What I have learned….
I have learned a lot in the past few days. I watched two of the videos for the movie reviews and was floored to find out the statistics from back in the 80’s. It shows the magnitude of the disease and how clueless everyone was. I learned a lot about different diseases as well.
DID YOU KNOW?
HIV can be transmitted through blood transfusions- In hemophiliacs in the 80’s HIV was the leading cause of death. Most hemophiliacs were given infected blood transfusions and got the disease. In 1985, HIV antibody testing was created and the problem was solved for future cases but as for the thousands who already contracted HIV there was no turning back.
My progress….
I am done watching two of my four videos and am working on my signs and symptoms module for Friday. I have also been looking at next weeks assignment and getting ready to start it.

Kinda short, Ashley. What have you learned? The movies were designed to bring you through the early days of HIV and what wasn't being done. It helps students to have a perspective on how things could easily return to those days if nothing is done to educate.
ReplyDeleteYou did you know fact was interesting this week, I had no idea blood transfusions were the leading cause of death after being infected.
