Preventing HIV and risk.
Preventing HIV and risk.
The average teenager feels as if she or he could not possibly get HIV. Most believe that HIV only happens to other people. However, many teens are getting infected and are now living with HIV (HIV+). Not using condoms also puts teens at risk for other sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). In fact, one-fourth of all STDs each year occur among teens. This is especially alarming because the presence of an STD greatly increases a person's chances of getting or passing on HIV. Someways to staying safe from hiv is by abstain from sex, till a covenant marriage relationship, with somebody, of a similar status; that's, if you're single. You'll then be expected, to be faithful to one another.

The symptoms of HIV.
The symptoms of HIV.
Some people who contract HIV experience very strong symptoms, but others experience none at all. Those who do have symptoms generally experience symptoms similar to the common cold or flu: fever, fatigue, and, often, rash. Other common symptoms can include headache, swollen lymph nodes, and sore throat. These symptoms can occur within days or weeks of the initial exposure to the virus during a period called primary or acute HIV infection. Many infections that are not HIV can cause similar symptoms, including mononucleosis, viral hepatitis, other sexual transmitted infections, and viral hepatitis. Stress and anxiety can also produce similar symptoms in some people, even though they do not have HIV.Because of the nonspecific symptoms associated with primary or acute HIV infection, symptoms are not a reliable way to diagnose HIV infection. Testing for HIV antibodies is the only way to know whether you have been infected; however, the HIV antibody test only works after the infected person's immune system develops antibodies to HIV. During the "window period" between the initial infection and the period in which antibodies are detectable (which can be from 2 weeks to 6 months, but is usually around 3 months), standard HIV antibody testing may be negative, even though a person is infected--it is too early for the antibody test to be positive. However, HIV can be diagnosed during this window period with a test that looks for the HIV virus itself, and not the body's response to it.

These acts-SOPA and PIPA-could have punished sites “simply for not doing enough (and the bill does not yet specify just what "enough" would be) to police their site, even if the owner didn't post anything illegal themselves” (Jones 1). Tumblr users regularly post about TV shows and movie and sharing clips and photos from them. This would be going against the SOPA and PIPA bills if they had passed. The two friends both thought that this was not fair and did not want these bills to affect their experiences…
Conscience vs. Money, Fame, and Power Due to people’s inability to find truth because of the backwards, narrow-minded, and corrupted ways of society, most are led to believe that the only way to make it big in life is through wealth, power, and fame. Although it is through these selfish motives that many have become powerful and important people, Siddhartha Guatama was one who found truth and genuine happiness through his own conscience. Siddhartha, a Hindu prince, gave up his power and wealth…
Case Study Trap-Ease America 1. Martha and the investors believe that they face a once in a lifetime opportunity. I believe that they do indeed face a once in a lifetime opportunity because not everyone has the chance to invent a product and market it during their lifetime. The investor group believes that the Trap-Ease America had an “once-in-a-lifetime chance” with its innovation mousetrap. Martha could sense the group’s impatience with the company’s progress so far. In order to evaluate…
Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, chairman of the House Budget Committee, has initiated conversations with senior House Republicans on a broad deficit reduction deal that would allow some increases to federal programs squeezed by the automatic cuts known as sequestration in exchange for long-term changes to programs like Medicare and Social Security. The package would most likely include instructions to try to move along efforts to simplify the tax code as well. Aides described those talks…

Global History 3 & 4 Kiana Mickles September 24, 2012 10C HISTORIC VS. MODERN-DAY ABSOLUTISM What precisely is inflation? Inflation rates can be a cause of one out of two developments. The first cause is the effect of the concept supply and demand; because when more people want a relatively scarce object, the price must increase. Children, too small to yet hold the concept of the economy may often ask, “Why is the country in debt? Why can’t the president just…

please don’t give me to this hairy monster.” She explained that it wasn’t a monster and it called a cat. My previous experience of what it means to be a cat help me to faster and better perceive that object as a small friendly pet with pointy ears and meows. Also, whenever I feel weird tickle or itch on my body, I started to scream and slap the spot, because it feels like some kind of nasty insect is crawling on my body. However, when I see a spider walking on my arm, I just blow it off without…
