Hi guys, today I am going to be talking about defining and deciding for the 5-D process. In order to decide what number to first use in your problem, you find the thing that has the least information, for example, "Sarah had 5 times and 1 less cookies than Cara, and Fey had 2 times as much as Cara. In all there was 103 cookies. How many cookies did each girl make?" In this problem you would start with Cara because she has the least information, so she would be first in our equation, represented by X. The results of total cookies Cara made will help us find out our other variables by giving us that base number to find the totals. For instance if Cara had made 13 cookies, to find how many Sarah had we would multiply X(5)-1 to equal 64 cookies,

Statistically, black and Latino men are at the highest risk for contracting HIV in the United States. While black people represent only 12% of the U.S population, they make up 44% of people living with HIV. Similarly, Latinos are only 16% of the population and yet 21% of people with HIV are Latino. Because of this staggering disparity the Nebraska Aids Project specifically aims to help these groups; though some of their services are available to the general public and some are more explicitly for those living with HIV. One of the most important services NAP provides is the free HIV testing program. This program provides completely free testing for HIV that can be done either confidentially or anonymously. Nebraska is one of the only states left that allows anonymous testing and while there are some downsides to it, such as the inability to ensure proper health care for those who test positive, it encourages more people to get

With America growing at the rate it is, it is very important to grow with it. College is the best way to prepare someone to be out in the workforce and survive. Going to college is not essential for success, but it will give someone the extra skills that will help them in their career and in life. College helps people get a good job, prepares them for adult life, and will help them make more money.

“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes

(Patton 47) AIDs is a very complex retrovirus that replicates in an individual’s DNA. It becomes a part of the genetic code and houses itself in a cell, primarily the T-4 cell. (Patton 47) It is not a living organism like bacteria or a parasite so it is incurable and cannot be treated by using antibiotics like other sexual transmitted infections (STIs) like Syphilis or Gonorrhea. A virus cannot be cured, so doctors treat HIV infected individuals with immune suppression to keep the virus from spreading throughout the body. Drugs created in the 21st century such as Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PReP) protect individuals who practice high-risk behavior or have a dangerously low functioning immune system from getting the virus. Research in the 1980s was very scarce and underfunded for AIDs medicines however.

Reporter stated they meet mom (Nia) was she was in Wal-Mart trying to steal when she was pregnant a few months ago. Reporter stated she paid for mom’s items. Report stated mom took things out her panties like toothpaste and sexual cream. She did not have anything for the kids. Reporter went to mom’s home on 9/2/17 to give the family some groceries. That was also the last time they saw the family. The boyfriend/husband (Eric) tried to push the reporter out the door. He does not like for the reporter to come over. He almost stepped on the baby while she was sitting in her car seat in the process. He pulled mom’s wig off in front of the reporter and the baby. Reporter did not see the other 2 children. Mom called the reporter

The implementation of HIV prevention strategies such as Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a method in which individuals who practice risky behavior take a pill that will prevent them from becoming infected with HIV. Storytelling and new media activities is used to spark the interest of this population. “For example, Keep it Up! an interactive online program focused on healthy sexuality, relationships, and preventing HIV was recently found to be feasible and acceptable among diverse YMSM” (Macapagal, Birkett, Janulis, Garofalo, & Mustunski, 2017). Subsequently, there was an increase of condom use by the young men who participated in this program. The intervention program called Popular Opinion Leader (POL) focuses on training individuals such as the young African American (MSM) to encourage members of his community to practice safer and healthier sexual behavior

The possibility of sexually transmitted diseases and infections poses a huge risk to all those who are sexually active. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, STDs and STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV/Aids, and HPV may leave permanent damage to one’s body and increase the likeliness of cervical cancer, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and more. Planned Parenthood offers extensive testing for patients upon every visit to decrease the spread and damage of any and all diseases. According to Sonfield’s research, “Nearly half of female family planning clients receive chlamydia and gonorrhea tests, and 19% receive an HIV test… Without access to these services, in 2010, an estimated 3.6 million women and men would have forgone chlamydia or gonorrhea testing, which would have resulted in tens of thousands of undetected and untreated STIs. By reducing transmission to partners, these testing services helped prevent an estimated 99,000 chlamydia infections, 16,000 gonorrhea infections and 410 HIV infections that year” (Sonfield). The great amount of transferable diseases requires the counteractive services of Planned Parenthood to provide treatment and prevent the further spread of disease. Patients are offered and encouraged to receive testing to maintain sexual health. In the event of an issue, full treatment options are presented at low or no cost and

Although, (NIH, 2007) reports that condoms have reduce HIV Transmission by 87-95 percent. To get these African American male students from seeing it to exploring condom use as an option or a benefit is contemplation. However, a Condom Education Program is placed an inner city high school, whose population is 65 percent Afro-American male. NIH reported data is the goal of the program. The objective is by the end of the year, 45% of Afro American sexual active males are

(2011) was a multi-continent, randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy on the speed of the disease process among HIV-1 infected and HIV-1 uninfected partners. In the study, 1,763 HIV mixed status couples were grouped into either early antiretroviral and delayed therapy groups. Inclusion criteria consisted of the HIV-1 infected participant having a CD4 count between 350 and 550 with no previous antiretroviral therapy usage, except to prevent mother-baby transmission. Participants attended three monthly sessions and then quarterly sessions until ill or requiring an additional amount of antiretroviral drugs (Cohen et al, 2011). The uninfected partners were tested each quarter for seroconversion, the period in time in which antibodies become detectable. The research study concluded that early antiretroviral therapy initiation had a greater effect on CD4 count than delayed antiretroviral therapy. The average CD4 count in the early therapy group originated at 400 and increased to 603 after 12 months of ART. A decline of CD4 cells were noted in the delayed group (Cohen et al, 2011). The authors concluded that a higher incidence of HIV transmission was noted in African countries and adverse effects were more likely to occur in the early therapy group. Early therapy had a positive effect on the HIV-1 uninfected and HIV-1 infected

On May 2, 2012, the National Football League lost one of its elite players to suicide: Junior Seau. Seau played for the Chargers, Dolphins, and the Patriots during his professional football career and was a 12-time Pro Bowler before retiring in 2009. Three years after his retirement however, Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a gun. This greatly shocked the football world and its image of Junior Seau as a person, but it soon realized the cause for his action. Shortly after Seau’s death, researchers examined Seau’s brain and found that it contained a disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is formed

Prevention of HIV begins with using latex condoms during sex. In addition to using condoms, abstinence, limiting the number of sexual partners, and not sharing needles are

PrEP works by blocking important routes that HIV uses to spread its infection. If taken as prescribed, the medicine flowing through the bloodstream should inhibit HIV from spreading through the body. However, when not taken daily, the result may be too little medicine in the bloodstream to stop the spread of HIV. When taken as prescribed, PrEP has been understood to lessen the risk of HIV by more than 90% in people who are at a high risk. PrEP can even be more effective and preventative of HIV when it is combined with other methods. The combination of condom use and drug abuse treatment can be even more of a HIV deterrent when combined with PrEP.PrEPis effective in treating people who are HIV-negative and very prone to the

In the United States, starting salaries for teachers who have completed a four-year degree are far lower compared to many other professions, which also require a four-year degree. In most states, teachers must undergo testing and other rigorous certification requirements, but they are given the same consideration or status as beginning professionals in other areas. Although attractive incentives are offered, the compensation does not compare to the long hours of work and schooling required for a teaching career.

Antivirals are the treatment for HIV and presently there is no known cure. Treatment most often involves combinations of different drugs to avoid creating strains of the virus that are immune to single drug treatments (Mayo Clinic, 2013). The number of CD4 or T cells monitors treatment response. The viral load should be undetectable while undergoing antiviral therapy. The count is checked when treatment starts and usually monitored every 3-6 months. Even if someone has an undetectable viral load, the spreading of HIV is still a possibility.
