KEY TOPICS FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND POSITIVE LIVING

Key topics for Personal Development are as follows:

Family – Nuclear and extended families, needs of family members, rights and responsibilities of family members, choosing a husband or wife, importance of acceptance by both families, family planning, kwashiorcor, domestic violence, reproduction, contraception, family abuse –verbal, sexual, violent and financial.

Rights and wrongs of abortion, polygamy, needs of LGBT children, nutrition, exercise, avoidance of alcohol, home brew, marijuana and tobacco, girls and young boys not to be sexually abused by family men, honesty between wife and husband on family money, unequal distribution of money to more than one wife and family.

Key topics for Positive Living are as follows:

Entry of HIV infection – anal, oral, vaginal, infected drug syringes, infected blood transfusions, difference between HIV and AIDS, time line of infection, life span for PLWHIV and PLWHA people, antiretroviral (ARV) medication, first and second line of drugs, discipline in ARV medication, dehydration, suffocation, infection, resupply on time, default and immunity.

AIDS dementia, hallucinations, delusions, fear of being killed by evil spirits, brain damage due to dehydration from water and salts not absorbed through the small intestine, memory loss, diarrhoea, weight loss, importance of nutrition with ARV medication to rebuild the tissues.

Antibiotics for gut parasites, lipodystrophy of ARV patients with loss of fat on face, legs, arms and buttocks and build up on stomach, danger of diabetes two or heart problems to a fat PLWHIV, TB co-infection, need for HIV infected person on ARV to have TB tests. A person on ARV can not have safe sex without a condom.

Family support, respect, good-will, caring. An HIV mother must take care with  breast feeding, She should seek advice of a doctor.  A raped woman must get ARV medication within 60 hours in case the man is HIV positive. Life to go on almost as normal. A breast feeding mother is not to smoke.

Foreign advisors are not aware of the dangers of lipodystrophy to people on ARV. They lose weight on their face, legs, arms, buttocks and stomach. But they put back weight on their stomach.

The fat ARV person can be afflicted with diabetes two and heart problems. So the person on ARV must take care with exercise, clean water and nutritious food. Perhaps that is a cause of the deaths of people on ARV medication. Please click:

Lipodystrophy is a problem with the way your body makes, uses, 
and stores fat. It's also called fat redistribution. Between 1/3 and 
1/2 of people who are HIV-positive get lipodystrophy. The 
number has gone up since antiretroviral therapy (ART) became 
common treatment for HIV.
