|
HIV: Where In Our Body Does This Virus Live?
Where in our body does HIV live? HIV is not visible to the human eye, but it lives in our body fluid (saliva, blood, sperm). How is the virus spread to other people?

In Africa 25million people are living with AIDS.

PNG Crisis: HIV Spread by promiscuity and lack of information : Part 2 of 6
Statistics report from CIS PNG (Centre for Independent Study) in 2007. In PNG, 118,000 people have AIDS. AIDS is coming closer to Arnhem Land from other places across the ocean. In 20 years, it’s predicted that 500,000 will have the disease. Through sexual contact (promiscuity and adultery), this disease is spreading. Because people with HIV don’t look sick it might be confusing or mysterious for Yolngu. Just because someone is beautiful and healthy looking does not mean that they are not a carrier of HIV, it can take years before HIV turns into AIDS. The people of PNG are confused about the virus and how it is transmitted. 10:42 |
|
PNG Crisis: Who has it? & How many? : Part 3 of 6
500,000 people are predicted to have HIV/AIDS in the next 20 years in PNG. The main age group affected will be people aged 15-49. This is the most sexually active age group who are also more likely to have multiple partners, therefore they are the highest risk group. Most of those young people may die. HIV and AIDS are most prevalent in Africa, India, Asia and PNG. HIV is likened to the rapid spread of cane toads. The cane toad, buffalo, pig and balanda are already here, this is a new different one that people need to learn about. 14:35 |

PNG Crisis: Leaders don't believe, people think it is sorcery: Part 4 of 6
HIV/AIDS is more prevalent in places like Africa and PNG because people and their leaders are not taking it seriously. Some leaders blame the deaths of millions of people on sorcery, for this reason many women have been tortured and killed in PNG; they do not believe in AIDS and are too ashamed to talk about it. Therefore, there is very little education about prevention. In Africa 25 million people have HIV/AIDS. It is predicted there will be 40 million orphaned children due to AIDS.

PNG Crisis: Why Ngapaki believe- The Plague! : Part 5 of 6
History of the Plague: how it spread and killed millions due to a lack of understanding. The balanda also blamed sorcery and many people were killed for it. It wasn't until the microscope was invented that they discovered the tiny animals (a virus) that makes people sick. They are yet to understand the HIV/AIDS virus in PNG and Africa. When balanda came to Australia they brought seven diseases that killed so many Aboriginal people. 17:08 |
|
PNG Crisis: How many sicknesses did ngapaki bring to Australia ? : Part 6 of 6
Australia and Aboriginal people had no diseases prior to the first explorers landing near Sydney. They introduced seven different diseases that have since killed thousands of aboriginal people all over Australia. There was very little understanding of disease in Europe at that time too. Now many of these diseases don't affect balanda as much but are still a big problem for Aboriginal people. 10:42 |
