INTRODUCTION:
Education on HIV and AIDS is still a big issue, even though we have
been familiar with the virus and the disease for a few decades now. This is
mainly a problem of the cultural differences. Each country with its own culture
needs a different approach when it comes to Education on HIV and AIDS. In
this research paper, we are going to focus on UGANDA.
Even though UGANDA has been an example for the rest of Africa in the
fight against HIV and AIDS in the past, the disease is still a big problem on
their country. The majority of the population is not aware of the dangers of
the virus and the disease AIDS that can follow, especially on the countryside.
Hope Alive Uganda is a registered organization both in Uganda as well
as in the Netherlands. They have several projects in Kisozi, a small village In
Uganda. As well as in the rest of Uganda, HIV and AIDS. Hope Alive Uganda
founded an AIDS information and medical center. Moreover, they offer
educational programs or children and adults.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS:
HIV and AIDS has become a widely spread virus that affects the human
immune system, that does not discriminate on age, race or color. Prevention
of AIDS is our joint responsibility. Education and awareness is the only weapon
in our hand. Let us accept the challenge to fight against AIDS. We must
support and care for the people with HIV and AIDS with compassion and
understanding.

WHAT IS CAUSE OF HIV INFECTION?

WHAT IS THE COURSE OF HIV INFECTION?
HOW HIV TRANSMITTED?
WHAT ARE THE SYMTOMS ONCE YOU ARE INFECTED?
HOW DO THE TEST TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU HAVE AIDS WORK?

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES:

According to DOH says that the resistance of the church to some forms of
birth control is a contributing factor on the HIV epidemic right now. I say that
the HIV is most commonly seen in the young population. A population that
makes their own decisions and is rebellious to the church teaching. Though
the church could have cause some sort of contribution, I do believe that the
lack of sex education in our school particularly to our youth is a more blamable
culprit than the church.

According to DOH says prostitution or sex for money is a contributing factor

of the epidemic and should be eradicated. Since the dawn of human
civilization, there is prostitution and it is something that is very hard to control
much less eradicated from our society. What DOH can do is to provide an ID
system and free monthly checkup to our sex workers to protect them as well
as the people that they serve. This will also encourage the client to only have
sex with a ‘’clean’’ sex workers. This will also further educate our sex workers
on proper ways of protecting themselves from different as well as unwanted
pregnancy.
According to DOH says that the person under 18 who wants to test for
should require parental consent. I say that, I have client with HIV at age
13,14,15 and that is because of failure in health promotion. The accessibility
of casual sex thru apps like Grind and other dating apps makes it very easy
for 2 complete strangers to have sex consensually and thus, spreading the
virus like wildfire to our young and techie population. These individuals would
never dare to ask their parent permission to go with them and get tested, our
culture against premarital sex and our bigotry against the LGBT makes it
impossible to do so.
 According to Daniel Murell, The HIV is a lifelong condition and currently there
is no cure, although many scientist are working to find one. However, with
medical care, including treatment called antiretroviral therapy, it’s possible to
manage HIV and live with the virus for many years. Without treatment, a
person with HIV is likely to develop a serious condition called AIDS. At that
point, the immune system is too weak to fight off other disease and infection.

According to Josh Robbins, he was get the idea for a blog began to take root,
it was when he informed the partner who had infected him that the idea for a
platform to fight the stigma of HIV-positive infection really began to blossom
into a life’s work. ‘’There was a moment in the call when I broke, ‘’Im telling
this guy what has happened, and letting him know he needs to get tested,
and he says, ‘’You mean I have to live for the rest of my life knowing that I
infected someone with HIV . Suddenly I find myself being strong for him, and
responsibility from both partners.

According to Brew, HIV is a virus spread through certain body fluids that
attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells, often called T
cells. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t
fight off infections and disease. These special cells help the immune system
fight off infections.

According to Albert, HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It is the

virus that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS, If not
treated, These opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage of a very
weak immune system and signal that the person has AIDS, the last stage if
HIV infection.

According to Paul R. Abramson, Condoms are considered to be the primary

recommendation to prevent transmission most of the pharmacist answered
correctly that HIV is transmitted through blood (91.8%) and through needles
(95%). A patient could receive infected blood from a blood bank, but this
should not be the case because all donated blood should be tested for HIV,
routine eligibility screening questionnaire and always using a new syringe for
each patient.

According to Philip Alcabes, in the early years of AIDS, it was easy to think
that disease might follow a similar trajectory. Sontag urged that, one the
malady came to be understood medically and had become treatable, we
should dismiss the dangerous metaphors then stigmatizing its sufferers and
open the way for a tolerant climate of care and carrying.
 According to George Krucik, the finding the right footing in the dating scene
can be difficult for anyone, but especially so for those with a positive HIV
diagnosis. Dating with HIV requires complete honesty about an issue that can
be hard to talk about. It also requires a certain level of disclosure before any
sexual act.

SUMMARY:
HIV Impact Assessment indicating that the total number of adults and
children of all age living with HIV and Uganda is estimated to be approximately
1.3 million. The 2016 UPHIA indicated a fall in HIV national prevalence at 6%
compared to 7.3% according on this 2011 Uganda AIDS indicator research.
Issues such as access to prevention, care and treatment services will also be
evaluated. The Ministry of Health estimates that by the end of 2015, about
1.46 million people in Uganda were living with HIV. The HIV prevalence in the
general population increased from 6.4% in 2005 to 7.3% by 2011. This
indicates that Uganda has made significant progress in the national HIV
response. Among women and men, HIV prevalence declined from 8.3% and
6.1% in 2011 to 7.5% and 4.3% in 2016 respectively. In urban areas, it also
declined from 8.7% to 7.1% while in rural areas it fell from 7.0% to 5.5%.
CONCLUSION:
Now that we have looked at the different aspects s of the subject, we are able
to answer our main question:
In which way can you develop educational materials that interesting for young
children (aged six to ten, Uganda) in order to teach them about HIV and AIDS?
HIV and AIDS are sensitive subject in Kisozi. Many people have been
personally affected by the disease. However, the knowledge people have
about it is limited. This especially applies to children in this age category. Most
of them have known people who suffered from HIV or AIDS, but they are too
young to completely understand the cause of it.
THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT:
- The children young, so you should keep the education on sex age-
appropriate
- The children are young and their reading and English skill are limited.
Therefore, visual materials work best and English vocabulary that is
used should be as easy as possible
- The Uganda culture is very different from ours, so this should be taken
into account as well.
What we have learned is that is possible to talk about HIV and AIDS in
Kisozi, it is just that tradition And religion still have a lot of impact on society
.The roles between men and women are traditional, which means that women
have troubled with sticking up for themselves. This leaves its mark in sexual
relation as well. This is different from our culture, where men and women are
considered equal and where campaigns usually mainly focused on the use of
protection.
RECOMMENDATION:
This research presents the main findings and recommendation of an
international research project which has focused on assessing the impact of
the HIV and AIDS epidemic on primary and secondary schooling in one
countries namely Uganda. Adult HIV prevalence rate were estimated to be 8%
in Uganda in 1999. The report explores the following three areas: student
prevention and the teachers. It is widely accepted that the HIV and AIDS
epidemic will seriously affect the education sector in Africa. However little
systematic empirical research has been undertaken particularly in the high
prevalence countries that seeks to assess the actual and likely future impacts
on the supply of and demand for educational services.
