sample at which visible clumps with an appropriate antigen are formed. The concentration of
antibodies present in the highest dilution of a serum sample at which visible clumps with an
appropriate antigen are formed.

Can You Tell Who Has HIV?
HIV
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus
• The virus that causes AIDS
• Damages the body’s immune system which protects
the body from diseases
• Can have for many years without signs or
symptoms
HIV
Modes of Transmission
• During vaginal, oral or anal sex
• Blood-to-blood contact
– (blood with HIV in it comes into
contact with blood or mucous
membranes of another person)
• Sharing needles
• Needles used for tattoos and
piercing or to inject vitamins or
steroids
• Healthcare workers caring for
HIV can get HIV from needlestick injuries
• Mother to baby during
pregnancy, childbirth, or breast
feeding
HIV
• HIV is not passed by:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Donating blood
Hugging, dry kissing, or sharing food
Telephones, toilet seats, or eating utensils
Tears, saliva, sweat or urine
Mosquitoes or other insects
Coughing, sneezing, or spitting
HIV
• Incubation Period:
– Some people develop symptoms shortly after being
infected
– Sometimes it takes more than 10 years for symptoms to
appear.
Stages of HIV
“Stage 1”
• Primary HIV Infection
– Last for a few weeks
– Have flu-like symptoms
– Body begins seroconversion
• Body responds to the virus by producing HIV antibodies
• Can last 3 weeks to 6 months
Stages of HIV
“Stage 2”
• Asymptomatic Stage
– Having no obvious signs of symptoms
• Immune system still strong enough to prevent symptoms
– Last for an average of 10 years
– People continue to look and feel healthy
• The virus can still be passed to other people
– Unprotected sex, needle sharing
– HIV virus continues to weaken the immune system
Stages of HIV
“Stage 2” Continue
• Symptoms:
–
–
–
–
Moderate unexplained weight loss
Recurrent respiratory infections
Fungal nail infections
Herpes zoster
Stages of HIV
“Stage 3”
• Symptomatic HIV Infection
– The virus has become more active in the body and the immune system is
weakened.
– Symptoms:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Skin Rashes
Fatigue
Night Sweats
Slight weight loss
Mouth ulcers
Thrush (yeast infection)
Fungal skin and nail infections
Stages of HIV
“Stage 3” Continue
– Symptoms
•
•
•
•
•
•
Unexplained sever weight loss
Chronic diarrhea
Persistent fever
Oral candidiasis
Oral hairy leukoplakia
Bacterial infections
– Pneumonia
•
Stages of HIV
“Stage 4”
AIDS
– CD4 count is less than 200
– Or has a history of an AIDS defining illness
• Opportunistic Infections
– Infections that the immune system would normally prevent.
» Examples:
– Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia (PCP)
» A fungal infection of the lungs
– Tuberculosis (TB)
» A bacterial infection often found in the lungs but can spread to other parts
of the body
– Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS)
» A rare cancer that causes patches of abnormal tissue to grow under the
skin, in the lining of the mouth, nose, and throat or in other organs
– Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
» A common virus that infects most people at some time during their lives but
rarely causes obvious illness. It is a member of the herpes virus family
» Can cause blindness
– Toxoplasmosis
» A disease caused by a single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii
» Can affect the brain
Pneumocystis Carnaii Pneumonia
• There is increased
white (opacity) in the
lower lungs on both
sides, characteristic of
Pneumocystis
pneumonia
Tuberculosis
Kaposi’s Sarcoma
CMV
Normal Retina
Retinas With CMV
Toxoplasmosis
How Does A Person Find Out
Whether Or Not They Are HIV+?
•
Taking the HIV Antibody test
– Giving A Blood Sample
• Blood is drawn and sent to the
lab for processing
• Results back in about two
weeks
– Taking the OraSure Test
• A swab is taken from the cheek
(an additive on the swab pulls
blood from the capillaries inside
the cheek)
• Results back in 2-3 days
– Taking the OraQuick test
• A needlestick test
• Results usually back in about
30 minutes
• If a positive is revealed a
confirmatory test is performed
HIV Testing
• Test for HIV antibodies
– Immune system makes these to fight HIV
– Does not tell if you have AIDS
• If you have antibodies
– Test results are positive
– Have HIV
• If you don’t have HIV antibodies
– Test results negative
– You don’t have HIV
HIV Testing Continued
• The Window Period
– Usually takes up to 3 months after infection for the body
to make HIV antibodies
– In rare cases, it can take up to 6 months
