HIV testing expected to increase in Lawrence
Watkins and health department offer free screening options
By Kerrie Gottschalk
Kansan staff writer
After Magic Johnson announced last week that he had tested positive for HIV, local health officials predicted an increase in the demand for HIV testing at the University of Kansas and in Lawrence.
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said he already had seen an increase.
Watkins had several patients walk in Friday and request to be tested, Yoyo.
"I think we have done more today than we have all month," he said Friday.
Johnson, who played as a guard for the Los Angeles Lakers for 12 seasons, announced Thursday that he was retiring from basketball because he
had tested positive for HIV, the virus that precedes AIDS. Johnson led the Lakers to five NBA championships.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department reported that requests for HIV testing had not increased on Friday.
"I do think there will be an increase in the near future," said Kay Kent, director of the health department. "I don't anticipate any situation, we were seeing an increase."
Health department statistics reveal a 39-percent increase in HIV tests administered in July, August and September of 1991 compared to the same months in 1990. October's statistics were not immediately available.
The health department provides HIV testing to the public in which patients do not have to give their real names, Kent said. She said patients
received pre- and post-test counseling appointments and receive test results within two weeks.
Blood samples are tested for free by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment in Topeka, Kent said.
Students can be tested two ways at Watkins, Yockey said.
Watkins performs anonymous testing, which is done the same way as the health department's testing.
However, appointments for anonymous testing at Watkins are booked through the middle of the spring semester. Yocke said.
The other form of testing is confidential testing. Patients can walk in and request to have an HIV test. The other form of testing results are returned within five days.
Confidential testing requires that
personal information be given, but Yockey said the results of the confidential test could not be revealed to us thus the patient signed a release form.
"We do have HIV-positive students who know it and who are being treated for it," said Janine Demo, coordinator Kinsigh's health education department.
She said from 50 to 60 KU students probably were HIV-positive if national statistics that reported that one in every 500 college students had HIV were accurate.
Watkins' health education department provides pamphlets and brochures about HIV testing and AIDS, and health educators also are available to answer student questions, Demo said.
Spectrum of HIV infection
Being infected with HIV is not the same as having AIDS. HIV causes a spectrum of conditions and symptoms.
Infected No symptoms Mild symptoms AIDS
- The scientific name for HIV is human immunodeficiency virus.
- AIDS is the most severe, life-threatening form of HIV. AIDS attacks the body's immune system and decreases the body's defense against infection. People with AIDS develop a group of related symptoms and disorders, such as cancer or pneumonia.
- On the average, it takes about 10 years from the time HIV is diagnosed to the time when serious symptoms develop.
- HIV may progress slowly or quickly along the spectrum of HIV infection.
- Anti-viral drug therapy can slow significantly the progression of HIV.

needed some help with the varsity," Turgeon said.
Czapinski has practiced with the varsity team to make up for the loss of two guards.
Freshman Calvin Rayford was declared academically ineligible this summer when he failed to score the NCAA required minimum of 18 on the ACT. Senior Sean Tunstall was suspended in October for violations of unspecified team rules.
Cazpliksi suited up for the team's "Late Night" practice, but Turgeon said it had not been decided whether or not Cazpliksi would wear the varsity when the regular season began.
"He's struggled a little in practice, but anyone would go up against Adonis Jordan," Turgeon said. "He's done a great job of holding his own."
Turpeon said Gzapiinski's progress was an indicator of the improvement the junior var-
"We want to do even better than last year," Robertson said. "This year's schedule is a little bit tough, but this might be the last year of the junior varsity team."
"I think we've gotten to the point where we expect to win," he said. "There's not a team on the schedule we can't beat. Weidn't have that feeling three years ago."
The junior varsity's first game will be against Highland Junior College on Nov. 23 at Allen Field Game. The game will precede the senior game against Maryland-Baltimore County.
