You each have a card with directions on it. The people who have card 1 must wear a latex glove on one hand.
You will have 3 minutes to complete the directions on the card.

You just participated in an activity designed to help you understand HIV transmission.

What do you think the “handshake” in this activity represented?
![Page 5: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The handshake represented a behavior that put you at risk for HIV.
![Page 6: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How is HIV transmitted from one person to another?
![Page 7: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HIV lives in semen, vaginal fluid, blood and breast milk of a person with HIV. It can be passed from one
person to another through these infected fluids.
![Page 8: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ways HIV Is Transmitted
• During vaginal, oral or anal sex.• By sharing needles and equipment to inject drugs.• By sharing needles used for tattoos and piercings.• By sharing needles used to inject vitamins or
steroids.• From unintentional needlestick injuries in a
hospital or clinic.• From a mother to her baby during pregnancy,
childbirth or breastfeeding.
![Page 9: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Let’s investigate who was at risk because of the HIV handshake.
If you have Card 4, please stand. This card represents someone who is infected with HIV.
If your card has the name of a person who is standing, please stand.
![Page 10: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This means that you may have contracted HIV.
If your card has the name of any of the people who are standing, please stand. Again, this means that you may have contracted HIV.
![Page 11: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Do any of you who are standing have a glove on? What does this represent?
![Page 12: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The glove represents a condom. Condoms are helpful in reducing the risk of HIV transmission, however, they are not 100% effective.
What are some reasons a condom might not be effective?
![Page 13: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
When condoms are used incorrectly they can break or slide off. Condoms also deteriorate with
age and heat which can cause them to break.
![Page 14: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
If you are wearing a latex glove, look closely at the fingertips. If there is a hole in one of them, it means the condom wasn’t
effective in reducing your risk of HIV infection.
![Page 15: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
If your glove doesn’t have a hole in it, you can sit down, because you avoided HIV infection by
using a condom correctly.
![Page 16: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Now look around. All of the people who are standing put themselves at risk and may have
contracted HIV.
![Page 17: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
You’ve learned that condoms are one way to reduce the risk of HIV. What’s another way?
![Page 18: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Being in a monogamous relationship is another way to reduce the risk of HIV. In a monogamous relationship,
both people have no other sexual partners.
![Page 19: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
To reduce the risk of HIV, both people have to be HIV free prior to entering the relationship. Monogamy is a long-term
commitment that can help people avoid the risk of HIV.

Stand up if you have Card 3. Read what your card says.
![Page 21: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Only shaking the hand of another Card 3 holder represents monagomy.
![Page 22: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What’s the only way to prevent HIV 100% of the time?
![Page 23: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Remaining abstinent and not participating in any risky behaviors is the only way to have 100%
protection from HIV.
![Page 24: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stand up if you have Card 2. Read what your card says.
Not shaking anyone’s hand represents abstinence.
![Page 25: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Card 2 holders:
• Did anyone try to shake your hand?• Were they successful?• What strategies did you use to resist shaking
hands?
![Page 26: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
You’ve participated in an activity that demonstrates how HIV can be transmitted and how it can be prevented. Ultimately you
are responsible for protecting your health and avoiding HIV.
![Page 27: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sometimes people mistakenly worry about HIV transmission when there is no risk.
What are some common myths regarding HIV transmission?
![Page 28: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Ways HIV is NOT Transmitted
• Donating blood.• Hugging, kissing or sharing food.• Telephones, toilet seats, towels or eating
utensils.• Tears, saliva, sweat or urine.• Mosquitoes or other insects.
![Page 29: HIV: The Facts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816616550346895dd963e8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Thinking about how your life would change if you were infected with HIV can motivate you to act to reduce your risk.
Turn to “Thinking About HIV” on page 19. Follow the directions and complete the activity.
