Because a person can beinfected with the virus that causes AIDSfor as long as 10 or more years before thesigns of AIDS appear, many of theseyoung people were likely infected whenthey were teenagers.People are becoming infected with HIVat younger ages. In fact, in the early1980s, the average age at infection wasover 30. In the four years between 1987and 1991, the average age at infectiondecreased to 25. During these four years,it is estimated, one in every four new HIVinfections occurred in people under 25years of age.Many teens engage in behaviors thatincrease their risk of becoming infected.Adults sometimes have no idea that theyoung people they know may be havingsexual intercourse or experimenting withinjected drugs. These activities can increase their risk of infection with the virusthat causes AIDS.All young people need to know aboutAIDS and the specific actions they canit is estimated that 3 million teensare infected with sexually transmitted diseases (venereal diseasesVD)each year. The virus that causesAIDS is sexually transmitted.60 percent of all American highschool seniors have used illegaldrugs. Some of these drugsare injected. The virus that causesAIDS is spread through thesharing of needles or syringes.take to protect themselves and their lovedones from becoming infected. Let's beginwith the basics.What Is AIDS?AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, a disease in which thebody's immune system breaks down. Theimmune system fights off infections andcertain other diseases. Because the systemfails, a person with AIDS develops avariety of life-threatening illnesses.3A NI E K I I: AKSN I) S

AIDS Is Caused By HIV InfectionAIDS is caused by the virus called thehuman immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.A virus is a small germ that can causedisease.If HIV enters your body, you maybecome infected with HIV. A blood testcan detect HIV antibodies if you areinfected. Antibodies are substances yourbody makes to fight an infection.A person who is infected can infectothers, even if no symptoms are present.You cannot tell by looking at someonewhether he or she is infected with HIV.An infected person can appear completelyhealthy.Even when no symptoms are visible,however, anyone infected with HIVshould be under a doctor's care.People infected with HIV can developmany health problems. These can includeextreme weight loss, severe pneumonia,forms of cancer, and damage to thenervous system. These illnesses signal theonset of AIDS. In some people, theseillnesses may develop within a year ortwo. Others may stay healthy for as longas 10 or more years before symptomsappear. Early medical treatment mayprolong a person's life.No one will develop AIDS unless he orshe has been infected with HIV. Bypreventing HIV infection, we can preventAIDS.

How You Can And CannotBecome Infected With HIVYou can become infected with HIVin two main ways:HIV is transmitted by anal, vaginal, ororal intercourse with a person who isinfected with HIV.Since many infected people have noapparent symptoms of the condition, it'shard to be sure who is or is not infectedwith HIV. So, the more sex partners youhave, the greater your chances of encountering one who is infected, and becominginfected yourself.Having sexual intercoursevaginal,anal, or perhaps oralwith an infected person.Sharing needles or syringes with aninfected person.Also, women infected with HIV canpass the virus to their babies duringpregnancy or during birth. In somecases they can also pass it on whenbreast-feeding. Some people havebeen infected by receiving bloodtransfusions, especially during theperiod before 1985, when carefulscreening and laboratory testing of theblood supply began.You cannot be infected by givingblood at a blood bank.How Do You Get HIVFrom Sexual Intercourse?HIV can be spread through unprotectedsexual intercourse, from male to female,female to male, or male to male. Femaleto-female sexual transmission is possible,but rare. Unprotected sexual intercoursemeans sexual intercourse without correctand consistent condom use.HIV may be in an infected person'sblood, semen, or vaginal secretions. It isthought that it can enter the body throughcuts or soressome so small you don'tknow they're thereon tissue in the vaginapenis, or rectum, and possibly the mouthHow Do You Get HIVFrom Using Needles?Sharing needles or syringes, even once, isan easy way to be infected with HIV andother germs. Sharing needles to injectdrugs is the most dangerous form ofneedle sharing. Blood from an infectedperson can remain in or on a needle orsyringe and then be transferred directlyinto the next person who uses it.Sharing other types of needles also maytransmit HIV and other germs. Thesetypes of needles include those used toinject steriods and those used for tattooing or ear-piercing.If you plan to have your ears pierced orget a tattoo, make sure you go to a qualifiedtechnician who uses sterile equipment.Don't be shy about asking questions.Reputable technicians will explain thesafety measures they follow.HIV And BabiesA woman infected with HIV can pass thevirus on to her baby during pregnancy orduring birth. She can also pass it on whenbreast-feeding. If a woman is infectedAMERICAEDNDSTD A I DS5

before or during pregnancy, her child hasabout one chance in four of being borninfected. Taking AZT during pregnancycan reduce this risk.Any woman who is considering having ababy and who thinks she might haveplaced herself at risk for HIV infectioneven if this occurred years agoshouldseek counseling and testing before shegets pregnant.

Since 1985, all donated bloodhas been tested for evidence of HIV. Allblood found to contain evidence of HIVis discarded. Currently in the United States,there is almost no chance of infection withHIV through a blood transfusion.You cannot get HIV from giving bloodat a blood bank or other established bloodcollection center. The needles used forblood donations are sterile.
