Health Educators

I believe the risk continuum for HIV from least risky to most risky behavior would be: kissing, deep kissing, oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex and IV drug use. So, if you add protected sex to the continuum would it be the following: kissing, deep kissing, protected oral sex, protected vaginal sex, protected anal sex, oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex and IV drug use.

Not sure kissing should be on the "less risky" end as opposed to just plain "no risk."

Any documented cases via kissing?

I prefer to concern students with known modes of infection...

Below is copied directly from the CDC website on HIV and kissing. CDC

agrees closed mouth kissing on the cheek is not a risk.

But reading further the CDC recommends against open mouth kissing. I am

not sure of their definition of open-mouth kissing, but in the MMWR

article deep kissing is called "deep kissing" so I assumed (maybe

incorrectly so) that open-mouth kissing is not necessarily a deep tongue

kiss.

ALSO, WHERE DO MASTERBATION by a partner and FINGERING FIT ON THE

CONTINUUM since there are body fluids involved?

Can I get HIV from kissing?

En Español

On the Cheek:

HIV is not transmitted casually, so kissing on the cheek is very safe.

Even if the other person has the virus, your unbroken skin is a good

barrier. No one has become infected from such ordinary social contact as

dry kisses, hugs, and handshakes.

Open-Mouth Kissing:

Open-mouth kissing is considered a very low-risk activity for the

transmission of HIV. However, prolonged open-mouth kissing could damage

the mouth or lips and allow HIV to pass from an infected person to a

partner and then enter the body through cuts or sores in the mouth.

Because of this possible risk, the CDC recommends against open-mouth

kissing with an infected partner.

One case suggests that a woman became infected with HIV from her sex

partner through exposure to contaminated blood during open-mouth

kissing.

For more information refer to the July 11, 1997, Morbidity and Mortality

Weekly Report "Transmission of HIV Possibly Associated with Exposure of

Mucous Membrane to Contaminated Blood" located at

Subject: Re: Global warming and Peak Oil as an immediate health concern

** Join AAHE

**

** Thank you Neena Chandra for

** your generous gift to the HEDIR!

**

HEDIRs:

A related health issue is "Peak Oil", appearing about the same time as

Global Warming. The way I explain the issue to those not familiar, is

to think about the changes you'll need to make personally when gasoline

reaches $10/gallon. But the concept involves accepting massive changes

in lifestyle as our society (and planet) "powers down" due the lack of

easily available oil. The study of "peak oil" - the point at which half

the total oil known to have existed in a field or a country has been

consumed - was developed based on a theory by Dr. M. King Hubbard, a

geophysicist, in the late '50s.

There are many websites addressing Peak Oil issues (some are below).

The professional domains that have already begun addressing the issue

(those Early Adopters) are Transportation, Energy, and Agriculture.

Healthcare, Social Services and Public Health (along with Governments

and the Business Communities) are fairly unaware. Public Health and

Health Care systems will be greatly affected, maybe not directly as

transportation, food systems, manufacturing, or energy will be, but

secondarily. Think about disposable medical equipment; latex gloves,

plastic syringes - all made with oil based products. And oil is

certainly involved in the making and distribution of immunizations. Oil

won't go away entirely, but over the next 10 - 30 years, it will become

more and more expensive and far less available. Vulnerable and

marginalized populations will be the first impacted.

The City of Portland, Oregon, is the first city in the US to look at

the impact of Peak Oil on their citizens. They've been addressing

Global Warming issues locally since 1993. Currently, they've set up a

task force to make recommendations to the City Commission and the Mayor.

I am chairing the Public and Social Services Subcommittee. We've been

interviewing people and looking at the impacts of Peak Oil on Public

Health and the medical system. If you have thoughts or comments, I

would be happy to take them to our subcommittee and the Task Force. The

Task Force is also charged with developing ideas for communicating the

Peak Oil concept to citizens in order to get them to conserve energy.

I've given them some information regarding what England (Great Britain?)

is doing regarding communicating Global Warming to their citizens. If

you have communication ideas; that would be helpful as well.

Here are some Peak Oil websites, plus Portland's Task Force:

Thanks,

I have cut and pasted from the replies I received from HEDIR about

faculty workload and internship. I didn't attach people's names to

their comments so if you want to know more about a specific reply,

email me and I'll see if I can tell who said what. Some people did

reply to HEDIR and some replied just to me. We haven't come to any

agreement with our administration yet, but we have more ideas. Thanks,

REPLIES:

What you receive at UMD (.25 CH per student enrolled so 4 students for

1 credit)

is just about right

We do not receive any credit for direct intern supervision

.35 of a semester hour assignment, 9 students are roughly 3 semester

hours.

One student taking 6 credits of internship (in a situation

similar to what you describe) gets 1 credit of load. Therefore, 3

students = 3 credits.

For a 3 credit course we need a minimum of 15 for an

undergraduate class. For our 9 credit internship one would think we

would

only need five...according to the administrators we need 15...

1/2 credit per student intern, whether the internship is 3 credits (150

hours/semester) or 6 credits (300 hours/semester).

Our internship supervisor does all of the internship applications,

placements, site visits and evaluation (we do pass/no pass). He

receives credit for teaching two three-credit hour courses per year for

this work. In other words instead of teaching eight three-credit

courses, which is a full load for an academic year, he teaches six

three-credit courses and internship counts as two courses?. for .33

unit per student, therefore 3 students for 1 WTU.

My experience is that the person who finds internships gets one course

release per academic year.

Faculty get a 3 credit hour assignment no matter how many interns.

We receive faculty load credit according to the credit hours generated.

We use the same formula for student teaching loads.

HP 489 Internship (offered for 10-15 credit hrs)

(faculty load = # of students x hrs /21)

E.g., 6 students who take the internship for 10 hrs each is 60/21 or a

faculty load of about

1 course (2.86 credit hrs)

Required faculty load is 9 credit hrs one semester and 6 the other

I'm not sure how the faculty is paid, but the students have to take

a 0 credit course before their internship as a graduation requirement

and

that instructor recruits preceptors, helps students with resumes etc.

It is seen as one 3 hr course for me...regardless of the # of students

taking the course at one time.

We have a 1/2 time internship coordinator. She has a masters degree

and conducts a "pre internship seminar" - a 2 credit hour course

students take prior to placement...this was requested by our students

and we were able to develop it by "re arranging" our credits in the

major. She is responsible for recruitment on internship sites, all

contact, and evaluation of the student.

1 professor is assigned 15 students/interns for a 3 credit hours

course, and we currently have 2 sections?. We have just started

offering/requiring a "pre-internship course" that students must take

the semester prior to their internship. This 3 credit course is taught

by the same person covering internships.

For every 24 credits generated from internships, the faculty member

receives 1 credit of load.

Thank you for your good response.

See Ansa's post.

A suggestion to HEDIRers. The goal is mobilization toward collaboration to

reduce GW and other forms of HD. One way is to bring the topic up at

professional conferences using panel or workshop formats. For example, a

panel with representatives from kindred organizations might begin a strategy

and tactics for collaboration and other actions. In the USA pressure needs

to be put on the national government to act. States need to emulate

California. Universities, including research universities, need to include

advocacy along with research and teaching endeavors.

What are the HEHP section of APHA, AAHE, ASHA, SOPHE, and the ACHA doing in

these vital areas in terms of preventive action? What are Schools of Public

Health doing besides research?

On Friday I will give a talk to the congregation at a conservative Jewish

Synagogue on the topic, "A Dummy's Guide to Dying and Death." The

congregation members are all parents and grandparents. By definition they

are concerned abouut the future. You can bet I'll cover our topic, and try

to galvanize to action.
