Example script for resisting pressure to have unprotected sexJim: What about spending a quiet, romantic weekend with me?Elly: I would like that very much.(At Jim’s House)Elly: Jim, it’s so wonderful to be with you. I’ve been longing for this moment for along time.(In the bedroom, Jim is now proposing to have sex with Elly)Elly: I also feel like having sex with you, but on the condition that we use a condom.Jim: Hey, Elly, a condom? Why do you want to spoil our sexy evening?Elly: But, Jim, I don’t want to get sick or infected with HIV.Jim: But you know I don’t have a disease. Look at me––do I look sick to you?Elly: Not at all. But we both could be sick and not even know it.Jim: I can’t believe it—I thought you trusted me!Elly: It’s not about trust. It’s about making sure we take care of ourselves.Jim: But if we use a condom, our sex taste won’t be natural.Ask the group to add additional dialogue . . .Jim: [What else might he say? How would he say it?]Elly: [What else can she say? How could she say it?]Self study: This script is aimed at young unmarried couples and negotiating safersex. Now write one for students. Be realistic (e.g. older man persuading youngerwoman or young man persuading a friend that sex before marriage is ok). Practicethis with your peers. You may be asked to present it!4.19 Prevention of parent-to-child transmissionPregnant women in PNG are often offered an HIV blood test.Without treatment around 15-30% of babies born to HIV positive mothers will becomeinfected with HIV during pregnancy and delivery. HIV is also transmitted by breastmilk. So, if a mother breastfeeds the risk of the baby being infected by HIV increasesto 30-45% (UNAIDS). However an HIV positive mother can reduce these risks.a. Treatment for the motherThe pregnant and breast feeding HIV positive mother can take antiretroviralmedicines during pregnancy and during labour which are highly effective atpreventing transmission to the baby by lowering the amount of virus in her blood andbreast milk. There are side effects of the medicines so the mother will need advicefrom a doctor. She must take the medicine every day.b. Treatment for the new babyHer baby can also be given antiretroviral medicines forseveral days after birth. This is also very effective.37
c. Safer feedingIf the mother can access free milk formula and clean water and knows how to use itproperly, she should not breast feed.However breast milk contains all the nutrients a young baby needs and is freeand strengthens the bond between baby and mother. It protects againstcommon illnesses like diarrhoea.This makes breast feeding a dilemma for mothers.In many areas of PNG the drinking water used to prepare baby formula is dirty andcontaminated. It is recommended that mothers who are HIV-positive exclusivelybreast feed for the first 6 months while the baby is only on breast milk and has notdeveloped teeth or eaten mashed food. It must be exclusively breast milk (nowater, no formula, no tea, no fruit or juices, no honey, no sugar, no rice ordummies). After that she must stop. There should be no breast feeding by othermothers.d. Caesarean birthPregnant women are who are HIV positive can also have a Caesarean birth at thehospital which reduces the chance of the baby being infected with HIV. However, thisis not available to most women in remote areas.Adults do not contract HIV through breast milk.Effective treatment can reduce the chance of the baby being infected to lessthan 5%.4.20 Blood spills and first aid safetyHIV cannot pass through unbroken skin in the hands, legs or arms so it is safe toclean up blood and deal with injuries if there is an accident in school, the village or insports. However, if you have cuts or sores on your hands you must always usegloves. It is recommended schools have latex gloves in their first aid kit. Bloodspills can be cleaned up with strong, neat bleach and sand. These should beavailable in schools. It is better to treat all wet blood as a potential risk and protectyourself by using gloves, bleach and using clean bandages from the school first aidkit. All schools need a first aid kit.Students and teachers should not be afraid of being infected by HIV through bloodspills or because they are giving first aid. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation has no riskunless the patient is bleeding a lot and you have sores in your mouth. It is safe totreat an injured person rather than be afraid of HIV. It is recommended that allteachers and students receive basic first aid training from a health worker orNGO like the Red Cross.38
