GET THE FACTS
WHAT IS HIV/AIDS?
HIV is the virus responsible for the development of AIDS. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a breakdown of the body's defense system resulting with a group of related disorders and symptoms.
HIV/AIDS is transmitted through blood, vaginal secretions, and semen.
HIV/AIDS is spread through sexual intercourse, sharing needles/syringes.
Casual Contact WILL NOT transmit HIV/AIDS.
YOU SHOULD KNOW!
YOU CAN BE TESTED.
1 in 8 KU students have an STD.
1 in 500 college students have HIV infection.
84% of all students are sexually active by the time they graduate.
HIV infection has become the leading cause of death among persons aged 25-44 in the USA.
Women ages 15-24 are now the fastest growing risk group for HIV infection.
You cannot tell if someone is infected by looking at them. AIDS does not discriminate. Anyone who engages in unsafe behaviors is at risk. Anonymous and confidential testing is available through:
Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department 336 Missouri Lawrence, KS 66044 (913)843-0721 (an appointment is necessary)
Watkins Student Health Center University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas 66045 (913)864-9500
Or you can call the CDC National AIDS Hotline 1·800·342·AIDS
THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS IS ALSO A FIGHT AGAINST FEAR, AGAINST PREJUDICE, AND AGAINST IRRATIONAL ACTION BORN OF IGNORANCE... THAT THE WORLD SHOULD MAKE WAR AGAINST AIDS, AND NOT AGAINST PEOPLE WITH AIDS.
