Blog #11: M&M Therapy
After taking part of module #8 I can see how duanting it is to be on medications for HIV patients. With the drug scenario I picked I needed to swollow ten pills and a multi-vitamin a day. It was hard enough to keep up with the specific time schedule for taking the medications without having any side effects, I could not imagine if I had to deal with these side effects. Things like diarrhea, stinging sensation in the hands, nausea, and sleeplessness. If these were things I had to deal with while taking the medication I could only imagine how hard daily living could be. I know with what I do on my day to living would have to change. I could imagine how a person who is newly infected has to change their lives with rigorous routine and strict medication schedule. Also, they maybe have to change some of the daily activities they do. Not becuase they have to but becuase it may make them feel more comfortable in doing so. I only did this scenario for a week. Someone who has HIV must take medication for the rest of thier life.

DYK: CDC Prevention Education Plans
The CDC has put out guidelines and education plans for framework to be followed during eductaion. I ask why hasn't this framework been adopted by our public schools? If the CDC advocates that this is the best way for prevention then it should be implemented as requirements and not just sugguestion. If there was a correlation with the CDC and public school education it could only be beneficial. If there was a disease that was not spread mainly through unprocted sex then our public schools would probably not hesitate to push for education for prevention.
