HIVAIDS IN SOCIETY
Discussion Forum- HIV Stigmas & Cultural Barriers
Discussion Topic
For this week’s discussion, students are to read the below scenario and answer the following questions:
Scenario:
Jesse is a 22-year-old man who tested positive for HIV two years ago. His suspicions are that he’s been HIV positive since his adolescence. You are the peer worker assigned to help Jesse with adherence issues. You have been seeing him for the past nine months. During the sessions, he has shared his concerns about his increase in alcohol/drug use and depression. Over the past month, Jesse has frequently mentioned his fear of failing his HAART regimen.
The thought of having to switch medications because of failing his current regimen has caused Jesse to feel depressed; he has been on the current regimen for one year. The combination of fear of failing his HIV treatment in addition to disappointing his doctor has caused Jesse’s depression to worsen. Over the past nine months, Jesse has also been concerned with his body image. Although he works out in the gym regularly with weights, he’s never satisfied with his physique. He has noticed changes in body fat buildup throughout his body, loss of fat in the face area, and his limbs have thinned. Jesse has also expressed concern about the effects of long-term treatment. Jesse recently read an article in an HIV/AIDS magazine that heart disease is another side effect of long-term treatment.
Besides his cousin, Jesse does not have anyone else he can talk to about his HIV status. But he rarely shares with his cousin his sex life involving men he meets at parks or in clubs. He admits to his peer worker that he often finds extra pills in his bottles at the end of the month. Jesse feels healthy, but his doctor has told him that his CD4 count (T-cells) is dropping and his viral load is increasing.

Frequently asked questions
How soon can I get my paper done?
It depends with your deadline. If you need your paper completed in 3 hours, we will deliver it in that time. All you need to do is indicate your deadline in our custom order page here. Alternatively, if you are sending us your instructions via email, please be sure to indicate your deadline.
Will it be completely original? I don't want to be caught in a case of Academic Integrity Violation.
We are as paranoid as you are. Maybe even more! And we understand that the greatest sin you can commit in your academic journey is plagiarizing your academic work. To that end, we have made sure that we check and double-check our papers using high quality plagiarism detection tools such as SafeAssign and Turnitin before submitting the paper to you.
Who is my writer? Is he/she a native English Speaker?
All our writers are native English Speakers. That is not to say that ESL writers are not good, we just prefer hiring native writers because we want the very best people working on your paper. This might mean paying a little bit more for your paper as opposed to when you pay a foreign company whose writers are non-native English Speakers.
What if I need revisions? Will your charge additional for this?
Of course not! If you do happen to require a revision on your paper, our team will handle it for you free of charge. Matter of fact, we won’t rest till you are happy with your paper. So, ask for as many revisions as you need, it’s completely FREE!
Will you give me my money back if I don't like my paper?
We have very few instances where we delivered a paper that a client didn’t fall in love with. But if it so happens that you don’t like your paper for any reason whatsoever, we’ll refund your money back no questions asked.
I have more assignments after this, can you help me with those too?
Of course! And what’s even better is that we can reserve a writer permanently to work on your entire class. This comes in handy for projects which build up on each other and where you need just one writer, one writing style.
I got my order information wrong, can I change that?
Yes you can. Just reach out to our support team via email (support@essaynook.com) or live chat here and they’ll help you change the instructions.
Can I place an order via email instead of going through the order page?
Yes you can. Email Anna at anna@essaynook.com, she’s in charge of our sales team. Alternatively, you can talk to our Live Chat team here and request to speak to Anna.
