Balancing HIV Education with Student Philanthropy

 

The body is constantly seeking a state of balance for maintaining optimal conditions for its efficient functioning. While the body works to fight the HIV virus, gHIVe (prononced "give" wih a silent H), will develop 3D modeled digital media to restore positive balance between HIV education and the physical, sociological and psychological effects of the disease. Listed below are the five main categories of our digital media projects along with the critical 'balance' issues related to each topic.

 

 

Overarching 'Balance' Issues 

  • The balance between classwork and philantrophy

  • Balancing community service and HIV education

  • The balance of power between HIV and the immune system

  • The balance between HIV/AIDS Treatment and Intellectual Property Rights

  • The balance between entertainment and education in the development of HIV/AIDS media

  • The balance between diet and an effective immune system

 

Testing

  • The ethical balance between the right not to know one’s HIV status and the rights to care and prevention

  • Determining the relationship between decisional balance items and HIV testing as well as perceived risk and HIV testing

  • The balance between HIV education programs and tradition, culture and religion

  • Identifying the right balance between prevention and treatment

  • Achieving balance between public health and civil liberties by using a system unique identifiers and patient names in HIV tracking 

 

Antiretroviral Drugs

  • The balance between detoxification (liver function) and drug therapy

  • The dynamic balance between the factors that contribute to the occurrence of immune escape

  • Antiretroviral treatment outcomes may depend on a balance between the size of the reservoir of latently HIV-infected cells and how effectively the patient’s cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) control emerging HIV infection

  • The favorable balance between enzyme inhibition and substrate recognition and turnover that prevents drug resistance

  • The balance between reduced infectivity and other epidemiological or behavioral factors, such as the longer lifespan of people who receive ART and possible shifts in community-level risk behavior

  • Striking a balance between Efficacy, Feasibility, and Resistance pertaining to Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV

Adherence

  • Balancing adherence concerns with the risk of HIV disease progression

  • The balance of economic concerns with HIV treatment adherence

  • Increasing rates of viral suppression at high levels of adherence is balanced by increasing rates of drug resistance

  • The reduction in the degree of viral replication and pathogenicity may constructively shift the delicate balance between the host and the virus

  • The balance of medication adherence and medication side effects and distress through adaptive coping

 

Vaccine/Cure

  • Balancing risk versus Benefit in HIV-1 vaccine development

  • Antibody persistence and T-cell balance

  • Vaccine balance is defined as the one that can spur the body into action, but not make a person sick

  • Immune responses to vaccines have to be balanced and persistent

  • The level of protection of a vaccine can be interpreted as the balance between the responses to the vaccine that lead to susceptibility to infection and by the responses that favor protection
