HIV AIDS std/sti education in high schools, colleges, universities, jails and community organizations in Madison, Wisconsin and the United States-HIVictorious

.............................

Dear Friends,

If you haven't met Bob Bowers or heard him speak, you have missed an inspirational man with a profound message for life. At opening ceremonies of AIDS Walk Wisconsin his remarks have energized thousands of people to increase their commitment to the fight against AIDS. He is a wonderful educator and a powerful advocate who exemplifies the new reality that people with HIV disease have the opportunity to live long, healthy and productive lives. I commend Bob to you as a man of the highest integrity whose dedication and leadership are making a big difference in this epic battle against AIDS.

Sincerely,
Doug Nelson
President and CEO

AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin

"By improving the health and lives of our inmate population, ultimately everyone wins," Sheriff Dave Mahoney said in a release announcing the education program.

HIVictorious extends it's heartfelt appreciation to Sheriff Mahoney and his staff for their desire to provide their inmates with vital information about HIV/AIDS. It was beyond an honor to present for two days in the jail!

Youth HIV/AIDS education, prevention, awareness in Madison, Wisconsin and the United States

 
HIVictorious and youth HIV/AIDS educator Bob Bowers have a long history of providing youth HIV/AIDS prevention and education in high schools, colleges, jails and universities. Considering that 2 youth under the age of 25 are infected with HIV every hour in the United States, it is vitally important that teens and young adults have a clear grasp on how to prevent themselves from being infected with HIV, as well as other sexually transmitted infections (STIs or STDs). It is equally important for youth to understand the devastating impact that HIV/AIDS can have in our communities, and the need to eliminate HIV/AIDS stigma in our communities and schools. Mr. Bowers has been living with HIV/AIDS for 25 years and lends his wealth of personal experiences while speaking to diverse audiences about these very real issues. If you would like to consider having us present at your school or organization, please e-mail us by clicking here.

Bob, I just love how you came, and by the looks of it, conquered the school in more ways than one. :-) Your shocking, yet down-to-earth way of presenting really hit home. You have made a lasting impression, and have encouraged several to join you in your fight in HIV awareness and education. Thank you for opening yourself to our students and staff.

It was a true honor to be invited back to speak for World AIDS Day events at Marquette University!

 
   

Thank you Marquette University students for your amazing efforts to educate and raise awareness of HIV/AIDS on campus!

 
"AIDS respects no man, woman or child. It knows no race, religion, class or creed. No community, country or continent is immune from its ravages. Let us resolve that, from this moment on, our response to AIDS must be no less comprehensive, no less relentless and no less swift than the pandemic itself. I was a soldier. But I know of no enemy in war more insidious or vicious than AIDS. In this global war against AIDS, everyone can and must be a leader. Everyone can and must be an ally. We are all vulnerable....We cannot let AIDS divide us. What will historians say of us if we continue to delay? Will history record a fateful moment in our time, on our watch, when action came too late?"

Last weeks class changed my outlook on AIDS and HIV. While the doctor opened my eyes to the world of prescription treatment, Bob Bowers enabled me to see the "real" side of HIV and AIDS. Bob Bowers' incredible presentation of his life story was truly inspirational. His honesty and passion brought this issue to the forefront of my mind. The most important thing I learned from Bob is that HIV is not a death sentence. His strength and his courage are inspiring. I was happy to learn that he will be speaking at the university again after spring break. I will definitely go hear him.

Some facts about HIV/AIDS and the difference between HIV and AIDS
 

What is HIV and how did I get it?

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. The first cases of AIDS were identified in the United States in 1981, but the virus probably existed here and in other parts of the world for many years before that. In 1984, scientists proved that HIV causes AIDS.

Ways you might have gotten HIV:

  • having unprotected sex (sex without a condom) with someone who has HIV
  • sharing a needle to inject drugs or sharing drug works with someone who has HIV
  • having a mother who was infected with HIV when you were born
  • from a blood transfusion (However, it is unlikely you got infected that way because all blood in the United States has been tested for HIV since 1985.)

Ways you did NOT get (and no one else can get) HIV:

  • just working with or being around some one who has HIV
  • being stung or bitten by an insect
  • sitting on toilet seats
  • doing everyday things like sharing a meal

What is the difference between HIV and AIDS?

HIV is the virus that causes the disease AIDS. Although HIV causes AIDS, a person can be infected with HIV for many years before AIDS develops.


When HIV enters your body, it infects specific cells in your immune system. These cells are called CD4 cells or helper T cells. They are important parts of your immune system and help your body fight infection and disease. When your CD4 cells are not working well, you are more likely to get sick.

Usually, CD4 cell counts in someone with a healthy immune system range from 500 to 1,800 per cubic millimeter of blood. AIDS is diagnosed when your CD4 cell count goes below 200. Even if your CD4 cell count is over 200, AIDS can be diagnosed if you have HIV and certain diseases such as tuberculosis or Pneumocystis carinii [NEW-mo-SIS-tis CA-RIN-nee-eye] pneumonia (PCP).

There are general stages of HIV infection that you may go through before AIDS develops.

Infection. The earliest stage is right after you are infected. HIV can infect cells and copy itself before your immune system has started to respond. You may have felt flu-like symptoms during this time.

Response. The next stage is when your body responds to the virus. Even if you don’t feel any different, your body is trying to fight the virus by making antibodies against it. This is called seroconversion, when you go from being HIV negative to HIV positive.

No symptoms. You may enter a stage in which you have no symptoms. This is called asymptomatic infection. You still have HIV and it may be causing damage that you can’t feel.

Symptoms. Symptomatic HIV infection is when you develop symptoms, such as certain infections, including PCP.

AIDS. AIDS is diagnosed when you have a variety of symptoms, infections, and specific test results. There is no single test to diagnose AIDS.


How long does it take to go from HIV infection to a diagnosis of AIDS?

There is no one answer to this question because everyone is different. Estimates of the average length of time for progression from HIV to AIDS are being developed. Before antiretroviral therapy became available in 1996, scientists estimated that AIDS would develop within 10 years in about half the people with HIV. Since 1996, new medical treatments have been developed that can prevent or cure some of the illnesses associated with AIDS, though they cannot cure AIDS itself.

Various factors, including your genetic makeup, can influence the time between HIV infection and the development of AIDS.

Time between HIV infection and AIDS

Shorter

  • older age
  • infection with more than one type of HIV
  • poor nutrition
  • severe stress

Longer

  • closely adhering to your doctor’s recommendations
  • eating healthy foods
  • taking care of yourself

What is clear is that you have some control over the progression of HIV infection.
