On November 28, the All-Russian campaign “Stop HIV/AIDS” started in the Russian Federation. The promotion will last until December 4th. The main goal is to draw public attention to the problem of the spread of HIV infection in our country.
The action is timed to coincide with the All-Russian AIDS Day, which is traditionally celebrated around the world on December 1st. Within 7 days, educational organizations, military training, military educational institutions, educational colonies for minors, as well as for citizens undergoing military service by conscription and contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, will host open lessons on preventing the spread of HIV . In addition to open lessons, a large-scale information and educational campaign will be carried out.
On December 2, 2016, an open lesson "Day of united action to inform children and youth against HIV/AIDS" KNOWLEDGE - RESPONSIBILITY - HEALTH" will be held in the format "Students for Children". The start time of the Open Lesson is 13.00 Moscow time. The basis of the open lesson is a video film that reflects topical issues of combating HIV infection in a format familiar to young audiences.
The broadcast of the open lesson is provided on the television channel "Russia-24", on the Internet on the resource: stopwichspeed.rf, as well as on the website of the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Additional Professional Education "Academy for Advanced Studies and Professional Retraining of Educational Workers". In addition to these methodological materials, employees of Sverdlovsk educational institutions can use the methodological recommendations for carrying out activities to prevent HIV infection among young people, which are posted on the official website of the Ministry of Education in the section "Children's Health Campaign and Interdepartmental Cooperation", on the website of the state budgetary institution of Sverdlovsk area "Center for Psychological, Pedagogical, Medical and Social Assistance "Lado", in the sections "Library", "Author's developments".
According to statistics, 146 million people live in the Russian Federation today, of which more than 850 thousand have HIV-positive status. Every day, 11 people in Russia become infected with HIV. “Such attention to HIV is not accidental: the virus is one of the world's most serious public health threats today. According to the World Health Organization, more than 37 million people are living with HIV, more than 34 million have died from this dangerous disease in the 30 years since its discovery,” says the Minister of Health of the Russian Federation, Co-Chair of the Organizing Committee of the All-Russian Action “Stop HIV/AIDS "Veronika Skvortsova.
Svetlana Medvedeva, President of the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the All-Russian Action "Stop HIV/AIDS": "I am sure that through the joint efforts of the state and society, we will be able to convey to our younger generation the importance of responsible civic behavior."
Action organizers: Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation.
By the AIDS Day, the Ministry of Education of the Sverdlovsk Region recommended that subordinate institutions should: issue information stands; organize broadcasting of effective practices in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention; post information about the All-Russian action on the official websites of educational institutions. In all schools of the region, events will be held to prevent HIV infection: actions, class hours, discussions, etc.

Classes: 9 , 10 , 11

Event progress

Teacher (Annex 1, presentation) : In 1988, the WHO (World Health Organization) decided that World AIDS Day would be celebrated annually on December 1 (showing the 2nd slide of the presentation). On this day, it is necessary to bring to public attention the main idea that the cheapest and most effective measure to combat this disease is health education and public awareness (showing the 3rd slide of the presentation).

B - virus (microorganism);

I - immunodeficiency;

H - a person;

C - syndrome (disease picture);

P - acquired (obtained during infection);

I - immuno (immunity);

D - deficiency (deficiency).

HIV is a virus that is transmitted from person to person in certain ways and causes dysfunction or destruction of the human immune system.

AIDS is the last (terminal) stage of HIV infection.

Teacher: HIV infection and AIDS is a completely new and unusual disease for people. Scientists and doctors believe that HIV appeared on Earth no more than 50 years ago. However, in that short time, AIDS has already claimed over 22 million lives. Until now, it has not been possible to find drugs that completely cure AIDS, and methods of protective vaccination (vaccination) against HIV. Even in the question of when and how the human immunodeficiency virus appeared, everything is not completely clear yet. There are several hypotheses, but none of them has been proven (showing the 4th slide of the presentation):

Hypothesis 1 - most researchers tend to think that the disease originated in Africa, and then spread to other territories (USA and European countries). According to the African hypothesis, closely related primate viruses could have been the precursor of HIV. In Africa, foci were identified where a virus similar to the human immunodeficiency virus spread quite widely in monkeys. (showing the 5th slide of the presentation).

2nd hypothesis - the virus could adapt to life in the human body due to the widespread use of such scientific achievements of the 20th century as blood transfusions, organ transplants and other discoveries in medicine, which could contribute to the formation of both weaker and more dangerous forms of the virus (showing the 6th slide of the presentation).

3rd hypothesis - the artificial emergence of the virus in the late 70s on the basis of bacteriological weapons (showing the 7th slide of the presentation).

4th hypothesis - the virus could have existed since ancient times, changing the modification.

Teacher: Currently, an epidemic of infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to develop throughout the world. Infection with this virus causes a disease known as AIDS after a few years. AIDS in HIV-infected people does not develop immediately, but 7-10 years after infection.

Who are the viruses?

Teacher. Man, like all living beings, is made up of cells. Each cell has its own "control center" - the nucleus. All work, vital activity (work) of the cell is controlled by the nucleus. It is in this main part of the cells, the defenders of the body, that a dangerous virus (HIV) is introduced after it has been able to penetrate the human body, HIV is, as it were, “conserved” in the cells of the immune system, which are designed to defend the body from the introduction of any aliens - pathogens. For a long time (several years), the defenses of infected people are still able to withstand the onslaught of pathogens. But a person will never be able to get rid of the dangerous “newcomers of HIV”, which remain in the nucleus of the affected cell throughout his life. Over time, the activity of “strangers” increases and in a weakened body, various diseases easily arise that lead to the death of an infected person.

Student message. AIDS was first discovered and registered in 1981 in the United States. When group diseases of men aged 25–45 years of homosexual orientation were detected. Then they began to identify representatives of other segments of the population (drug addicts, prostitutes). As it turned out, these patients had a sharply weakened immunity (protective properties) of the body. A wide variety of microbes began to kill people, under normal conditions causing only a slight malaise. The disease was called AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). As soon as the clinical picture of the new disease was described in the medical literature, reports of patients in other countries began to arrive. As early as 1983, the virus now known as the human immunodeficiency virus or HIV was isolated. The honor of discovery belongs to Luc Montagnier (France) and Robert Gallo (USA). Blood test methods for detecting HIV (by the presence of antibodies to it) were developed in 1985. Gradually, the epidemic of the new disease spread throughout the world. The causative agents of the disease - viruses - were simultaneously discovered by biologists Montagnier in France and Gallo in the USA in 1983. Later, human AIDS viruses and similar ones were found in four species of monkeys. The viruses of chimpanzee (AIDS-1) and smoky mangabey (AIDS-2) are dangerous for humans. In Russia, the first case of infection was officially announced in 1987 (a young resident of St. Petersburg).

Teacher. The development of the epidemic process in HIV infection has its own patterns that can be traced in various countries of the world, and it can be divided into three main phases (showing the 9th slide of the presentation):

The initial phase - the spread of HIV occurs mainly among people of homosexual orientation.

The second phase - the virus enters the environment of people who use drugs intravenously and spreads parenterally (by blood).

The third phase is when the entire population is involved in the process and the spread of HIV is carried out mainly through sexual contact.

Question to the students: What do you think is the dominant phase now?

An exercise

Objective: To enable students to reflect on the risk of HIV infection.

I offer you a situation for the whole group, I will ask everyone to stand up. You have been invited to a party out of town. You have given your consent. And spend time in the country in an interesting company. From a casual conversation, you will find out that among these people there is an HIV-infected person, who exactly you do not know. The evening is in full swing, you communicate a lot. Your task, moving around this room, is to enter into relationships with the people around you, stretching out your hands for contact. If you feel the movement of a finger on your palm, you are dealing with an HIV-infected person. I will ask the one who plays this role not to give himself away and also communicate like everyone else.
- Which of you turned out to be HIV-infected?
- What feelings did you experience?

Teacher: It is important that everyone understands that in the age of AIDS, any sexual contact with anyone should be considered as sexual contact with all those people with whom your partner has had intercourse in the last 10 years. Why is that? (showing the 10th - 13th slide of the presentation)

Teacher. When are we at risk of contracting HIV? From an epidemiological point of view, HIV infection is an infectious disease that is transmitted exclusively from person to person. The source of infection is an infected person at any stage of the disease, that is, regardless of the presence or absence of clinical signs of the disease. So far, it has been proven that HIV can be transmitted from an infected person in only three ways. (showing the 14th - 16th slide of the presentation):

1. Through sexual intercourse (heterosexual; homosexual)

2. Parenteral (blood contact):

- injecting drugs with infected syringes;
- transfusion of unexamined blood;
- medical procedures.

3. Vertical (from mother to child) - 15% - 30%:

- in utero;
- during childbirth;
- when breastfeeding.

Exercise: "What is the risk of contracting HIV/AIDS?"

Purpose: to consolidate knowledge of specific situations that are dangerous and safe in terms of HIV transmission; developing the ability to assess the degree of risk of infection in a real life situation.

  1. The students are divided into three groups.
  2. Each group is given cards consisting of 2-3 types of behavior (eating food prepared by an HIV-infected person, blood transfusion, during pregnancy from mother to fetus, using poorly sterilized instruments, swimming with an HIV-infected person in the same pool, greeting and hugging an HIV-infected person, during organ and tissue transplantation, when using common utensils, linen, a towel with an HIV-infected person, through insect bites, etc.). Then the task is given to determine the level of risk for each type of behavior (actions). Write the 3 levels of risk on the board (maximum risk, minimum risk, no risk).
  3. Students are encouraged to identify the appropriate risk factors in these situations.
  4. After the discussion in small groups, a representative of each group should be heard, and a discussion should be held.

Answers must be given with explanations. The teacher comments, explains, corrects the mistakes made.

Teacher. Clinical manifestations of the disease. At first, HIV does not manifest itself in the body, those infected with the virus feel healthy, nothing bothers them (the first stage is the latent (incubation period)). This can continue for quite a long time (from several weeks to 12 or more months). It should be noted that already during this period, infected people who do not suspect that they have HIV can infect many healthy people. In some infected, the onset of the disease may pass without any deviations in health. But in 60% of those infected, within 2-4 weeks from the moment of infection (or 2-3 months after the introduction of HIV), a short-term illness appears, which usually very much resembles a cold or flu with an increase in body temperature (the development of the second stage begins). In addition to fever, in some patients, the lymph glands swell, the throat becomes inflamed (similar to a sore throat), a skin rash appears, there may be an upset stool, headache, and insomnia. Then (after 1-2 weeks, after a maximum of 44 days), all the symptoms of the disease disappear almost on their own, without treatment. And infected people usually for many years, if they do not inject drugs and protect their health by giving up all bad habits, there are no signs of a serious illness, and the infected person does not complain about anything. This is the second stage of the disease, the manifestation of which can only be an increase in lymph nodes. The insidiousness of HIV lies in the fact that at this stage of the disease, apparently healthy HIV-infected people can infect others, often they themselves may not suspect that they pose a threat to infecting their loved ones. However, after a few years, HIV-infected people slowly but steadily begin to show symptoms of the disease. The disease passes into the next (third) stage of the disease, which, in essence, marks the beginning of AIDS. The patient begins to worry about fever, sweating especially at night, frequent stools or diarrhea, weight loss. Usually 10 years after infection, 50% of those infected develop the last (fourth) stage of the disease. AIDS patients develop brain damage, skin cancer (Kaposi's sarcoma), tuberculosis, pneumonia, intestinal infections, and other distressing symptoms. The most common symptoms of AIDS are severe weight loss up to exhaustion (skin and bones remain, as in cancer), fever, sweating, coughing, severe shortness of breath, memory and intelligence loss. In the last months of life, AIDS patients practically lose their sight, cannot speak and swallow food. The protective functions of the body's immune system are completely disrupted, and various pathogens become the cause of incurable, fatal diseases. The end result of HIV infection is death from AIDS.

The Russian Federation provides for criminal liability (Article 122 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) (showing the 17th - 18th slide of the presentation):

  1. Knowingly exposing another person to the risk of contracting HIV infection is punishable by restraint of liberty for a term of up to 3 years, or arrest for a term of 3 to 6 months, or imprisonment for up to 1 year.
  2. Infection of another person with HIV infection, by a person who knew about the presence of this disease, is punishable by imprisonment for a term of 5 years.

Exercise "The Legend of Genghis Khan" ( application 2).

Exercise "Boundaries of what is permitted."

Purpose: to develop skills in forming relationships between boys and girls, the ability to say “No”.

Situation: Sasha and Galya love each other. As they spent more and more time together, they began to express their feelings more tenderly. However, Sasha's desire to become even closer grew with each date. Galya is sure that abstinence (refusal of sexual relations) is the best choice in this case. Sasha insists. Discussion of the situation.

Teacher: There are many ways to say no. Your behavior should not be ambiguous when you say "no". Say “no” decisively and firmly. Vague “I don’t know”, “maybe” are evasive answers, often perceived as agreement.

III. Consolidation of the studied

Student message. Are there any treatments for HIV infection?

So far, medicine has not been able to find a cure for AIDS. Existing remedies can only maintain health and slow down the course of the disease, but not stop it altogether. The development of AIDS vaccines seems to be as difficult as the development of influenza vaccines, due to the great variability of the virus. HIV has a unique variability that is 5 times higher than that of the influenza virus and 100 times higher than that of the hepatitis B virus. Treatment has not been effective so far (the main drug is azidothymidine). Since there are still no reliable drugs for the treatment of AIDS, the death of all these people is almost certain. As part of the implementation of the Priority National Healthcare Project, 3.1 billion rubles have been allocated for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS. The money will be directed to the prevention and treatment of HIV-infected people.

Student message. What is the difficulty in treating HIV infection?

Anti-AIDS drugs act on certain enzymes of the virus, in connection with which its reproduction stops. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to completely cure the patient with the help of medicine. The fact is that the AIDS virus is embedded in the genome of the cells of various organs and cannot be pulled out from there. With the help of drugs, you can ensure that the virus disappears from the blood. There are no free particles, it does not infect new cells, but it is still stored in the body; and as soon as the drug is stopped, it reappears in the blood.

Student message. What methods, in your opinion, can be used by the Administration to prevent the spread of HIV infection in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)?

The main methods of prevention are that doctors should go out with lectures and talks to schools and enterprises more often. It is necessary to speak with children in an accessible language and in small groups. More colorful posters and booklets about possible ways of getting AIDS. In lectures and conversations, the main emphasis should be placed on proper sexual education, limiting the number of sexual partners, and using condoms; use of syringes, needles, disposable transfusion systems; thorough sterilization of medical instruments; conducting mass screening for HIV infection.

IV. Lesson Analysis

The teacher discusses with the students what they liked in the lesson, what new knowledge they got, what surprised them, what was useful. Concludes:

  • AIDS is a dangerous and insidious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus.
  • AIDS is spreading because of the unwillingness to change the norms of their behavior.
    •

The slogan “DO NOT DIE BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE!” should become a reality and the norm of life for every person.

V. Homework

Do your homework on the topic: “Life without bad habits” in the form:

  • Poster (drawing, photograph, computer graphics), which is accompanied by a slogan or other ideological text. Completion conditions: on sheet A4 with the signature of the author on the reverse side of the image.
  • Video CD / DVD (no more than 1.5 minutes long, subtitles in Russian are welcome) with a text description of the script attached as a separate file (no more than 1 page).

"Day of united action to inform children and youth against HIV/AIDS "Knowledge - responsibility - health""

The spread of HIV infection among the Russian population is one of the most significant medical and social problems in our country.

According to official data (as of December 31, 2015), there are more than 820,000 people infected with HIV in Russia, and the situation continues to worsen. The following facts testify to this:

- every 5 minutes, 1 person or 12 people per hour is infected with the immunodeficiency virus, which is about 270 people per day;

— in 2015, more than 100,000 new cases of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus were detected;

— the epidemiological situation associated with HIV infection goes beyond vulnerable groups of the population into the general population.

In this regard, awareness-raising and training activities for the prevention of the spread of HIV infection, carried out among young students, are of particular social importance. This will make it possible to involve in the movement for a value-based, conscious attitude to one's own health and the health of others around different groups of the Russian population: students, parents and teachers.

The problem of the spread of HIV will be covered at the II All-Russian Forum for specialists in the prevention and treatment of HIV / AIDS, which will be held in Moscow on November 28-29 in Moscow (http://o-spide.ru/forum2016/). The forum will discuss vital issues:

 Are the rates of growth in the incidence of HIV infection a national threat to Russia?

 Which population groups are at high risk?

 What measures are being taken to prevent and combat HIV/AIDS at the federal and regional levels?

 What goals are set by the state to reduce the rate of growth of the incidence and what decisions are being implemented to achieve them in the short and medium term?

 What is the most successful experience in preventing the spread of this disease?

By Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2203-r dated October 20, 2016, the State Strategy for Combating the Spread of HIV Infection in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2020 and beyond (hereinafter referred to as the Strategy) was approved, which defines the goal, objectives and main directions of the state policy of the Russian Federation for the Prevention of the Spread of a Chronic Disease Caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (hereinafter referred to as HIV infection).

You can read the document on the official Internet portal of the Russian Ministry of Health on HIV/AIDS prevention. (http://o-spide.ru/upload/iblock/79b/79b33d2e300470bd0ef9d147a00d58d3.pdf)

At the initiative of the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives under the patronage of Svetlana Medvedeva, a set of events is being held in Russia to coincide with important dates in the fight against AIDS within the United Nations (UN) - this is World AIDS Day (December 1, according to the calendar United Nations), as well as the World Remembrance Day of AIDS Victims (third Sunday in May), which was initiated by the social movement of people living with HIV and AIDS. The relevant ministries are involved in the events: the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications.

In May 2016, the All-Russian Campaign to Combat HIV Infection (hereinafter referred to as the Campaign) was held, which was timed to coincide with the World Day of Remembrance for Victims of AIDS. The key event of the Action was the Open Student Forum (hereinafter referred to as the Forum), which was held on May 14, 2016 in the format of thematic round tables on the basis of the country's higher educational institutions.

From November 28 to December 4, 2016, the next All-Russian campaign “Stop HIV/AIDS” will be held, timed to coincide with World AIDS Day. The key event of the action will be the broadcast on December 2, 2016 of the all-Russian open video lesson “Day of united action to inform children and youth against HIV/AIDS “Knowledge - Responsibility - Health””. The main motto of the campaign is "Stop AIDS Together!".

The estimated duration of the video lesson is about 25 minutes. Well-known media persons, students of leading Russian educational organizations of higher professional education, who will provide information on various aspects of the fight against AIDS, were involved in the creation of the Lesson.

For productive and effective work on the preparation and conduct of the Lesson in educational institutions, pedagogical workers must first familiarize themselves with relevant information regarding various aspects of nature, the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus, as well as measures to protect and prevent this syndrome.

More questions about HIV

It is possible that the original approach to the form of the Lesson is an Internet lesson, the information that students learn from the plot will cause additional questions for the teacher.

How frankly should we tell the younger generation about HIV and its prevention?

– Modern schoolchildren and students have access to any information, but they need to discuss this information with a competent adult who is trustworthy. One of the main points that determine the importance of such discussions is the perception of personal threat, which is a necessary prerequisite for behavior change. The ability to answer uncomfortable questions is the real prevention of HIV infection.

What is the immunodeficiency virus (HIV)?

- The immunodeficiency virus was independently discovered in 1983 by scientists in the laboratory of the Pasteur Institute in France and the National Cancer Institute in the USA. The retrovirus has been isolated from the tissues of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In 1986, it was decided to name the virus - human immunodeficiency virus. For the discovery of the virus, scientists Luc Montagnier and Françoise Barre-Sinoussi were awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

The main danger of HIV is that when it enters the human body, it completely destroys the affected cells responsible for human immunity. As a result, the work of the human immune system is inhibited, and it becomes defenseless against infections that are not typical for people with a normal immune status, as well as the development of various tumors. Over time, an HIV-infected person develops acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS.

AIDS is the final stage of the development of HIV, in the absence of treatment. Information that the virus irreversibly destroys the cells of the immune system should convince the need for mandatory observance of preventive measures or mandatory medical supervision and daily use of antiretroviral therapy in case of HIV infection. (Note: treatment and observation provide up to 30 years of life with good quality.) Understanding the global danger of HIV infection for humanity allowed the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1987 to develop a global AIDS program, and in 1988 the United Nations (UN) declared December 1 as World AIDS Day.

Already in 1989, 140 thousand patients were identified in 130 countries. Between 1981 and 2015, 34 million people infected with HIV died worldwide. Over 37 million are living with HIV, with the largest number of those infected living in South Africa (over 25.8 million). In Eastern Europe, more than 1.5 million infected people have been recorded, of which in the Russian Federation, according to state statistical surveillance, in the period from 1985 to 2015, 824,706 cases of antibodies to the immunodeficiency virus were detected in the blood. During the same period, more than 200 thousand people died in Russia.

Currently, more than 43% of HIV-infected people in the world receive antiretroviral therapy, which makes it possible to suppress the virus and significantly, up to several decades, prolong the life of an infected person. In Russia in 2015, 37.3% of persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus and under dispensary observation received antiretroviral therapy.

Global measures to prevent HIV infection in the world have yielded very good results:

a 35% reduction in the number of new HIV infections;

the death rate from AIDS decreased by 24%.

At the same time, the situation with HIV infection in Russia remains very difficult: 22 constituent entities of the Russian Federation account for 50% of the total number of new cases of HIV infection, which contributes to the persistence of a tense epidemiological situation.

What are the ways and sources of infection?

– It is important to understand that the only source of HIV infection is an infected person, while he himself may not know about his virus carrier. HIV infection requires direct contact with the circulatory system or mucosal cell membranes, that is, damaged skin and mucous membranes are a direct route for infection to enter the human body.

It should be remembered that the human immunodeficiency virus can be found in all fluids of an infected organism, but in dangerous concentrations - in blood, semen, breast milk, therefore it is this feature of the virus that affects the mechanisms of its transmission from person to person.

Studies have shown that there are three main ways the human immunodeficiency virus spreads:

- sexual, associated with sexual activity - both homosexual and heterosexual; - perinatal (vertical) - from an HIV-infected mother to an infant during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. Who is at risk? In addition to the traditional idea of ​​risk groups, including drug addicts, homosexuals, people who have casual sex, people who receive donated blood and (or) its components, there have been cases of heterosexual infection from a permanent partner who does not have bad habits. So, in addition to a medical and social problem, HIV infection has given rise to a moral problem of trust in a loved one.

Long-term observations have shown that the problem of trust as a value category has become the subject of study by psychologists working in the field of HIV prevention, since it has become obvious that it is the factor of unconditional trust in an intimate partner or loved one that often determines the risk of HIV infection. Trust in a partner explains the reason for the refusal of precautions, in particular the condom. As a result, the fear of showing doubt about the possible presence of HIV in a loved one contributes to the refusal to use protective equipment.

Thus, true trust, built on caring for the health of not only your own, but also your partner, turns into a risky pastime. This is confirmed by data from international studies that indicate that AIDS is among the most common causes of death of heterosexual men and women aged 25 to 55 among infectious diseases. There is confirmation of these data in Russia: the largest number of infected people is observed in the age groups of 30-34 years and 35-39 years. Of particular importance is HIV education for adolescents and youth. Scientific research into the human immunodeficiency virus has led the medical community to conclude that most 20- to 30-year-old AIDS patients contracted it during adolescence. This is explained by the fact that this period is characterized by impulsiveness, uncertainty, susceptibility to group influence, a pronounced need for identification with the group, which leads to risky behavior in relation to drugs, unprotected sexual contacts. Therefore, preventive work in this age group should be aimed not only at correcting the individual behavior of students, their self-esteem and the ability to say “no”, but also at the group as a whole, which will allow building the right socialization route that involves a healthy lifestyle.

Thus, in addition to the biological conditionality of the ways of HIV spread, another factor influencing the spread of HIV is revealed - a form of behavioral activity.

It is precisely this goal - to attract the attention of students, their parents, teachers to the problem of the spread of HIV, to raise awareness about the ways of infection and methods of protection, as well as to form an active position on HIV / AIDS prevention among young people, that the organizers of the All-Russian Internet lesson “STOP HIV / AIDS” as part of the All-Russian action dedicated to the World AIDS Day on December 1, 2016.

A very important aspect of preparation for an open lesson, and further continuation of preventive work, is an explanation of the procedure for testing for HIV.

How and where to conduct a laboratory examination (testing) for HIV?

– Laboratory testing for HIV is an integral component of the medical examination, which includes, in addition to laboratory testing, preliminary and subsequent counseling. Medical examination is performed with the obligatory consent of the patient on the basis of anonymity. In Russia, there are more than 170 specialized medical institutions for the prevention and treatment of AIDS/HIV in all major regional and district centers of the country. There is an approved procedure for conducting a medical examination for HIV, which consists of three mandatory stages:

Stage I - preliminary consultation;

Stage II - laboratory examination;

Stage III – follow-up consultation.

Preliminary and subsequent counseling is mandatory, as the subject must receive information about prevention and HIV infection, as well as comments on the results of the survey and the necessary recommendations. In 90-95% of those infected, antibodies appear within 3 months, in 5-9% - after 6 months. from the moment of infection, in 0.5-1% - at a later date. The earliest time at which antibodies were detected was 4 weeks from the moment of infection.

Upon confirmation of the diagnosis of HIV, the infected person is offered to be placed under dispensary observation. This is very important, as early antiretroviral therapy (ARVT) has already been proven to stop viral replication and reduce the viral load to undetectable, which can significantly improve the patient's quality of life and increase life expectancy.

Section "Test your knowledge"

  1. HIV and AIDS - what is it?

HIV infection is an incurable infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is the last stage of HIV infection, which develops on average 10-12 years after infection and is accompanied by the destruction of the immune system.

  1. What happens when you get HIV?

Immediately after contracting HIV, most people do not feel anything out of the ordinary. However, the virus lurking in the body begins to multiply and slowly, imperceptibly destroy the human immune system.

  1. Are there symptoms of HIV infection?

The virus can be in the body for several years asymptomatically before symptoms of the disease appear. A third of those infected in a few weeks may develop a condition similar to an acute respiratory disease or flu, doctors call it “acute HIV infection”. As a rule, no one associates this with HIV infection. In this case, a person's temperature rises, he feels weakness, headache, sore throat. Sometimes there is diarrhea (diarrhea) or a rash. This condition usually lasts a couple of weeks and then goes away. The most annoying thing is that during this initial period, even an HIV test can give an incorrect result, because the body has not yet developed antibodies to the virus.

A person can look and feel completely healthy for a long time and still transmit the virus to others. This is the danger of HIV infection.

Symptoms of HIV infection necessarily appear in an infected person at the AIDS stage. Against the background of immunodeficiency, a person develops secondary diseases, such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, tumors and other diseases.

  1. How does HIV turn into AIDS?

HIV infects various cells of the body, primarily cells of the immune system (CD4 lymphocytes), causing their death. Over time, lymphocytes lose their ability to make antibodies and fight infections. The human immune system is declining. Gradually, HIV infection enters its final stage, and the person is diagnosed with AIDS.

A weakened body becomes susceptible to diseases that a healthy person's immune system usually copes with if left untreated with antiretroviral drugs. When the body's resistance is completely lost, the diseases become so aggravated that the person dies.

  1. How is HIV transmitted?

 Through the blood - most often when using drugs, but it can also be transmitted through the use of non-sterile medical instruments, transfusion of blood components, tattooing, piercing with a contaminated instrument, use of other people's shaving and manicure accessories.

- During sexual intercourse without a condom. Even a single contact can lead to infection.

- From mother to child - during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.

  1. How is it not transmitted?

- With the generally accepted forms of greetings (handshakes, friendly kisses, hugs).

 When using common personal items, household items, toys, bed linen, toilet, bath, shower, swimming pool, cutlery and utensils, drinking fountains, sports equipment (saliva, sweat, tears, urine are not dangerous for infection if they contain no visible blood).

- Insect bites.

- Airborne droplets (when coughing and sneezing).

- When kissing through saliva, HIV is also not transmitted.

Can an HIV test be negative in a person who is infected with HIV?

Unfortunately yes. In the first 3 months after HIV infection, HIV testing may be negative. For some people with immune system characteristics, this period can even increase up to 6 months. This happens because the body has not yet developed antibodies to the virus that the test detects. Doctors call this period the “seronegative window.” Therefore, you should not run for an examination the next morning after a dangerous contact, it still will not show the true result - you will have to wait at least 1-3 months. It is better to save nerve cells and not take risks!

In 2014, there were 5,600 new HIV infections worldwide every day, while 2 million people became infected with HIV and 1.2 million people died from AIDS-related illnesses during the year.

At present, the majority of patients in the world are still not receiving treatment, and about half are not even aware of their diagnosis because they have not been tested for HIV.

How many people are infected with HIV in the world?

The United Nations estimated that the number of people living with HIV at the end of 2014 was 36.9 million. During the period of existence of HIV infection (since 1981), about 34 million people died from the disease in the world - that is, almost half of the 70 million who became infected with HIV. This characterizes the disease as the most devastating epidemic in the history of mankind and explains the scale of the measures taken.

There were 5,600 new HIV infections per day in 2014, and during the year 2 million people became infected with HIV and 1.2 million people died from AIDS-related illnesses.

At present, the majority of patients in the world are still not receiving treatment, and about half are not even aware of their diagnosis because they have not been tested for HIV.

And how many patients in Russia?

In Russia, the HIV epidemic began much later than in America and Europe, and continues to grow.

In the Russian Federation, according to the data of the federal state statistical observation (form No. 61 of Rosstat), the number of registered cases of detection of antibodies to HIV as of December 31, 2015 was 824,706, of which 79,967 were in the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. During 2015, 581,716 patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus were in specialized medical organizations under dispensary observation, which accounted for 70.5% of the number of registered cases.

During the entire period of the epidemic in the country (from 1987 to 2015), 237,790 people infected with HIV died. Of course, we were not able to identify all patients, since not everyone is tested for HIV, and in reality there are even more of them.

In recent years, in Russia, the number of new cases of HIV infection has been increasing by 10-12% per year, and mortality due to the disease is also growing. In 2015, 100,220 Russians were identified for the first time - every 5 minutes in the country, 1 person became infected with HIV.

Who is most at risk of contracting HIV in Russia?

Of course, the most at risk of contracting HIV are people who have behavior that is dangerous in terms of HIV infection: drug users, people who have promiscuous sex.

The most unfavorable situation for HIV infection in the country has developed in the Urals and Siberia: in the Irkutsk, Sverdlovsk, Kemerovo, Samara, Orenburg, Leningrad, Tyumen regions and the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug and a number of other regions.

In what year was World AIDS Day first held?

World AIDS Day was first celebrated on December 1, 1988. World AIDS Day aims to raise public awareness of HIV/AIDS and demonstrate international solidarity in the face of the threat of a global HIV epidemic (or instead of "global epidemic" you can write "pandemics"), to care for sick people, especially in countries with high burden of HIV infection.

The organization of events on this day implies, first of all, wide access to information about this virus and the disease, support for preventive measures, including involvement in voluntary testing. The activities are also aimed at preventing discrimination and stigma against people living with HIV infection. Famous people who died from AIDS

From November 28 to December 4, the All-Russian action "Stop HIV/AIDS" is taking place. It is timed to coincide with World AIDS Day, December 1st. The last time such an event took place was in May 2016.

Round tables, conferences and other events are held all over Russia throughout the week.

Figures and facts

The first case of HIV infection in Russia was officially registered in 1987. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) destroys and weakens the function of immune cells, therefore, infected people gradually develop immunodeficiency, and if treatment is not started, then 10-12 years after infection, HIV infection passes into the last stage - AIDS, which is accompanied by the destruction of the immune system and the person dies.

25 years after the first registered case in our country, there were already more than 650 thousand sick citizens. The annual increase in the spread of HIV infection by 10-12% over the past few years has led to the fact that today more than 820 thousand citizens live with the HIV virus in Russia.

Every 5 minutes, a dangerous virus in Russia infects 1 person.

Public lesson

On December 2, an open lesson on this topic was held in institutions of secondary general, secondary vocational and higher education. It was also held in military training and military educational institutions, in educational colonies for minors, as well as for citizens undergoing military service by conscription and contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The All-Russian open lesson “Day of united action to inform children and youth against HIV/AIDS “KNOWLEDGE - RESPONSIBILITY - HEALTH” is designed to inform young people in an accessible form about the specifics of HIV infection and AIDS, methods of transmission, methods of treatment and prevention, as well as the formation of behavioral skills that help reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS.

The lesson was prepared by students of higher educational institutions and healthcare professionals in Russia.

“We took into account the peculiarities and traditions of the educational environment, the type of educational organization, age categories, psychological and other specifics of the participants in the lesson,” Olga Vasilyeva, Minister of Education and Science of Russia, commented on the training video.

She said that the film is focused on the perception of information - "these are the features of epidemiology, and the ways of transmission and the mechanism of infection, methods of prevention, treatment, social and humanitarian aspects."

“The scenario is based on the principle of multidimensionality, which involves a combination of three aspects of preventive activities - the educational aspect, the social aspect, the psychological aspect,” added Vasilyeva.

“Participation of every citizen is important in solving the problem. Only a person's responsible attitude to his behavior, compliance with simple rules, as well as regular testing can protect against HIV infection and prevent its further spread. We must act together - this is precisely the motto of our action, ”Veronika Skvortsova noted in her speech at a conference at Moscow State University.

As part of the campaign, a social video was also prepared.

Not only lectures

At Moscow State University M.V. Lomonosov hosted an event dedicated to topical issues of the spread of HIV infection, master classes and lectures on topical issues of psychological and pedagogical support for HIV prevention, followed by broadcast on the Internet.

All week you can get free rapid HIV testing with mandatory pre- and post-test counseling.

A special illumination was organized on the building of the Government of Moscow on Novy Arbat. An art object was also opened in the form of graffiti on the wall of one of the houses.

The “Hot line of the MHC AIDS” operates around the clock.

Synopsis of the All-Russian open lesson

“Day of united action to inform children and youth against HIV/AIDS

“Knowledge – Responsibility – Health”

The purpose of the open lesson – creation of an information field that expands the understanding of young people about the human immunodeficiency virus and the consequences that the spread of HIV has for the social development of the country.

Lesson objectives:

    draw attention to the problem of the spread of HIV and AIDS;

    convey to each participant reliable and complete information about the infection;

    learn how to protect yourself and loved ones;

    get acquainted with the methods of timely diagnosis;

    help build a personal strategy for preventing HIV infection.

Lesson structure.

1. Introduction to the topic of the lesson. Actualization.

Hello guys.

Throughout its history, mankind has been faced with various challenges that threaten to change the natural course of life and cut off the evolutionary path of development. Among such threats is the immunodeficiency virus, i.e. HIV, imperceptibly destroying human health, destroying the future of the state and sowing fear in the hearts of young people.

Despite the measures taken, HIV infection continues to affect large sections of the country's population. Young people are in the high-risk group, which indicates the need to educate the younger generation in Russia.

In 2016, the Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives, together with other public organizations, took the initiative to once again draw the attention of the population to the problem of the spread of HIV infection in the Russian Federation.

To this end, from November 28 to December 4, 2016, with the support of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation, the Russian Orthodox Church and other organizations, the All-Russian action "Stop HIV / AIDS" was held, timed December 1 - World AIDS Day.

Expressing solidarity with the whole world, on this day it is customary to attach a red ribbon to clothes. The red ribbon is a symbol of the fight against AIDS, it was invented by the artist Frank Moore in 1991. Like many celebrities, he passed away due to HIV (1953-2002).

Today we have gathered for the All-Russian open lesson “Day of united action to inform children and youth against HIV/AIDS “Knowledge - Responsibility - Health””

The main objective of this action is to draw attention to the problem of HIV infection and AIDS, to convey to everyone the correct and complete information about this disease, to help protect yourself and your loved ones.

This focus on HIV is no coincidence: the virus is one of the world's most serious public health threats today.

Much has been done in our country to stop the spread of a dangerous virus.

However, only the efforts of the state are not enough to solve such a complex problem. It is necessary to combine the efforts of authorities, public organizations, and the media. At the same time, the participation of every citizen is important in solving the problem.Only a person's responsible attitude to his behavior, compliance with simple rules, as well as regular testing can protect against HIV infection and prevent its further spread.

We must act together - this is precisely the motto of the All-Russian action "Stop HIV/AIDS".

It is important to remember that today HIV is not a death sentence. Timely diagnosis and treatment allow an infected person to live a normal life, create a family, and be happy.

2. The main part. Acquaintance with the basic information about HIV, which will be expanded and supplemented during the lesson.

Students have worksheets on their desks. (1 for two)

Directly during the Lesson, students are invited to fill out a worksheet, which consists of two columns:"what am I I know about HIV and"what am I found out about HIV.

One of the options for conducting this part of the Lesson is to ask the students the question: - What event is today's Lesson timed to? Various answers will follow. If there is no answer, then you can name this date: December 1 - World AIDS Day. Each student enters this information in the appropriate column.

The educator then asks a series of questions, to which they either receive an answer, which the students write down in the column “what do I know about HIV”, or leave these questions unanswered, in order to get an answer to them after watching the video.

Questions to ask:

    HIV and AIDS - what is it?

    What happens when you get HIV?

    Are there symptoms of HIV infection?

    How does HIV turn into AIDS?

    How is HIV transmitted? How is it not transmitted?

    When did you first become aware of HIV infection?

    Who can get HIV? Who is at risk?

    What should you do to avoid being infected with HIV?

    Where can I get advice about HIV infection?

    How and where to conduct a laboratory examination (testing) for HIV?

    What is the incubation period for the manifestation of HIV infection?

    How to prolong the life of a person infected with HIV?

    Why do you need to know your HIV status?

Before starting the direct viewing of the video broadcast, the teacher discusses with the students that they probably do not know the correct answers to all questions. You can find out this information by watching the video tutorial. All new information for themselves, which students learn in the process of watching, they write down in the column “What I learned about HIV”.

Watching the video broadcast "Stop HIV/AIDS"

The video clip consists of several blocks, the content of each one examines different aspects of the spread of HIV: from the standpoint of scientific research, as a medical problem, the social consequences of the spread of HIV, methods of therapy and prevention.

At the end of the Lesson, repeat the questions that were not answered at the beginning, and also ask the students what new things they learned and what information about HIV made a special impression on them.

Ask trainees what specific actions they can propose to prevent the spread of HIV? The most interesting and possible proposals are jointly selected.

Ask students to formulatehealthy life rules , for recording in individualworksheets.

At the end of the event, pupils and teachers are photographed with the hashtag STOPHIVAIDS
