And teachers must say that the laws of physics and chemistry "are due to Allah's rules and laws."
A more extreme example of intelligent design.
I have also seen/heard of circumstances where "doing the minimum to keep the thing working" is allowed but actually improving the code is not because improving the code counts as "new work" and comes from a different budget than maintenance. Seems stupid but that's how some shops operate.
"The minimum to keep the thing working" nearly always implies improving the code. All developers need to realize this and stop this silly false dichotomy between "maintenance" and "refactoring".
IMO, developers know there isn't a difference but management does not.
Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up.

As a manager at the Harvard Chan School, your role is crucial to your staff's success – and to SPH's success as well. Your judgment steers our hiring decisions, and your encouragement helps new employees become familiar and engaged with the SPH community. Day by day, your actions and leadership motivate and guide your staff to excel at their jobs and pursue their goals. Overall, your commitment to both SPH and your staff is vital to maintaining the productive and rewarding community that drew you and others to our School.
We recognize that you have many responsibilities in addition to those of being a manager. For this reason, we're happy to provide tools and resources (including consultation with an HR professional at any time) to help you supervise and lead those who report to you. On these pages you'll find help in handling the various tasks of managing, such as posting a position, navigating the performance management process, dealing with leaves of absence, and developing staff. Also, because we look to today's managers to transform and lead SPH into the future, we offer Leadership Development programs especially aimed at managers.

- Recruiting and Hiring
- Performance Management, Goal Setting, and Progressive Discipline
- Compensation and Job Reclassifications
- Work/Life Integration and Employee Assistance
- Leaves of Absence
- Engaging and Developing Staff

- Organizational Effectiveness
- Access to Systems
- Employee Departure Toolkit
HR Partners, Policies, and Union Agreements
Your HR Partner is truly your partner when it comes to addressing all types of workplace matters, providing guidance, advice, and answers that are informed by a deep understanding of SPH managers' particular business needs and challenges. He or she is available to guide and coach you on matters such as recruitment, employee relations, organizational development, new employee on-boarding, compensation, retention, and career development, and may also connect you with existing resources within SPH and across all of Harvard to ensure that your needs are met.
Policies and Union Agreements
Click here for a menu of policy statements, union agreements, forms, sample letters, checklists, and tips sheets for a variety of management topics including: Hiring, benefits, job reviews, performance management, compensation, independent contractors, progressive discipline, leaves, employee departures, records management, and HR systems.

Recruiting and Hiring
Your first managerial responsibility with respect to building your team is to recruit and hire top talent. Our Hiring Manager's Guide provides a comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap for this process, from posting a position through conducting a 90-day performance review.

Compensation and Job Reviews/Reclassifications
Compensation: SPH's salary review process is conducted annually by June 30. For HUCTW staff, please consult your HUCTW Contract. If you have questions regarding compensation, you should consult with your manager or your HR Partner.
Job Reviews/Reclassification: When a staff member's job content and responsibilities have grown, it can be a good idea to review the position to ensure it is classified in the appropriate grade. If you have further questions, you should consult with your manager or your HR Partner.

Work/Life Integration
The benefits of working at SPH go well beyond salary and insurance. We are committed to helping employees succeed at balancing their life and work commitments, and encourage managers to extend that commitment to their teams. Please become familiar with Harvard's many work/life benefits and communicate them to those who report to you.
Employee Assistance
Often employees are affected by events and circumstances beyond the workplace, or they may have trouble balancing responsibilities at work. The signals and results may be burnout, distraction from work, physical illness, or a myriad of other negative consequences. It's important for managers to be alert to changes in performance, behavior, or attitude. Harvard provides many supports for employees: HARVie Overview of EAP Services.

Recognizing and Helping the Stressed or Troubled Employee
Sometimes employees are affected by personal circumstances that affect their general well-being and ability to perform their job. SPH recently piloted workshops for managers on how to recognize and help stressed and troubled employees in the workplace. These sessions were facilitated by Harvard's Employee Assistance Program, The Wellness Corporation. Click below to access the following information:

Engaging and Developing Staff
SPH staff are encouraged, engaged, and rewarded in many ways, well beyond their base pay. One route to employee engagement, which may be initiated or communicated by managers, is leading and motivating. The best managers – those whose teams are capable of the greatest impact – are those who take action to ensure that workers are engaged in their work, in the SPH community, and in our mission. ManageMentor offers online interactive instruction in becoming a motivational manager.
Recognizing and rewarding is another strategy for employee engagement. Positive feedback has a powerful effect on all of us. For this reason, SPH celebrates employee achievements in many ways. We encourage managers to make a habit of recognizing and rewarding staff as well as colleagues.
Developing Staff
Harvard has several resources to help staff acquire the skills and knowledge to perform well in their current job, as well as prepare for future opportunities. Click here to explore resources available to you and your staff.

AIDS Resource Center Ohio (ARC Ohio) is announcing a call for entries for art and design work to be used in a series of promotional material of its Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) campaign. Artists are being asked to submit culturally relevant images that communicate the advantages of PrEP to various groups. Artists should create work that speaks to heterosexual partnerships, same sex partnerships, serodiscordant couples, injection drug users, or race/ethnic-specific themes in a way that communicates the advantages of PrEP to a variety of different identities and cultural backgrounds.
To best communicate the advantages of PrEP in a culturally relevant way to the people who benefit from it most.
Duration of Call for Entries: January 25 – February 15
Review Date: February 17
Notification Date: February 19
Artwork should be submitted as a digital image.
There is no number to the limit of submissions that can be made.
Files should be PDF file format, 300dpi or greater, CMYK color profile.
Sizes can range from 8"x10 to 18"x24".
Text can be included in the image and will be considered as part of the review.
Works selected to be used as part of the PrEP campaign will be judged on two criteria: quality of the image and cultural relevancy. AIDS Resource Center Ohio will be looking for works that clearly communicate their concept, are well produced, and that speak to an audience.
For each image selected for use in the campaign, AIDS Resource Center Ohio will provide the artist $150 monetary reward for using their design as well as appropriate recognition of the artist in association with the work.
PrEP is short for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is a once daily pill taken to reduce the likelihood of contracting HIV. When taken every day as prescribed, PrEP is over% effective at preventing HIV. PrEP is different than PEP, or post-exposure prophylaxis, and requires a prescription as well as special health considerations. More information can be found at www.ohioprep.org.
|AIDS Resource Center Ohio (ARC Ohio) offers non-occupational PEP at our ARC Ohio Columbus Medical Center and ARC Ohio Dayton Medical Center. Please call Columbus at (614) 340-6777 or Dayton at (937) 853-3650 to schedule an appointment.
If you are looking for information about PrEP (PRE-Exposure Prophylaxis) please go here.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is medication that you can take if you are HIV negative and you think you may have been exposed to HIV. It is an emergency strategy to reduce the chance of you becoming HIV positive. When started early enough, PEP works by preventing HIV from making copies of itself and spreading through your body.
There are two types of PEP:
(1) occupational PEP (sometimes called "oPEP"), taken when someone working in a healthcare setting is potentially exposed to material infected with HIV, and
(2) non-occupational PEP (sometimes called "nPEP"), taken when someone is potentially exposed to HIV outside the workplace (e.g., from sexual assault, during episodes of unprotected sex or needle-sharing injection drug use). PEP consists of 2-3 antiretroviral medications and should be taken for 28 days. Your doctor will determine what treatment is right for you based on how you were exposed to HIV.
PEP is not 100% effective; it does not guarantee that someone exposed to HIV will not become infected with HIV. However, the sooner it is started the more likely it is to be effective. It is not a substitute for other proven HIV prevention methods, such as correct and consistent condom use or use of sterile injection equipment.
To be effective, PEP must begin within 72 hours of exposure, before the virus has time to make too many copies of itself in your body. PEP is safe but may cause side effects like nausea in some people. These side effects can be treated and are not life threatening.
AIDS Resource Center Ohio (ARC Ohio) does not currently offer occupational PEP. If you have had a work related exposure, you should notify your supervisor immediately to determine the appropriate protocol for your workplace setting.
PEP is used in an emergency situation when someone may have been exposed to HIV during a single event. Your doctor will ask questions to help determine if PEP is right for you. Some exposures are lower risk than others and may not require PEP. PEP may be appropriate in the following circumstances:
Yes. You can take PEP if you are pregnant but you must let your doctor know so that the two of you can discuss the risks and benefits. This information will also help your provide pick out the most appropriate medication for you.
You should not breastfeed for 3 months after the exposure to ensure that you are HIV negative.
Because PEP is not 100% effective, you should continue to use condoms with sex partners while taking PEP and should not use injection equipment that has been used by others. This will help avoid spreading the virus to others if you become infected.
To be effective, PEP should be started as quickly as possible. Ideally the medications should be taken within 2 hours of exposure but it may still be effective if started within 72 hours of exposure. PEP is not like taking the one-time pregnancy "morning after-pill". It must be taken every single day for 28 days.
Your healthcare provider will consider whether PEP is right for you based on how you might have been exposed and whether you know if the person whose fluids you were exposed to might be HIV-positive. You will be asked to return for more HIV testing at 4 to 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after the potential exposure to HIV. (Talk to your healthcare provider about the recommended follow-up schedule for you.)
While on PEP and for 3 months after your exposure, you should take extra measures to protect yourself and others.
PEP may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, fatigue and dizziness in the first few weeks but these symptoms usually resolve themselves over time. Special lab work such as kidney function testing will be done to ensure that you are healthy enough to take PEP medications.
If you start PEP and experience side effects, continue to take your medications as prescribed but notify your provider right away.
Medicaid and most private insurance plans will cover the cost of PEP appointments, lab work and medications less any co-pays or co-insurance for which you are responsible. If you do not have insurance, you and your provider can talk about self-pay arrangements for the doctor visit and labwork. There are prescription assistance programs available through the drug manufacturers that may be able to help cover the cost of medications.
If you have experienced sexual assault there may be additional forms of assistance available to you. Contact the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence (www.oaesv.org) for more information.
Right after you complete your PEP medications you will be given an HIV test and again in about 2 months you will be given a follow up test to make sure that you did not contract HIV from your recent exposure. A final test at 6 months post exposure may also be recommended depending on your circumstances.
If you have ongoing high risk exposures, you and your doctor should talk about regular condom use and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) which is a single medication that is taken to help prevent the spread of HIV. PrEP can have side effects such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue and dizziness in the first few weeks of taking the medication. These symptoms usually resolve themselves over time. Other possible side effects include changes in kidney function and bone density so it is important to get check-ups with your physician every 2-3 months while taking PrEP.
For more information, see the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Updated (2013) U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines for the Management of Occupational Exposures to Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Recommendations for Postexposure Prophylaxis (oPEP) or Nonoccupational Postexposure Prophylaxis (nPEP) Guidelines.
Columbus is currently having an outbreak of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can have very serious complications when left untreated. If you are sexually active, we encourage you to get tested, and if necessary – get treated. Condoms can be effective in preventing syphilis and other STIs. PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) doesn't protect you from STIs like syphilis.
See the Columbus Public Health website and advisory information about the current syphilis outbreak: http://columbus.gov/publichealth/alerts/Columbus-Syphilis-Outbreak/
Free, confidential Syphilis testing is available from ARC Ohio in conjunction with the Columbus Public Health Department. Syphilis testing includes a blood test.

Syphilis is an STD that can cause long-term complications if not treated correctly. Symptoms in adults are divided into stages. These stages are primary, secondary, latent, and late syphilis.
You can get syphilis by direct contact with a syphilis sore during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Sores can be found on the penis, vagina, anus, in the rectum, or on the lips and in the mouth. Syphilis can also be spread from an infected mother to her unborn baby.
Syphilis has been called 'the great imitator' because it has so many possible symptoms, many of which look like symptoms from other diseases. The painless syphilis sore that you would get after you are first infected can be confused for an ingrown hair, zipper cut, or other seemingly harmless bump. The non-itchy body rash that develops during the second stage of syphilis can show up on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet, all over your body, or in just a few places. You could also be infected with syphilis and have very mild symptoms or none at all.
Symptoms of syphilis in adults can be divided into stages:
During the first (primary) stage of syphilis, you may notice a single sore, but there may be multiple sores. The sore is the location where syphilis entered your body. The sore is usually firm, round, and painless. Because the sore is painless, it can easily go unnoticed. The sore lasts 3 to 6 weeks and heals regardless of whether or not you receive treatment. Even though the sore goes away, you must still receive treatment so your infection does not move to the secondary stage.
During the secondary stage, you may have skin rashes and/or sores in your mouth, vagina, or anus (also called mucous membrane lesions). This stage usually starts with a rash on one or more areas of your body. The rash can show up when your primary sore is healing or several weeks after the sore has healed. The rash can look like rough, red, or reddish brown spots on the palms of your hands and/or the bottoms of your feet. The rash usually won't itch and it is sometimes so faint that you won't notice it. Other symptoms you may have can include fever, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches, and fatigue (feeling very tired). The symptoms from this stage will go away whether or not you receive treatment. Without the right treatment, your infection will move to the latent and possibly late stages of syphilis.
The latent stage of syphilis begins when all of the symptoms you had earlier disappear. If you do not receive treatment, you can continue to have syphilis in your body for years without any signs or symptoms. Most people with untreated syphilis do not develop late stage syphilis. However, when it does happen it is very serious and would occur 10–30 years after your infection began. Symptoms of the late stage of syphilis include difficulty coordinating your muscle movements, paralysis (not able to move certain parts of your body), numbness, blindness, and dementia (mental disorder). In the late stages of syphilis, the disease damages your internal organs and can result in death.
A syphilis infection is called an 'early' case if a patient has been infected for a year or less, such as during the primary or secondary stages of syphilis. People who have 'early' syphilis infections can more easily spread the infection to their sex partners. The majority of early syphilis cases are currently found among men who have sex with men, but women and unborn children are also at risk of infection.
Most of the time, a blood test can be used to test for syphilis. Some health care providers will diagnose syphilis by testing fluid from a syphilis sore.
Yes, syphilis can be cured with the right antibiotics from your health care provider. However, treatment will not undo any damage that the infection has already done.
If you believe you are at risk for HIV disease, you may also be at risk for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs – formerly known as STDs). Unsafe sexual activity and the sharing of needles during injection drug use are behaviors that put you at risk.
Early diagnosis through STI testing and early treatment are actions you can take to protect your health from these diseases.
|PrEP is short for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and is a once daily pill taken to reduce the likelihood of contracting HIV. When taken everyday, PrEP can be up to 99% effective at preventing HIV. Truvada® (tenofovir/emtricitabine) is the only FDA-approved drug currently available for PrEP treatment. PrEP is different than PEP, or post-exposure prophylaxis, and requires a prescription as well as special health considerations.
To read more about ARC Ohio's position on PrEP visit this Outlook Magazine story: http://outlookcolumbus.com/2014/06/is-this-pill-the-answer/
Project Inform has developed several videos exploring
PrEP may be prescribed for anyone at high risk for HIV who is okay with taking a pill daily to prevent HIV. The most high-risk populations for contracting HIV include men who have sex with men, intravenous drug users and people in a relationship where one partner is living with HIV.
If you are interested in beginning a PrEP regimen, you should start by having an honest conversation with your healthcare provider. Before being prescribed PrEP, you will need to get a blood test to show that you are HIV negative, so it may take some time. Additionally, you will need to continue to be tested for HIV and meet with your doctor regularly.
Taking PrEP does not mean that you do not need to wear condoms. When taken every day, PrEP significantly reduces risk for HIV; studies show it is 92%-99% effective. However, PrEP is not effective against the transmission of other Sexually Transmitted Infections or pregnancy. For this reason, the use of condoms is still strongly encouraged during all sexual activity.
No. PrEP medicine is not injected into the body and does not work the same way as a vaccine. A vaccine teaches your body to fight off infection for several years. For PrEP, you take a pill every day by mouth. The pill that was shown to be safe and to help block HIV infection is called Truvada® (pronounced tru vá duh). Truvada® is a combination of two drugs (tenofovir and emtricitabine) and is the only currently FDA-approved drug available for PrEP treatment. If you take PrEP daily, the presence of the medicine in your bloodstream can often stop HIV from taking hold and spreading in your body. If you do not take PrEP every day, there may not be enough medicine in your bloodstream to block the virus.
Most private insurance plans will cover a prescription for PrEP. However, without insurance coverage, PrEP can be very expensive. Taking Truvada® daily will cost about $13,000 a year out of pocket. Talk to your insurer to learn more about how PrEP will fit in with your health plan. Our PrEP program includes ongoing support and insurance navigation, which makes access to PrEP possible for many.
Missing doses will not cause immunity but taking Truvada® while HIV positive will. Truvada® is not sufficient to treat HIV alone, so it is important to be tested for HIV before starting PrEP. If you do contract HIV at any time while taking Truvada®, the HIV strain could develop immunity, which could eliminate Truvada® as an effective treatment option.
Studies show that when taken everyday, Truvada® can be between up to 99% effective at preventing the HIV virus from taking hold within your body. However, it is critical that the pill is taken regularly every day. Skipping days will significantly decrease the effectiveness of Truvada®. According to the iPrex study:
Some people taking Truvada® report nausea, vomiting, fatigue and dizziness in the first few weeks of taking PrEP. These symptoms usually resolve themselves over time. Other possible side effects include changes in kidney function and bone density so it is important to get check-ups with your physician every 2-3 months while taking PrEP.
In May 2015, Columbus Public Health launched a citywide all-to-action for healthcare providers to discuss, screen, administer, or refer high-risk patients for PrEP.
"Columbus Public Health Recommends PrEP for HIV Prevention Issues Healthcare Alert
We are seeing the first major medical breakthrough in HIV prevention in the last 30 years. Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has been shown to be an effective method for primary HIV prevention and could lead to substantial reductions in HIV transmission among high-risk individuals. Currently, there are nearly 4,200 residents living with HIV in Franklin County and HIV diagnoses have increased by 7% since 2003.
Multiple studies have now demonstrated the effectiveness of PrEP using a fixed-dose combination of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg and emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg (Truvada®) in reducing the number of new HIV infections.
In accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and recommendations, CPH is launching a citywide call-to-action for healthcare providers to discuss, screen, administer or refer high-risk patients for PrEP."

Every year more than 15 million new STI cases are diagnosed in the United States. STIs are more common than most people think especially among young, sexually active individuals.
Most STIs are easily cured if they are caught early. Unfortunately, many people don't seek treatment because they have no symptoms and are unaware that they are infected or because they are uncomfortable getting treatment from their regular health care provider. If left untreated, some STIs can cause severe health problems or even death.
ARC Ohio offers STI testing at select offices in a confidential and supportive environment that is sensitive to your needs. We believe in early diagnosis and treatment of STIs to optimize your health.
At this time, STI (Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis) testing is only available in our Columbus locations in partnership with Columbus Public Health. HIV/STD testing times and locations are available in the calendar below.

Over the course of the domestic epidemic HIV or the Human Immunodeficiency Virus has progressed from what was once considered a death sentence to now a longterm chronic illness. Studies have shown that an individual who begins treatment and remains adherent to their medication is 96% less likely to transmit the virus, However, 1 in 5 people living with HIV don't know that they have it. Of those that do, only 1 in 4 are on medications, adherent, and virally suppressed - which underscores the importance of knowing your status and being linked to care.
HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and in some may lead to AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Over time, and without treatment, HIV gradually destroys the body's defenses against disease, leaving it vulnerable to many infections and cancers that do not normally develop. Even without treatment, some people living with HIV have no symptoms; some have mild health problems, while others have severe health problems associated with AIDS.
With proper treatment, some people now living with HIV may never develop AIDS. Studies suggest that starting treatment early in the course of infection can significantly improve long-term treatment success with near normal life expectancy.
HIV is a virus. AIDS is a condition brought about by the virus HIV. You can have HIV without having AIDS.
Human: because this virus can only infect human beings.
Immuno-deficiency: because the effect of the virus is to create a deficiency, or a failure to work properly, within the body's immune system.
Virus: because this organism is a virus, which means one of its characteristics is that it is incapable of reproducing by itself. It reproduces by taking over the machinery of the human cell.
Acquired: because it is a condition one must acquire or get infected with; not something transmitted through the genes
Immune: because it affects the body's immune system, the part of the body which usually works to fight off germs such as bacteria and viruses
Deficiency: because it makes the immune system deficient (makes it not work properly)
Syndrome: because someone with AIDS may experience a wide range of different diseases and opportunistic infections
HIV can be transmitted from an infected person to another through:
Blood contains the highest concentration of the virus, followed by semen, followed by vaginal fluids, followed by breast milk.
Unprotected sexual contact Direct blood contact, particularly through sharing injection drug needles. Infections due to blood transfusions, accidents in health care settings or certain blood products are possible, although they are extremely rare nowadays in the United States.
Sexual Intercourse (vaginal and anal): In the genitals and the rectum, HIV may infect the mucous membranes directly or enter through cuts and sores caused during intercourse (many of which would be unnoticed). Anal and vaginal intercourse are high-risk practices.
Oral Sex (mouth-penis, mouth-vagina): The mouth is an inhospitable environment for HIV (in semen, vaginal fluid or blood), meaning the risk of HIV transmission through the throat, gums, and oral membranes is lower than through vaginal or anal membranes. There are documented cases where HIV was transmitted orally, so we can't say that getting HIV-infected semen, vaginal fluid or blood in the mouth is without risk. However, oral sex is considered a low risk practice.
Sharing Injection Needles: An injection needle can pass blood directly from one person's bloodstream to another. It is a very efficient way to transmit a blood-borne virus. Sharing needles is considered a high-risk practice.
Mother to Child: Mother to child transmission is now rare in the US and other developed countries because pregnant women who are HIV-positive are normally given medications to prevent the fetus from getting infected. However, it is possible for an HIV-infected mother to pass the virus directly before or during birth, or through breast milk. Breast milk contains HIV, and while small amounts of breast milk do not pose significant threat of infection to adults, it is a viable means of transmission to infants.
The following "bodily fluids" are NOT infectious:
Primary HIV infection is the first stage of HIV disease, when the virus first establishes itself in the body. Some researchers use the term acute HIV infection to describe the period of time between when a person is first infected with HIV and when antibodies against the virus are produced by the body (usually 6- 12 weeks).
Some people newly infected with HIV will experience some "flu-like" symptoms. These symptoms, which usually last no more than a few days, might include fevers, chills, night sweats and rashes (not cold-like symptoms). Many other people either do not experience acute symptoms, or have symptoms so mild that they may not notice them.
Given the general character of the symptoms of acute infection, they can easily have causes other than HIV, such as a flu infection. For example, if you had some risk for HIV a few days ago and are now experiencing flu-like symptoms, it might be possible that HIV is responsible for the symptoms, but it is also possible that you have some other viral infection.
There are no common symptoms for individuals diagnosed with AIDS. When immune system damage is more severe, people may experience opportunistic infections (called "opportunistic" because they are caused by organisms which cannot induce disease in people with normal immune systems, but take the "opportunity" to flourish in people with HIV). Most of these more severe infections, diseases, and symptoms fall under the Centers for Disease Control's definition of AIDS. The median time to receive an AIDS diagnosis among those infected with HIV is 7-10 years.
The time it takes for a person who has been infected with HIV to seroconvert (test positive) for HIV antibodies is commonly called the "Window Period".
Recent studies show that a test taken at least 12 weeks (3 months) after the last possible exposure to the virus provides highly accurate results. Based on those studies, many testing clinics use a 3 month window period. Rarely, a person could take up to six months to produce antibodies and that is almost always a person with a severely compromised immune system due to another disease, such as leukemia.
If you test negative on an antibody test taken 3 months or longer after your last possible risk of possible exposure to HIV, you can feel safe in assuming that you do not have the virus. If for some reason you feel anxiety about relying on the 3-month result, you could opt to have another test taken again at 6 months.
Anonymous and confidential use the same testing method; the only difference is one does not have your name attached to the results.
Anonymous antibody testing is available at Anonymous Test Sites. Anonymous testing means that absolutely no one has access to your test results since your name is never recorded at the test site. It is always a good idea to contact the testing clinic directly to confirm what type of test is available.
Confidential antibody testing means that you and the health care provider know your results, which may be recorded in your medical file.
A positive result means that:
A negative result means that:
A negative result does NOT mean:
Testing positive for HIV means that you now carry the virus that causes AIDS. It does not mean that you have AIDS, nor does it mean that you will die as a result of the infection. Although there is no cure for AIDS, many opportunistic infections that make people sick can be controlled, prevented or eliminated. This has substantially increased the longevity and quality of life for people living with HIV.
The short answer is yes. There are things that you can do to stay healthy.
Emotional support may be very important for HIV-positive people because it breaks the isolation and provides a safe way of sharing both feelings and practical information
Medical Care: Once you find a primary care provider, your main objective is to get an evaluation of your general health and immune function.
Many doctors do the following:
If you are already infected with one or more of these other illnesses, there may be treatments or prophylaxis available to prevent it from becoming more serious or recurring in the future. If you are not already infected, doctors may be able to prevent future infection by:
Although there have been many advances in HIV treatments and therapies in recent years that have dramatically improved the quality of life and life expectancy of persons with HIV/AIDS in the US and other developed countries, there is, as of yet, no cure.
If you believe you are at risk for HIV disease, you may also be at risk for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs – formerly known as STDs). Unsafe sexual activity and the sharing of needles during injection drug use are behaviors that put you at risk.
Early diagnosis through STI testing and early treatment are actions you can take to protect your health from these diseases.
Forget what you've heard about treatment for HIV. HIV treatment today is a world away from what it was even two years ago. There are more options than ever before, many of which involve fewer pills, fewer doses, and fewer side effects than medications from the early days of the epidemic.
There is now a wide range of HIV medications available to people in the United States that fall into six different categories according to the method by which they interfere with HIV reproducing itself in the body. The range of medications is important, because to be effective the drugs must be taken in combination with others in order to attack the virus from many different points in the replication process. This is often called, "combination therapy," on an HIV "regimen." Although no singular regimen can cure HIV, they are able, by and large, to prevent further damage to your body once you start taking them. The most important thing about therapy is "adherence," or taking your medications everyday as they're prescribed. Missing doses can lead to the virus finding ways around your drugs and developing resistance. The better your treatment adherence, the better your chances for living a long and healthy life on treatment.
The two key markers that are used to gauge how well the meds are working are viral load (a measure of how much virus is in your blood stream) and T-cell count (a measure of the health of your immune system). The goal is to have an undetectable viral load and a high T-cell count. The San Francisco Department of Public Health now recommends that people start taking HIV medications as soon as they find out they are infected.
As soon as you test positive, the first thing to do is find the most experienced HIV specialist you can. ARC Ohio can help you find the right provider in your area. Generally, you should visit your doctor for a checkup every three months to find out if and how the HIV in your body is progressing.
In addition to determining your T-cell count and viral load, your doctor should also conduct resistance tests to determine which medications will work best for you given the particular variation of the virus in your body and what meds it is resistant to. Then you and your doctor will have a clear picture of how HIV has progressed in your body and what medications you should start taking.

If you believe you may be at risk for HIV disease the most important action you can take is to get an HIV test. Knowing your HIV status – whether you are, or are not infected with HIV – empowers you to make decisions so you can live a long healthy life.
ARC Ohio provides free HIV testing at many convenient locations throughout Ohio. It is an easy test to take. An oral swab that is quick and painless will provide you with test results in twenty minutes. Your HIV test will be administered by a specialist from ARC Ohio who will explain the test and ask for your written consent to be tested. The tester will also provide you with information on how to reduce your risk for HIV infection and will answer all your questions with sensitivity to your concerns.
You will have the choice of getting an anonymous HIV test or a confidential HIV test.
An anonymous HIV test does not require you to provide your name or other personal identifiable information. A number or an alternative identifier will be used to track your HIV test. Your personal identity will not be disclosed for the HIV test.
A confidential HIV test requires that you provide your name and other personal identifying information for purposes of tracking your HIV test. Your personal identity will be disclosed for the HIV test.
You will receive your HIV test results during your testing appointment. The HIV specialist will explain your results and answer any questions you may have. Your test results will be either HIV negative or HIV reactive.
HIV negative
If your test is HIV negative it means that no antibodies to HIV were detected in your body. However, it can take up to three months after you may have been exposed to HIV for your body to produce enough antibodies to be detected by the test. If you have not had an HIV risk activity in the past three months you are considered to be HIV negative with no HIV infection. If you have had an HIV risk activity within the past three months we recommend that you return for another HIV test three months following your most recent risk activity to confirm your HIV negative status.
HIV reactive
If your test is HIV reactive it means that HIV antibodies have been detected in your body. A confirmatory HIV test is then required to double check whether HIV antibodies are present. This is done through a blood draw that is processed at a medical laboratory. If the results of this confirmatory test are positive for HIV antibodies then you will have a diagnosis of HIV infection.
Not knowing your HIV status may have major consequences for your health. If you are HIV infected, not knowing this fact means your treatment for HIV is delayed which may result in severe illness. Knowing your status means that you can take action to get the immediate medical care you need for successful treatment and a long healthy life. You will also be better able to take precautions to protect your loved ones and partners from HIV.
If you are not infected with HIV, knowing this fact means that you have been tested for HIV and have received expert counseling on how HIV is transmitted and how to reduce your risk for HIV infection. Not being tested for HIV means that you may not understand this life saving HIV risk reduction information.
ARC Ohio provides more than 4,000 free HIV tests every year at various ARC Ohio facilities throughout Ohio and through ARC Ohio prevention programs and outreach locations.

The following are behaviors that increase your chances of getting HIV. If you answer yes to any of them, you should get an HIV test. If you continue with any of these behaviors, you should be tested every year.
If you have had sex with someone whose history of sex partners and/or drug use is unknown to you or if you or your partner has had many sex partners, then you have more of a chance of being infected with HIV. Both you and your new partner should get tested for HIV, and learn the results, before having sex for the first time.
For women who plan to become pregnant, testing is even more important. If a woman is infected with HIV, medical care and certain drugs given during pregnancy can lower the chance of passing HIV to her baby. All women who are pregnant should be tested during each pregnancy. -from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Of the more than one million people estimated to be living with HIV in the United States, one in five don't know they're infected. The best way to fight HIV is to know your status.
Until a cure for HIV is found, preventing the spread of HIV is our greatest challenge. Saving lives from HIV requires aggressive strategies to reach people at high risk with information and materials they can use to prevent HIV infection.
All our prevention services are nonjudgmental. Our purpose is to help you reduce or eliminate your risk behaviors so you can protect yourself from HIV. If you are at risk for HIV we will never judge you or your behaviors.
Our aggressive community outreach strategies and social network interventions are also reaching tens of thousands of gay men, youth and women who are at high risk for HIV.
HIV and sexually transmitted infection testing is an important part of our prevention strategies. Knowing your HIV status empowers you to make decisions that are right for you and take action so you can live a long and healthy life.
Our multicultural HIV prevention staff are located all across Ohio. They are experienced and dedicated to helping you remain HIV free.

Expunging criminal records for gay sex will lift a heavy burden from the shoulders of those who were prosecuted.
But only an apology will benefit the far larger group of people who suffered, and still suffer, from the prejudice and stigma that was fostered by the criminalisation of homosexuality.
Even when they weren't enforced, anti-gay criminal laws created the conditions for blackmail, social exclusion, hate crimes and suicide.

Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi says former Liberal leader and current Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull should stop publicly advocating gay marriage or quit the ministry.
At the weekend, Mr Turnbull said the Coalition should allow a conscience vote on gay marriage, which he would "certainly" vote for.
"If Malcolm Turnbull wants to talk about fringe issues outside party policy he should resign from the frontbench," Senator Bernardi told the ABC.
"Our longstanding party position is that marriage is between a man and a woman. Our frontbenchers need to reflect that in any comments they make.
"When you are a frontbencher there is no room for a personal view."

For generations, people worldwide who yearn for freedom have looked to the United States. Here, every citizen can speak his mind, pursue his passion, and exercise other God-given liberties that are unjustly denied many others around the globe.
But that doesn't mean we're above reproach in all areas of freedom. Take economic freedom, which continues to deteriorate a little more each year.
I'm not basing this on hearsay, or on the latest jobs report. Every year, The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal release a detailed, country-by-country policy guide known as the Index of Economic Freedom. And the news for the United States has been getting a little worse each year over the last several editions.
In the 2013 Index, the U.S. managed to hold onto its 10th place finish from the year before, despite an overall decline in its score. My last Index column concluded with this sentence: "Or is this our last year as a top-10 finalist in the Index?"
According to the 2014 Index, our 20th anniversary edition, the answer is yes.
The U.S. now stands at No. 12 globally. Even among North America's economies, we have little to brag about: Canada, 6th globally and one of many that improved last year, has a comfortable lead on us.
As recently as 2008, the U.S. ranked seventh worldwide, had a score of 81 (on a 0-100 scale, with 100 being the freest), and was listed as a "free" economy (a score of at least 80). Today, it has a score of 75.5 and is "mostly free," the Index's second-tier economic freedom category.
Before explaining why, let's explain how the editors of the Index determine the scores. Each country is evaluated in four broad areas of economic freedom:
1) Rule of Law. Are property rights protected through an effective and honest judicial system? How widespread is corruption -- bribery, extortion, graft, and the like?
2) Limited Government. Are taxes high or low? Is government spending kept under control, or is it growing unchecked?
3) Regulatory Efficiency. Are businesses able to operate without burdensome and redundant regulations? Are individuals able to work where and how much they want? Is inflation in check? Are prices stable?
4) Open Markets: Can goods be traded freely? Are there tariffs, quota or other restrictions? Can individuals invest their money where and how they see fit? Is there an open banking environment that encourages competition?

I might actually swap out Gordian for Yog, removing a lot of that early economic power of Datapike and Enigma. The datasucker dependency that this creates might go over my complexity threshold for newer players though.

The role of women in the church has been limited by a misunderstanding of Paul's letters. But Jesus, not Paul, is the head of the church. We need to take our cue from Christ--His teachings and His example.
READ: Matt. 28:1-10; Mark 14:3-9; Mark 16:9; Luke 8:1-3; John 4:4-42; Col. 1:18.
HEART ISSUE: Have you ever thought you couldn't serve the Lord in a certain capacity because you're a woman?
PRAYER FOCUS: Father, thank You for making me exactly who I am. Help me to find the place in Your body, the church, where I can serve You best. Amen.
As women we have an important role to play in God's eternal plan. To fulfill this role, we must have the faith and courage to follow God's calling, even in the face of opposition.
READ: Gen. 1:27-28; Acts 2:17-18; Acts 21:8-9; Rom. 12:3-8; Rom. 16:1-6; Gal. 3:28.
HEART ISSUE: How has God called you to serve Him? Is anything keeping you from fulfilling this call?
PRAYER FOCUS: Father, help me to know the call You've placed on my life, and give me the courage to pursue it with my whole heart. Amen.

What is the official name of the ACSF3 gene?
The official name of this gene is "acyl-CoA synthetase family member 3."
ACSF3 is the gene's official symbol. The ACSF3 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page.
What is the normal function of the ACSF3 gene?
The ACSF3 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme involved in the formation (synthesis) of fatty acids, which are building blocks used to make fats (lipids). The ACSF3 enzyme performs a chemical reaction that converts malonic acid to malonyl-CoA, which is the first step of fatty acid synthesis. Based on this activity, the enzyme is classified as a malonyl-CoA synthetase. The ACSF3 enzyme also converts methylmalonic acid to methylmalonyl-CoA, making it a methylmalonyl-CoA synthetase as well.
Fatty acid synthesis occurs through two pathways, one of which takes place in cellular structures called mitochondria. Mitochondria convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use, and fatty acid synthesis in these structures is thought to be important for their proper functioning. The ACSF3 enzyme is found only in mitochondria and is involved in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis.
Does the ACSF3 gene share characteristics with other genes?
The ACSF3 gene belongs to a family of genes called ACS (acyl-CoA synthetase family).
A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics. Classifying individual genes into families helps researchers describe how genes are related to each other. For more information, see What are gene families? in the Handbook.
How are changes in the ACSF3 gene related to health conditions?
Where is the ACSF3 gene located?
Cytogenetic Location: 16q24.3
Molecular Location on chromosome 16: base pairs 89,093,809 to 89,155,846
(Homo sapiens Annotation Release 107, GRCh38.p2) (
The ACSF3 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 16 at position 24.3.
More precisely, the ACSF3 gene is located from base pair 89,093,809 to base pair 89,155,846 on chromosome 16.
See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? in the Handbook.
