BACKGROUND: Educational media is a very important component as a means of interaction, one of which is audiovisual media. Health education through audiovisual media, I am proud I know (ABAT) is expected to be able to increase knowledge comprehensively about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIM: This study aimed to determine the effect of ABAT audiovisual media on HIV and AIDS knowledge of school adolescents in Makassar City. METOHDS: The research design uses quasi experimental approach with the design of the nonequivalent control group design. Sampling using a random sampling technique, as many as 96 adolescents. RESULTS: The results showed that the majority of respondents were in the age group of 17 years (49%), female sex (52%), and grade 12 level (51%). Based on the results of the Mann–Whitney U Test, there were differences in knowledge before and after the intervention of ABAT audiovisual media playback with a frequency of playback three times and once in the intervention group and the control group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: There are significant differences in adolescent knowledge about HIV and AIDS before and after the intervention. ABAT audiovisual media with playback frequency 3 times are more effective than once. Some comparison of counseling media is needed in order to better know the effectiveness of a media. Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of ABAT audiovisual media on the knowledge of school adolescents can significantly improve HIV and AIDS before and after the intervention is given three times and one in Makassar City.

Acquired Immune Deficiency

There has been a professed fear about having a coworker with AIDS. The workers feel threatened, the customers and clients boycott, and the employers are faced with numerous decisions, both morally and legally. The Harkin-Humphrey Amendment, which amended the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, has made it illegal to discriminate against employees or job applicants with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). With this in mind, the Tennessee government offices are making strident efforts to educate and protect its citizens and workers from discrimination and harassment in regards to HIV and AIDS.

Although acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was first described in the USA in 1981, there is evidence that individual cases occurred considerably earlier in Central Africa, and serological and virological data show human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was present in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as far back as 1959. It is likely that HIV–1 infection in humans was established from cross–species transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus of chimpanzees, but the circumstances surrounding this zoonotic transfer are uncertain. This presentation will review how causality is established in epidemiology, and review the evidence (a putative ecological association) surrounding the hypothesis that early HIV–1 infections were associated with trials of oral polio vaccine (OPV) in the DRC. From an epidemiological standpoint, the OPV hypothesis is not supported by data and the ecological association proposed between OPV use and early HIV/AIDS cases is unconvincing. It is likely that Africa will continue to dominate global HIV and AIDS epidemiology in the near to medium–term future, and that the epidemic will evolve over many decades unless a preventive vaccine becomes widely available.

Nutrition is a fundamental intervention in the early and ongoing treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Nutrition therapy, in coordination with other medical interventions, can extend and improve the quality and quantity of life in individuals infected with HIV and living with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The author reviews the current literature and practice for nutrition use in the treatment of patients with HIV and AIDS.

The subtypes of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV–1) group M exhibit a remarkable similarity in their between–subtype distances, which we refer to as high synchrony. The shape of the phylogenetic tree of these subtypes is referred to as a sunburst to distinguish it from a simple star phylogeny. Neither a sunburst pattern nor a comparable degree of symmetry is seen in a natural process such as in feline immunodeficiency virus evolution. We therefore have undertaken forward–process simulation studies employing coalescent theory to investigate whether such highly synchronized subtypes could be readily produced by natural Darwinian evolution. The forward model includes both classical (macro) and molecular (micro) epidemiological components. HIV–1 group M subtype synchrony is quantified using the standard deviation of the between–subtype distances and the average of the within–subtype distances. Highly synchronized subtypes and a sunburst phylogeny are not observed in our simulated data, leading to the conclusion that a quasi–Lamarckian, punctuated event occurred. The natural transfer theory for the origin of human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cannot easily be reconciled with these findings and it is as if a recent non–Darwinian process took place coincident with the rise of AIDS in Africa.
