest segments of the population.
The number of detections of HIV-infected people in the Russian Armed Forces has sharply increased - 5,000 military personnel have been commissioned in recent years; The problem of providing them with psychological and social assistance is acute.
During the Round Table meetings, an active discussion took place on the role of the Russian Orthodox Church in the prevention of HIV/AIDS, methods of working with people living with HIV/AIDS, their loved ones, and drug addicts. The Round Table participants shared their existing experience in these areas.
Russian Orthodox Church program for preventing and combating the spread of HIV/AIDS
DECR MP employee M.B. Nelyubova told the Round Table participants about the program of the Russian Orthodox Church to prevent and combat the spread of HIV/AIDS. This program began in 2001 and has two main directions - primary prevention among children and youth and work with people living with HIV/AIDS and their loved ones.
One of the components of the program is the holding of training seminars for clergy and students of theological schools on the problems of spiritual care for HIV-infected people and seminars for church workers on training specialists to work on helplines on HIV/AIDS issues, organizing counseling for HIV-infected people and their loved ones, carrying out multifaceted preventive work among children and youth. Methodological manuals for work in this area are being prepared and published.
The development of a training course and methodological manual for training nurses to care for and patronize AIDS patients is also nearing completion.
An important part of the program is prayers for the health of people living with HIV/AIDS and their loved ones. Such prayer services are held monthly in a number of churches in various cities of Russia and neighboring countries.
As part of the implementation of the program, regular meetings are held between specialists from government and public organizations and church workers to develop mechanisms for cooperation and consolidation of efforts in the field of preventing and combating HIV/AIDS.
An important event was the meeting of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II with the Executive Director of the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Peter Piot, which took place on March 26, 2002. At the meeting it was noted that the positions of the UN and the Russian Orthodox Church on the issues of preventing and combating the spread The HIV/AIDS epidemics overlap to a large extent. Later, a series of working meetings between the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church and the leadership and staff of UNAIDS took place.
On December 24, 2002, a scientific and practical seminar “Theological, ethical, pastoral aspects of the participation of the Russian Orthodox Church in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS” was held in Moscow, organized jointly by the Department for External Church Relations and the Synodal Theological Commission. As a result of this seminar, a working group was formed to prepare a concept for the participation of the Russian Orthodox Church in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS and work with HIV-infected people. The results of the seminar and the creation of a working group were approved by the Holy Synod.
Caring for HIV-infected orphans
Particular attention at the Round Table was paid to the problem of HIV-infected children, especially orphans. The director of the Regional Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital in Ust-Izhora, E.E. Voronin, spoke in detail about the work of his department for HIV-infected pregnant women, where the percentage of births of healthy children from HIV-infected mothers when using special therapy reaches 99%. Unfortunately, the problem of stigmatization and discrimination by society against HIV-infected children and their parents is very acute. Noting the positive experience of working with HIV-positive mothers and children in Ust-Izhora, as well as the experience of cooperation between the hospital administration and the Church, the Round Table participants emphasized the urgent need for spiritual care for such children that still exists in other cities. It was noted that there is no need for specialized orphanages for children born to HIV-infected mothers; it is necessary to include them in the regular social care system and work to find families for adoption.
Pastoral care for HIV-infected prisoners in prisons
A representative of AIDS Infosvyaz LLC, I.V., shared his experience of working in a women’s colony in Mozhaisk. Pchelin. In this colony, special seminars are held for security services, service and medical personnel, psychologists and prisoners (including HIV-infected people). As they work with HIV+ prisoners, they develop a positive attitude towards life, an understanding that life does not end at the moment of receiving a positive diagnosis, that they need to make plans for the future after release; the number of prisoners turning to God is increasing.
Representative of the Christian Interchurch Diaconal Council of St. Petersburg (CMDC) Tatyana Kotova spoke about the interesting experience of working in colonies and detention centers in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, where today there are about 3,000 HIV-infected prisoners. In these colonies, as in many other places of deprivation of liberty, HIV-infected prisoners are kept in special detachments and separate isolated rooms, which makes it impossible for them to communicate with other prisoners. The lack of information about the course, side effects of the disease and ways of spreading the virus gives rise to incredible rumors and causes stigmatization for HIV-infected people themselves and fear for prison staff.
HIV-infected prisoners are prohibited from working in existing industries in many colonies, because It is believed that in the event of a work-related injury or cut, they can infect others. For the same reason, they cannot study in prison educational institutions. Teachers of specialized secondary schools in colonies refuse to come to classes in special detachments for fear of infection.
In St. Petersburg, on the basis of penal colony No. 7 (Yablonevka) and pre-trial detention center No. 1 (Kresty), through the efforts of the St. Petersburg RBOO “IMENA +” with the support of KhMDS, the pilot project “Imena” is being implemented. The goal of the project is to change the quality of life of HIV-infected prisoners and change the attitude towards them on the part of other prisoners and prison staff. As part of the project, small creative workshops have been organized in special detachments to produce souvenirs and other arts and crafts using traditional prison techniques. The finished products are sold, and the proceeds are used to purchase food, medicine, or other necessary items for HIV-infected prisoners. Involved specialists and volunteers regularly conduct consultations and conversations in prisons both with HIV-infected people themselves and with those around them, trying to convey to them information about HIV/AIDS.
Elena Grigorieva, a representative of the Round Table on Interchurch Assistance in the Republic of Belarus, spoke about her experience in providing comprehensive assistance to HIV-infected women released from prison. Currently, such work is being carried out in the Minsk and Gomel regions, and its expansion is planned.
Work with these women begins in the colony and continues after their release. The women's colony conducts specialized training on HIV issues for prisoners and colony staff. After release, social support is provided for former prisoners - assistance in finding housing and employment. Former prisoners receive legal advice, medical care and spiritual care, and their leisure activities are organized.
Rehabilitation residents are invited to participate in seminars and meetings to create new social connections. The “Lestvitsa” rehabilitation center has recently opened, where there is a workshop for sewing national clothes, this provides employment for former prisoners and provides partial self-financing for the center.
Preventive anti-AIDS work among children and adolescents
Preventive work among children and youth is considered one of the most important areas of anti-AIDS activity in both government and church organizations.
Representative of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation I.V. Govorova made a report on state programs for the prevention of HIV infection. Much attention is now being paid to the creation of experimental centers for working with youth (there are currently 14 such centers). The “peer-to-peer” method is a very effective method in preventive work - a form of work of young volunteers with their peers. However, the poor development of primary prevention remains alarming, especially in regions remote from the center.
To solve this problem, federal competitions are being held to identify high-quality technologies for primary prevention among adolescents. This year, 170 applications for support and funding from the federal budget were submitted to this competition. Unfortunately, only one of them was represented by an Orthodox organization.
Meanwhile, the Church can play a significant role in preventive work among children and youth. In contrast to existing “preventive” programs for exchanging syringes, distributing condoms and advertising “safe sex”, the Church must actively promote a moral lifestyle, using all possible means for this - sermons, classes in Sunday and secondary schools, appearances in the media, etc. d.
An example of positive cooperation between secular and church organizations is the “Save and Preserve” program of the Orthodoxy and Education Center (Moscow) and the Moscow Rescue Service. Within the framework of this program, an integrated approach to the problem of prevention is being implemented - in addition to working directly with teenagers (rallies, camps, trainings, joint activities), work is also carried out with their parents.
Another preventive program is currently being developed at KhMDS. The program includes comprehensive preventive work among teachers, psychologists, students and their parents. Several schools in St. Petersburg will become the base sites for the implementation of this program.
An interesting development by the St. Petersburg Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS and Infectious Diseases and the State Electrotechnical University was brought to the attention of the Round Table participants - a computer game encyclopedia “Anti-AIDS” on CD. The encyclopedia is produced in two versions: for primary schoolchildren and for teenagers. Its task is to instill in young people a desire for a healthy lifestyle and to instill the skills of safe behavior in the context of the AIDS epidemic. The encyclopedia can be used by teachers and physicians in the educational process and during preventive and educational work among young people.
Church rehabilitation centers
Hieromonk Diomede, a resident of the Kazan Mother of God Ploshchanskaya Hermitage, spoke about the experience of the church rehabilitation center. On the territory of this monastery there has been a rehabilitation program for drug addicts for more than 6 years, and for the last 3 years - for HIV-infected people.
The very atmosphere of monastic life, the spirit of obedience, prayer and good deeds has a very beneficial effect on everyone who enters the monastery, which is why rehabilitation is most successful in the monastery. The rehabilitation of drug addicts in the monastery is understood not just as a return to the life of society, but, above all, as the restoration of the image of God in a person.
HIV-infected children are not separated into separate groups - everyone always lives together. HIV-positive rehabilitators, unlike others, are determined to change themselves, so all recovery processes proceed more quickly, and the impact of the psychological trauma caused by a fatal diagnosis is felt.
At the same time, 10-15 people are undergoing rehabilitation at the monastery - with different periods of addiction and different personal characteristics. About 20-30% of them are HIV-infected. A year is the usual period for rehabilitation in this monastery. During this time, a person manages to change for the better. In total, about 100 people completed the rehabilitation program at the monastery.
Positive experience of working with drug addicts and HIV-infected people also exists in other monasteries. There are also Orthodox rehabilitation communities, under the spiritual care of priests and usually located outside the city, where the rehabilitators live for a certain time - from 3 months to 1 year, sometimes longer.
The work of church rehabilitation centers is very effective: the percentage of remission in them is several times higher than in ordinary secular rehabilitation centers.
Activities of the Church Anti-AIDS Network
The Church Anti-AIDS Network unites 4 Round Tables that implement anti-AIDS programs in Russia and the CIS:
- Russian Round Table/Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate
- Round table on interchurch assistance in the Republic of Belarus
- Christian Interchurch Diaconal Council of St. Petersburg
- Coordinating Committee for Interchurch Assistance in Ukraine
Each Round Table coordinates its program of activities with its church hierarchy, to which it is subordinate, and implements projects in its region (respectively in Ukraine, Belarus, in the north-west of the Russian Federation - KhMDS, the rest of the Russian Federation - RKS). Collaboration within this network aims at practical coordination of work to improve efficiency and avoid duplication, as well as joint development of topics of common interest (e.g. palliative care, adolescent programs, work with HIV-infected prisoners in prisons , projects with HIV-infected children, training seminars for students of theological schools, development and publication of materials on this issue, etc.).
Meetings of network members are held quarterly on various issues of church work in the field of preventing and combating HIV/AIDS.
Opportunities for cooperation between the Russian Orthodox Church and secular organizations working in this area
During the meeting, the prospects for cooperation between the Church and government (such as the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, etc.) and public organizations working in the field of prevention and control of HIV/AIDS were widely discussed.
All participants of the Round Table emphasized the importance and necessity of continuing the work of the Russian Orthodox Church in the prevention and fight against HIV/AIDS and drug addiction. All representatives of secular organizations expressed great interest in this.
Alarming statistics - every five minutes a new case of infection occurs in Russia. How to stay healthy and what to do if diagnosed?
This is scary to learn about, it is not common to share, and it is difficult to accept. Svetlana found out that she had HIV at the age of 20 - she contracted it from her boyfriend. First love from a fairy tale turned into a nightmare. Life became more of an expectation of death. But contrary to forecasts, the woman has been living with the virus for 17 years.
“Internally, I understood that this could not continue. Something needs to be done, somehow we need to continue living. I created a self-help group for people like me. Having already had some experience of living with HIV, I could tell them how to do the right thing and not remain in the same state as me for a long time,” says Svetlana Tsukanova.
She admits: at that time she simply didn’t know anything about the virus, and do you really think about the bad when you’re young? And so that there are fewer stories like Svetlana’s, and more people who know about HIV, at the First Medical University. Sechenov held an open lesson for students from all over Russia.
“In 2016, our country was practically on the verge of an epidemic. At present, the situation remains very difficult. Today, the number of infected people is more than 900 thousand people,” noted Svetlana Medvedeva.
More than half of those infected were infected through blood. Most often, these are drug injections. But HIV infection is often caused by seemingly ordinary things: piercings, tattoos, a trip to the dentist, even a manicure done with poorly processed instruments. Another 40% received positive status through sexual contact. And about 2% is transmission of the virus from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. At the same time, the Ministry of Health notes a sharp decrease in the number of new infections.
“We have received the first pre-clinical results on genome editing based on CRISPR technologies, and we see already at the animal level, at the pre-clinical level, that HIV can be completely cured. Therefore, the results of scientific research give some optimism,” said Russian Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova.
Doctors remind again and again that it is impossible to become infected through hugging or kissing, or sharing utensils or clothing. Mosquito bites are also safe.
The problem remains the so-called HIV dissidents - people who know about their diagnosis, but ignore treatment. But if you don’t start taking the medicine on time, after 10-12 years the immunodeficiency virus goes into the last stage - AIDS, when the body cannot cope even with a common cold.
There are no more risk groups - the virus threatens everyone. Every five minutes there is one more HIV patient in our country. In the Samara, Leningrad, Kemerovo, and Tyumen regions, every hundredth person has the virus. In Yekaterinburg, in general, every 50th person is sick. And these are only confirmed cases. About 40% of people are unaware of their diagnosis.
You can take an HIV test free of charge and anonymously in almost any clinic or hospital. And this week you can do a quick analysis even on the way to work or school in such mobile laboratories - they operate near the metro and shopping centers. 15 minutes - and you have no doubt about your status.
And once is not enough. It should become a habit, like going to the dentist. HIV is a tricky virus and may not manifest itself in any way for up to six months.
Over the next seven days, lectures, round tables, and consultations will be held throughout the country. The main event will be the marathon in Kazan, where thousands of people will run in memory of those who died from AIDS.
BOU of Omsk “Gymnasium No. 139”
Round table on the topic
"AIDS is a mortal threat to humanity"
Biology teacher: Milskaya Tatyana Viktorovna
Round table on the topic “AIDS is a mortal threat to humanity”
Goal: to instill in students the behavioral skills necessary to prevent HIV infection.
Lesson format: round table using interactive techniques.
Work in groups. 2 tables for 6-8 people.
During the classes
1. Teacher's speech. Introduction.
Preliminary survey “PRE-test”.
2. Since AIDS vaccines and completely reliable medicines are not yet available, accurate information and health education play a vital role in preventing infection.
Exercise No. 1 “Brain attack.”
What do you know about HIV/AIDS?
Answer options are written on a flip chart with markers.
Then the teacher explains to the students that HIV/AIDS is one of the most important and tragic problems that arose before all humanity at the end of the twentieth century and entered the twentieth century with us! Century. Today, HIV is spreading throughout the world, and Russia is no exception.
HIV/AIDS is a disease that is common throughout the world.
Exercise No. 2 “Role play”.
Purpose: to show how quickly HIV/AIDS spreads.
Progress of the game:
All students are asked to stand in a circle, hold hands and close their eyes. After this, the teacher approaches the students from behind and selects 3 students who will play the role of HIV-infected people and must keep this a secret. The teacher invites students to open their eyes and shake hands with everyone, and the participants whom he has identified (playing the role of HIV-infected people) must pinch or scratch other participants when shaking hands.
The teacher brings the 3 participants whom he has identified to the middle and asks to raise the hands of those participants who were greeted and who were pinched or scratched by the participants standing in the center.
In this game, a handshake symbolizes the transmission of HIV infection, although in fact, it is not transmitted through a handshake. Persons who use intravenous drugs and practice unprotected (risky) sex infect others along the chain, and this process goes very quickly, as the children could clearly see.
Exercise No. 3 “work in groups”
Purpose: Discuss how the HIV/AIDS epidemic is spreading.
How can the spread of the HIV/AIDS epidemic affect the life of each individual person and the entire society as a whole?
The results of the discussion are written down on a piece of paper. Then each group presents the results of their work, for which they elect one student leader.
Exercise 4. Test “Myth or reality”
Students are asked to divide into small groups and, in order to consolidate the material covered, fill out the test:
Question Myth (m) Reality (r) Rationale
HIV/AIDS is a harmless, easily treatable disease and AIDS is a very dangerous, incurable disease.
People never die from AIDS. m All people with AIDS die. Their lifespan is 5-10 years
HIV/AIDS is widespread throughout the world. Today there are people living with HIV and AIDS in all countries of the world.
There are no HIV-infected people or people with AIDS in Russia m In Russia, there are officially registered _ HIV-infected people and _ people with AIDS
Adolescents and young people can never become infected with HIV/AIDS m More than 50% of HIV infections in Russia occur among adolescents and young people aged 15 to 29 years
A person needs knowledge about HIV/AIDS pA person needs knowledge about HIV/AIDS in order to make an informed choice of behavior that eliminates the risk of contracting this disease
In the coming years, the number of HIV/AIDS diseases will sharply decrease. Scientists believe that in the next 20 years, 7 million people in the world will die from AIDS. No one can protect themselves from HIV/AIDS. You can protect yourself from HIV/AIDS by choosing a line of safe behavior.
There is no cure for HIV/AIDS. A cure for HIV/AIDS has not yet been invented in the world and this is not expected in the foreseeable future.
An individual suffers from AIDS; AIDS does not affect the development of society as a whole; HIV/AIDS is a problem of the entire society as a whole; it negatively affects the socio-economic development of each country.

AIDS is not a rare disease that only a few people will be affected by. Leading experts currently define AIDS as a “global health crisis”, as the first truly non-worldwide epidemic
an infectious disease that is still not controlled by medicine and from which every person who becomes infected dies.
Experts believe that it will take 8 to 20 years to create a vaccine. During the time that has passed since the first cases of AIDS were described, there has not been a single case of recovery from this disease. All carriers of the causative agent of this disease are potentially sick.
Exercise No. 5 “Degree of risk”
Each training participant is offered a test. Then the participants form pairs and discuss the answers, then the pairs form fours and continue to discuss the results.

Kiss on the cheek +
Deep kiss (kiss with tongue penetration) + Sharing utensils +

Ear piercing with non-sterile instruments + Human body fluids through which HIV can be transmitted:
- blood
- seminal fluid
- vaginal secretion
- mother's milk.
Virus can also be found in other liquids (urine, sweat, saliva), but its concentration there is very low and insufficient for infection. High concentration in cerebrospinal fluid, but it is not dangerous because it does not leak.
In order for infection to occur, the fluids of an HIV-infected or AIDS patient, in which the concentration of the virus is sufficient for infection, must enter the bloodstream of a healthy person.
There is no reason to isolate people infected with HIV. On the contrary, these people need support and understanding. With HIV infection there is no need for quarantine measures. AIDS is not a plague at all. Comparing AIDS to the plague fuels hysteria and medieval fear of infection, and promotes discrimination and isolation of people with HIV.
I am a virus, born in Africa, - As many minds claim. My long path, well-trodden through life, I walk with impudence, I am worse than war. But the AIDS solution Depends only on the people. There is protection, and only neglect saves me, making me stronger During sexual intercourse, I am active. A barrier made of latex is like paralysis to me. Tenacious in the blood, extremely productive, I destroy everything, I am just HIV, Immunodeficiency is a disease of the century. Experts have been struggling with this for a long time. While ignorance and sloppiness of man I am allowed to develop and grow To a child with milk and maternal blood I can calmly cross I am not responsible for my health,
And since I came, I can’t handle philanthropy. I wanted to talk about a lot about the dead and those who are HIV positive. All humanity living above God is subject to me: be a king or an inveterate scourge.
There is no vow against temptation, Just as there is no fence against vice. Do not allow yourself to take risky practices, Whether you are a comedian or a tragedian. Many moments pass from rash decisions to contracting HIV. Be led not by passion, but by your mind.
In conclusion: relaxation “we are who we are”

"Prevention of HIV infection"
Executor:
Ukhanova Yu.V.
December 2015
Target:
Raising the level of awareness of adolescents on issues related to HIV/AIDS.
Objectives of the lesson: 1. Find out the initial level of awareness of adolescents on the problem.2. Provide reliable information about the routes of HIV transmission, HIV testing, safe behavior, and opportunities to prevent infection.3. Check the level of information absorption.
4. Formation of motivation to maintain health.
Progress of the lesson.
Greetings. Participants' expectations.
Hello, I'm glad to see you here. I propose to begin our work. During the lesson we will work together, sitting in a circle, because this makes it easier to see each other and discuss important issues. Let's say hello to each other.
Exercise "Greetings"
Now I suggest you break into 4 small groups according to the principle: winter, spring, summer, autumn. The task of each group is to answer the question: “Why did you come to this seminar?”, “What do you want to learn at this seminar?”, “What do you expect from the seminar?”, “What do you think will happen here?” (Collection of expectations)
Acceptance of group rules.
In order for the work of our group to achieve its goals, it is necessary that we are not distracted by trifles, so that each of us can freely express our thoughts. Without fear of ridicule. Any activity needs to be streamlined, so I, as a presenter, propose several rules..
1. The right of the speaker.
It is rare to meet a person who feels joy when he is interrupted. The world has lost many brilliant ideas, nipped in the bud. To prevent this from happening at our training, let's agree that anyone speaking has the right to be listened to to the end. And only after he has expressed his thoughts can debate and discussion begin.
2. Raised hand rule.
This rule is a continuation of the previous one. It serves two purposes: the first is to avoid interrupting the speaker. The second is so that the smart thoughts that come to mind during the work do not disappear. The “overshadowed” participant raises his hand, and when the opportunity arises, the leader gives him the floor.
3. Confidentiality.
This rule protects any participant and presenter from gossip and gossip. All personal information. Posted about yourself or another person in the group is private. After all, they told it only to the group, and not to the whole city.
4. “Don’t judge”
We often break this important rule in life. We consider ourselves to have the right to condemn and evaluate other people’s actions, words, and habits. Here we do not evaluate other people, their opinions, appearance, but accept them as they are.
5. The right of the presenter.
I, as a facilitator, can interrupt an exercise or other group activity if it interferes with the group process. I will also ensure that the rules adopted by the group are followed.
6. Activity
All participants must be active. Relevance of the problem. Assessing the level of awareness. Do you think the problem of HIV infection is relevant for our region? Are there any HIV-infected people in our area?
How many are there?
Is this a lot or a little?
Exercise “Sheet with a secret”
Also, unnoticed, in a pleasant environment, the spread of HIV infection occurs in society. People meet, have fun, spend time together, love each other, and often do not think about the fact that someone may be infected.
Therefore, does this problem concern you and me? Is it necessary to talk about this problem in our time? Why is this necessary?
Do you think young people living in our city are well informed about HIV infection?
Information block.
Absolutely right. Some people know everything about HIV infection, some have little information, and some know nothing. About what HIV/AIDS is; why can it live only in the human body; how this disease is transmitted and develops; where and how you can find out if you are infected; What are the ways to prevent HIV infection, I will try to tell you today in our lesson.
Let's start with definitions: what are HIV and AIDS? HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus.
HIV refers to infections that live only in the human body. HIV cannot be outside the human body. When exposed to air, it, like a jellyfish, loses the ability to move and is destroyed almost instantly. To be more precise, the virus is not able to move on its own at all. The only place where this virus feels good and has the ability to move is in human body fluids. We now know that HIV is a human immunodeficiency virus.
And immunodeficiency is the loss of the body’s ability to resist any infections and restore damage to its organs. In addition, with immunodeficiency, the process of renewal of the body slows down or even stops.
AIDS is an acquired immune deficiency syndrome. It is a collection of certain symptoms indicating that the immune system is severely damaged. The very concept of “AIDS” is an artificial medical term and is necessary for doctors to do so. To identify those patients whose condition is particularly severe and therefore requires greater attention. According to statistics, not everyone who is infected with HIV develops AIDS. A significant proportion of those infected die before they develop AIDS. The cause of death in this case can be heart attacks, strokes, drug overdoses, complications of hepatitis (cirrhosis and liver cancer).
Scientists believe that the first cases of AIDS occurred in the USA, Haiti, and Africa in the mid-70s. Although, of course, it all started much earlier, and the virus did not fall to us from the sky. It is very difficult to draw conclusions only on the basis of the notes of doctors who did not even imagine what they were dealing with, and those patients were either already dead or “lost.” To this day, no one knows for sure about the origin of this disease.
In the USSR, the first cases of AIDS were identified among foreign African students. Students in Soviet universities. In 1987, the first case of AIDS in a citizen of the country was officially announced in the Soviet Union.
A year earlier, in 1986, the first specialized department was opened in Moscow to provide medical care to HIV-infected and AIDS patients. In the beginning, his patients were foreigners. And by the end of 1987, among the patients of this department there were 24 citizens of the USSR.
1989 is perhaps the most dramatic moment in the development of the epidemic in our country. In 1996, the spread of HIV in Russia acquired the character of a geometric progression (explosion). The main route of transmission of the virus was not sexual contact and medical procedures, but intravenous drug administration. New cases of infection began to number not in tens, but in thousands.
According to the Federal Service for Surveillance of Consumer Rights and Human Welfare, over 350 thousand cases of HIV infection have been registered in the Russian Federation, with more than 80% occurring in persons aged 15 to 30 years.
Today, according to statistical data, the picture of HIV infection in the country, in the Chelyabinsk region and in our city is as follows:
As of May 2010, there were officially 380–400 thousand people living with HIV in the Russian Federation.
Including:
in Moscow – 20 thousand people
in the Chelyabinsk region - 16 thousand people
in Chelyabinsk – 10 thousand people
in Snezhinsk – 250 people.
There are 15 thousand HIV-infected adolescents aged 15-18 years in Russia.
How is HIV infection transmitted?
There are 3 main transfer methods:
1. through blood;
2. through sexual intercourse;
3. through mother's breast milk to the baby.
How long can a person with HIV infection live?
HIV infection is a long-term disease. From the moment of infection to the moment of death, it can take from 2-3 to 10-15 years. Naturally, these are average figures. In each individual case, many factors influence the life expectancy of someone infected with HIV. AIDS is the last stage of the disease “HIV infection”. Typically this stage lasts from several months to 2-3 years.
How does a person with AIDS feel?
Here are the most common consequences of a person developing AIDS:
Constantly feeling unwell;
High likelihood of physical deformity due to exhaustion and skin damage due to infections;
High likelihood of visual and brain impairment;
Complete or partial loss of self-sufficiency (need for care).
Having become acquainted with HIV infection and AIDS, try to answer me the following question: how can you not become infected with HIV infection? (Children's answers.)
HIV cannot be transmitted through:
* Door handles
* Common areas
*I'm going
* Dishes
* Shower, bathhouse, swimming pool
* Bites of blood-sucking insects
* Kissing and touching
Tell me: are HIV and AIDS the same thing? (Children's answers) Now we will find out whether you answered the question correctly. HIV and AIDS are not the same thing. A person becomes infected with HIV, and then this virus, which is transmitted only from person to person, gradually destroys the immune system. When the body is practically unable to resist the simplest diseases, the last stage of HIV infection occurs - AIDS.
The stage of acquiring practical skills. Each student pulls out a piece of paper with a number. Thus, the class is divided into 3 groups.
Brainstorming “What can be done to make a person change his behavior to a safer one?”
Now each group needs to answer the question that you see on the screen.
After the groups speak, a general discussion takes place. Conclusion: it is very difficult to change a person’s behavior using pressure and intimidation. It is important that a person makes this decision on his own. I would also like to say that you do not expose yourself to unnecessary risks.
Take care of yourself and others!
Shutdown.
Receiving feedback.
Our lesson ends. During the lesson we discussed very important issues related to HIV infection and AIDS. For such a complex topic, this is not a lot of time.
