The effects of sexual abuse of people who are living with intellectual disabilities may be compounded by hurdles to obtaining:
The lack of adequate sexual health education for people with intellectual disabilities is reflected in the research about their knowledge of HIV/AIDS. In one study, young adults with mild or moderate intellectual disabilities demonstrated significant gaps in knowledge about HIV/AIDS and risk reduction methods as compared to a control group of non-intellectually disabled students. They also exhibited maladaptive attitudes regarding HIV risk and condom use, and when presented with hypothetical risk situations they were more likely than non-intellectually disabled peers to present unsafe sexual solutions. Intellectual disabilities also put individuals at risk for HIV infection because they increase vulnerability to sexual abuse. In many cases, the criminality, culpability, and moral repugnance of such abuse are clear. In other cases, sexual abuse is more difficult to prevent and detect because of the challenge of discerning ability to consent to sexual activity and the confluence of victim and perpetrator roles. The United States Department of Justice reported that 68 to 83 percent of women with developmental disabilities experience sexual assault during their lifetimes. The effects of sexual abuse of people who are living with intellectual disabilities may be compounded by hurdles to obtaining police intervention, legal protection, or prophylactic care — communication or access hurdles that non-disabled individuals do not face.
True or False:
In the United States gay and bisexual men make up 2% of the population and 55% of all people living with HIV in the United States.
Gay and bisexual men are more severely affected by HIV than any other group in the United States. From 2005 to 2014, HIV diagnoses decreased in the United States by 19 percent overall, but increased 6 percent among all gay and bisexual men, driven by increases among African-American and Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men. Over the past 5 years (2010-2014), the increase in HIV diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men was less than 1 percent, although progress has been uneven among races/ethnicities.
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men made up an estimated 2 percent of the population but 55 percent of people living with HIV in the United States in 2013. If current diagnosis rates continue, one in six gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed with HIV in his lifetime, including one in two black/African-American gay and bisexual men, one in four Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men, and one in 11 white gay and bisexual men. But these rates are not inevitable. Gay and bisexual men accounted for 83 percent (29,418) of the estimated new HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 and older and 67 percent of the total estimated new diagnoses in the United States.
True or False:
Blacks/African-Americans have the most severe burden of HIV of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States.
Among all African-Americans diagnosed with HIV in 2014, an estimated 73 percent (14,305) were men and 26 percent (5,128) were women. Among all African-Americans diagnosed with HIV in 2014, an estimated 57 percent (11,201) were gay or bisexual men. Of those gay and bisexual men, 39 percent (4,321) were young men aged 13 to 24. Blacks/African-Americans have the most severe burden of HIV of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Compared with other races and ethnicities, African-Americans account for a higher proportion of new HIV diagnoses, those living with HIV, and those ever diagnosed with AIDS. In 2014, 44 percent (19,540) of estimated new HIV diagnoses in the United States were among African-Americans, who comprise 12 percent of the US population.

Some side effects from HIV medicines may be more __________________ in women than in men.
In general, recommendations on the use of HIV medicines are the same for men and women. However, there are some issues unique to women that can affect their HIV treatment. These issues include the increased risk of side effects with some HIV medicines, birth control, and pregnancy. Some side effects from HIV medicines may be more frequent or more severe in women than in men. For example, the risk of liver-related side effects due to nevirapine (brand name: Viramune) is greater for women than for men. Some HIV medicines may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, for example birth control pills, patches, rings, or implants. Women taking these HIV medicines may have to use an additional or different form of birth control.
Older adults with HIV may have other conditions, like ________________, that can make it more difficult to manage HIV infection.
Treatment with HIV medicines is recommended for everyone with HIV, and HIV treatment recommendations are the same for older and younger adults. However, age-related factors can complicate HIV treatment in older adults. Liver and kidney functions decline with age. This decline may make it harder for the body to process HIV medicines and increase the risk of side effects. Older adults with HIV may have other conditions, like diabetes and heart disease, that can make it more difficult to manage HIV infection. In addition, HIV may affect the aging process and increase the risk of age-related conditions such as dementia and some cancers. Taking HIV medicines and medicines for other conditions at the same time may increase the risk of drug-drug interactions and side effects. The immune system may not recover as well or as quickly in older adults taking HIV medicines as it does in younger people. Despite these age-related factors, some studies have shown that older adults are more adherent to their HIV medicine regimens — meaning they take their HIV medicines every day and exactly as prescribed — than younger adults.
According to the video “Why the South Is the Epicenter of the AIDS Crisis in America,” if current trends persist, _____ of gay and bisexual black men in Atlanta will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime.
