These cells play a crucial role in identifying and fighting off infections. When HIV destroys these cells, the body becomes vulnerable to diseases it can no longer fight, which can ultimately lead to an AIDS diagnosis if left untreated.<\/p>\n One of the most important questions to answer is “How is HIV transmitted?”<\/em> HIV is transmitted through specific body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, rectal fluids, and breast milk. It is not spread through casual contact like shaking hands, hugging, or through the air, sweat, or saliva. Understanding how HIV is transmitted is vital for preventing its spread. Although there is no cure or vaccine for HIV yet<\/strong>, it can be managed with medication, allowing individuals to suppress the virus and maintain a healthy immune system. The only way to know your HIV status is through testing.<\/p>\n Stage 1<\/strong>: Acute Infection \u2013 about 2-4 weeks after exposure, can look like the flu. These are the only symptoms.<\/p>\n Stage 2:<\/strong> Clinical Latency \u2013 there are no other symptoms while the CD4 cells are dying and the number of HIV cells are increasing in the blood stream. This stage can take around 8-11 years to complete before HIV is able to develop into AIDS.<\/p>\n Stage 3:<\/strong> AIDS \u2013 having 200 (or less) of those CD4 cells per cubic-millimeter of blood AND\/OR being more vulnerable to Opportunistic Infections.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1240px” custom_margin=”|auto|11px|auto||” custom_padding=”10px||7px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”1f09816e-184e-4ce5-a4cf-b39c52c423ca” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#44AFD9″ header_3_font_size=”31px” header_4_font=”–et_global_heading_font|600|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#73C345″ header_4_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”||4px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_4_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_4_font_size_phone=”30px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”1f09816e-184e-4ce5-a4cf-b39c52c423ca” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#73C345″ header_3_font_size=”31px” header_4_font=”–et_global_heading_font|600|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#73C345″ header_4_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”||4px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_4_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_4_font_size_phone=”30px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”Products” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(247,141,42,0.1)” background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”initial” custom_padding=”69px||49px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”50px||25px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”50px||25px||false|false” locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1240px” custom_margin=”|auto|25px|auto||” custom_padding=”10px||7px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”b327cbe4-b1d5-4b66-ad37-40c8f2f061ba” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” header_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_font_size=”48px” header_2_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”42px” custom_margin=”0px||13px|||” custom_padding=”7px|||||” header_font_size_tablet=”41px” header_font_size_phone=”30px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”41px” header_2_font_size_phone=”28px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”1f09816e-184e-4ce5-a4cf-b39c52c423ca” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#44AFD9″ header_3_font_size=”31px” header_4_font=”–et_global_heading_font|600|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#73C345″ header_4_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”||4px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_4_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_4_font_size_phone=”30px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In our lessons, we tend to talk about celebrities that are known to have HIV.

He retired from the NBA in 1991 after announcing his HIV status publicly. Many players were fearful to play with him on the court, risking transmission. We know that HIV cannot be transmitted through sweat or from body-to-body contact; but with immense fear and mistrust of HIV in the 80s and 90s, many players would not want to take a chance playing alongside Magic Johnson. Magic returned to play on the USA Men\u2019s Olympic Basketball Team, named \u201cThe Dream Team\u201d, which took Gold in the 1992 Olympic Games. Publicly living with HIV, Magic helps to dispel myths and stigma that HIV is considered a \u201cgay mans disease\u201d; as Magic Johnson is not a gay man. Since retiring from basketball for good, Magic has become an HIV\/AIDS activist and advocate for safer sex.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/FORjFF-ZyIo” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Magic Johnson’s Announcement” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#E02B20″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_color=”#FFFFFF” button_border_radius=”50px” button_font=”Montserrat|700||on|||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” custom_padding=”12px|24px|12px|24px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover=”#FF6959″ button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1240px” custom_padding=”10px||7px|||” custom_css_main_element=”display:flex;||align-items:center;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”display:block;” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_css_main_element_phone=”display:block;”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hivalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Ryan-White.jpg” title_text=”Ryan White” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_intensity_slide=”42%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”b327cbe4-b1d5-4b66-ad37-40c8f2f061ba” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” header_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_font_size=”48px” header_2_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”42px” custom_margin=”0px||-1px|||” custom_padding=”7px|||||” header_font_size_tablet=”41px” header_font_size_phone=”30px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”41px” header_2_font_size_phone=”28px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Ryan White<\/strong> (he\/him)<\/span><\/p>\n In a tragic accident, young Ryan is known to have received HIV from a blood transfusion just after his 13th<\/span>\u00a0birthday in December of 1984. Before the FDA had the technology to screen blood for infections like HIV (and before we knew about HIV and the AIDS crisis) many people were donating HIV+ blood to blood banks because they did not know they had HIV. Ryan was the recipient of fear-based bullying. He was removed from school \u2013 the families of his small Indiana hometown were scared he would transmit the virus at school. Gunshots were fired at his house. He and his family fought a long legal battle in which he was eventually allowed to return to the school setting. Ryan died in 1990, one month before he would graduate high school.

He was diagnosed with HIV less than a year before his time in the 1988 Seoul, South Korean, Olympics. He had a head injury during these games and bled into the pool. It was not until multiple years later that he publicly announces he had HIV. It is controversial whether or not he should have informed Olympic doctors, staff, and other Olympic Athletes that he had HIV at the time for the risk of transmission. The CDC says that chlorine in pool water will kill any HIV cells, and no other Olympians were diagnosed with HIV from that diving sports competition. While no harm or mishap came from this event, stigma and fear can keep someone from sharing their personal health diagnoses with others. Still, Louganis has since stated he acted irresponsibly in not telling others of his HIV status.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/XuUF5pbyFr8″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Watch Greg Louganis’s Damaging Dive” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#E02B20″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_color=”#FFFFFF” button_border_radius=”50px” button_font=”Montserrat|700||on|||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” custom_padding=”12px|24px|12px|24px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover=”#FF6959″ button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1240px” custom_margin=”25px|auto|25px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”10px||7px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”b327cbe4-b1d5-4b66-ad37-40c8f2f061ba” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” header_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_font_size=”48px” header_2_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”42px” custom_margin=”0px||13px|||” custom_padding=”7px|||||” header_font_size_tablet=”41px” header_font_size_phone=”30px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”41px” header_2_font_size_phone=”28px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”1f09816e-184e-4ce5-a4cf-b39c52c423ca” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#44AFD9″ header_3_font_size=”31px” header_4_font=”–et_global_heading_font|600|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#73C345″ header_4_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”||4px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_4_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_4_font_size_phone=”30px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]There is currently no cure or vaccine for HIV. That being said, in medical history, we have witness not only one but TWO cures of HIV. Some call these \u201caccidental cures\u201d or plainly \u201chappy accidents\u201d. These two individuals had both an HIV infection along with a type of cancer called \u2018lymphoma\u2019 which affects the immune system white blood cells called \u2018lymphocytes\u2019. Both individuals had undergone a serious treatment option: bone marrow transplant. You see, bone marrow is where we humans make new blood cells \u2013 red, white, and platelets. These transplants came from individuals that are naturally resistant to the effects of HIV. There is a very small portion of humans who have a mutation on our CCR5 gene \u2013 which can allow for a natural HIV resistance, making it so a person with this mutation cannot acquire HIV. A bone marrow transplant is a lengthy, painful, and expensive process; it may not be successful in all people and it may not be practical for most. However, seeing now that two people can be cured of HIV gives hope that a true cure is coming in the near future.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″
