Study Notes

Consent is the permission or agreement for something to happen; it must be clear and informed.
Valid consent must be freely given, reversible, and cannot be based on silent agreement.
Consent must be obtained every time, regardless of prior relationship status.
Actions that respect consent include asking for and receiving clear verbal agreement before proceeding.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Primary transmission methods include sexual contact, sharing needles, and mother-to-child transmission during childbirth or breastfeeding; it is NOT transmitted through casual contact or public toilets.
There is currently no cure for HIV, but it can be effectively managed with proper medical treatment.
A common misconception is that HIV can be transmitted through mosquito bites; it is actually contracted through blood transfusions with infected blood and sharing needles.

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis)

PrEP is a daily pill taken to prevent HIV infection, not a vaccine or antibiotic.
Individuals at high risk, such as those with an HIV-positive partner, should consider taking PrEP.
PrEP is not effective immediately after the first dose; it requires consistent usage for optimal effectiveness.
The recommended frequency for taking PrEP is daily.

PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis)

PEP is a treatment administered after potential exposure to HIV to help prevent infection.
PEP should be started within 72 hours after potential HIV exposure for maximum effectiveness.
PEP must be taken for 28 days, not just 7 days.
PEP involves taking antiretroviral medications and is not 100% effective.

General Knowledge

Both PrEP and PEP serve different purposes but are part of HIV prevention strategies.
Key strategies for preventing the spread of HIV include using condoms during sexual activity; sharing needles is unsafe.
Regular HIV testing is essential for everyone, even individuals not at high risk of infection.
The primary goal of HIV treatment is to manage the virus to undetectable levels while maintaining a healthy immune system, rather than curing the infection completely.
