Answer 1

HIV/AIDS is a complex, multifaceted, development problem requiring both short-term containment actions and long-term, sustained, and broad-based responses, including a range of activities involving virtually all levels and sectors of government and society. Rapid spread of the HIV/AIDS epidemic would have damaging consequences for sectors such as education, social welfare, gender and children's affairs, transportations, defence, agriculture and rural development, and the mining sector, all of which are key for the future development of Sierra Leone. At the same time, each of these sectors could, in turn, provide significant contributions to the overall fight against HIV/AIDS. Furthermore, experience suggests that these are certain aspects of the development problem which require attention:

Integrating HIV/AIDS into reproductive health programs, especially those geared toward the youth;
Intensifying information dissemination necessary to change behaviour to avoid HIV/AIDS;
Fully integrating gender into HIV/AIDS strategies and plans;
Developing well coordinated programs to protect orphans and other vulnerable children;
Integrating HIV/AIDS into the education system both as a curriculum issue and a sector planning concern;
Bringing the private sector into the fight against HIV/AIDS; and
Assuring that uniformed services as well as refugees, returnees, internally displaced persons and ex-combatants are included in the HIV/AIDS containment effort.
The way we deal with AIDS in Sierra Leone will determine our future. The devastation wrought by HIV/AIDS is so acute that it has become one of the main obstacles to development itself. AIDS threatens to unravel our whole societies, communities, and economies. In this way, AIDS may not only take away Sierra Leone's present, it could take away our future, if we become complacent.

This crisis requires an unprecedented response. It requires communities, nations, and regions, the public and the private sector, international organizations and non-governmental groups to come together in concerted, coordinated action. Only when all these forces join in a common effort will we be able to expand our fight against the pandemic to decrease risk, vulnerability, and impact. All of us must be open about HIV, and raise our voices against stigma and discrimination. All of us must rise above turf battles and doctrinal disputes. The only acceptable result is that we replace suffering with hope.

As we continue to develop in order to meet the challenges ahead in the 21st century, the NAS has embarked on a substantial programme of sensitization and service provision, aimed at reducing the spread of HIV and providing care, treatment and support both for those infected and affected by the virus. NAS primary focus as an organization remains firmly rooted in offering quality assured, reliable and cost effective services.

This website is just one of the many ways in which we are improving our services to facilitate the work of our implementing partners and donors. We hope that you will find the website very easy to use, and it would help you to have a clear insight into the activities of NAS.

NAS is here to provide support to all our partners in the fight against HIV and AIDS. As such, we welcome constructive feedback from you all as well as any suggestions you may have on ways we can improve this website.

Please revert with your views and help us to coordinate an effective response.

Answer 2

Aids can only be transfered from a person having AIDS. Most important but least understood is this person and the person recieving the AIDS virus, most exchange bodily fluids and these fluids most enter the blood stream of the person recieving the virus. Example if you have a blister on you buttlock and it breaks when you are sitting on the toliet seat and you have AIDS the virus is now on that seat. Since the virus can only live outside the body for a extremely short peroid of time, a person would have to then immediately sit down on that seat and have a open sore in the exact place that virus is now on the seat.
Yes I have heard many undocumented rumours, but they are based on rumors and fear. If anyone states different, then they need to get a book and read it.

Answer 3

Oh yes, certainly, without a doubt, no question, absolutely, no BS, happens 1000 times a day in every city.

Get serious. Unless you are under the age of 10..no 8, never listen to the news or have a complete lack of ability to do research at a library, on the net, call a clinic help line, ask your parent(s) you have got to be kidding. There is so much discussion on the primary ways for AIDS transmission (fluid exchange through sex or needles) you can't possibly believe you can get AIDS from a toilet seat.

Sorry if I am sounding harsh and I truly apologize if you really, honestly didn't know the answer but this disease is too devastating to try to be asking ha-ha questions. There are 42 million people (at a minimum) in the world with AIDS/HIV...that's just under 1.3% of the adult population. I don't even want to mention the number of children and teen infected.

Sorry...too many people have died and my best friend's brother may now have it.

The correct answer is no.

Answer 4

i love that everyone here says no no no, HOWEVER- they all say well if there is blod or semen on it... so then the answer is YES although it is highly unlikely , unless your an idiot..or blind. A man in public bathroom decides to masturbate and a female goes in and sits in the ..shal we say puddle, and yes technically you could get an infection. now what evidently these people here do not understand is that the hiv virus is quite easily killed off, a nice spritz of lysol, or alcohol and it will not live through it. and just because you dont see blood on a toilet seat does not mean it isnt there, carry one of those tiny bottle of hand sanitizer( jelled alcohol) and a quick squirt and wipe with TP will insure you of a clean seat.

Answer 5

properly you could in case you have HIV of AIDS, spew a extensive volume of semen on the rest room bowl, promptly leave the parcel, and convey different unsuspecting bathing room visitor with thighs and butts crammed with open dermis cuts and warts sit down on the uncleaned bowl. The length of time HIV can stay to tell the tale outdoors the physique relies upon on the quantity of HIV contemporary in the physique fluid and what circumstances the fluid is subjected to. the probabilities of turning into contaminated with HIV by making use of coping with a physique fluid are fairly small, while you evaluate that fluid will hardly have get entry to to a individual's bloodstream. besides the fact that, anybody coping with blood, semen or vaginal fluids could be careful to sidestep touching them with broken dermis or getting them into mucous membranes (including those around the attention). Air does not "kill" HIV, yet exposure to air dries the fluid that contains the virus, and which will wreck or smash up maximum of the virus very promptly. The CDC comments that drying HIV reduces viral volume by making use of ninety-ninety 9% interior countless hours.

Answer 6

In a word, no. Maybe if he was bleeding all over, but why would someone even use a toilet seat if there was blood all over it? HIV is spread by blood and bodily fluid. You need to either have sex with someone who has HIV, share needles and or syringes with someone who has HIV, blood transfusion with HIV infected blood, or be born with HIV from an HIV infected mother.

You can not get ANY STDs from a toilet seat. The only one you can get is pubic lice (crabs) and even this is REALLY rare.

Answer 7

no... the only possible way u would get aids from sittin on a toilet seat would be if that person left blood on the seat nd u had a cut.. nd u sat on the blood

Answer 8

No, you can't get HIV/AIDS from using a toilet seat. It doesn't matter how many affected people have been on it. Of course, i wouldn't sit on it if there were blood or semen on it.

Answer 9

no you can not get aids from that unless he has aids and bleeds all over it and you have a cut or something and you get the blood in you

Answer 10

No you can not acquire AIDS that way, unless you are sitting on blood with open wounds.
