Editor's Notes
- #3: Well, some of you may remember way back in 1985, the year of the first licensed HIV test, that the Compaq Portable was another unique tool of the day. It was sleek, it was slick and it was a STRATEGY to get the information you needed. But those days are long gone. You wouldn ’t be caught dead with a compaq portable today. We have been quick to embrace new strategies on the therapeutics side of the equation, but we must equally embrace new strategies on the PREVENTION side.
- #7: CLI = Community Level Intervention GLI = Group Level Intervention ILI = Individual Level Intervention As the Interventions become more tailored for personal impact, there may well be greater depth of impact, but less reach in numbers. As the interventions are more designed for population level e.g., media focus, greater numbers may be reached, but there may be less personalized impact, and therefore perhaps less depth of psychological relevance and specificity. COMMENTS: AN EXAMPLE OF A CLI, A GLI AND AN ILI WOULD HELP GROUND THIS DISCUSSION. CAN YOU CITE A FEW GOOD ONES AND SHOW RESULTS? [THIS IS ADAPTED FROM A COLLEAGUE ’S MODEL—MAINLY SHOWN TO ILLUSTRATE THE POWER OF USING LARGER MEDIA CAMPAIGNS; Examples of each are listed underneath and will be discussed—for CLI and GLI—later in the ppt]
- #11: Pew Internet & American Life Project: Mobile Health 2010 (October 2010) 83% of internet users have looked online for health information 85% of adults use cell phones, of cell phone users 17% have used their phone to look up health or medical information and 29% of cell owners ages 18-29 have done such searches. This report is based on the findings of a daily tracking survey on Americans' use of the Internet. The results in this report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International between August 9 and September 13, 2010, among a sample of 3,001 adults, age 18 and older. “ The Empowered Patient” on CNN asked Google and Yahoo to tell us what health information you’re looking for, both on computers and on mobile phones. There was a pretty clear difference between what you want to know when you’re at your desk versus on your phone. On mobile phones (Yahoo ’s data) Three out of five most popular health searches on cell phones have to do with sex: Pregnancy / Herpes / STD On computers Sex-related searches do not show up on Google or Yahoo ’s list of top five health searches “ Pregnancy” is #7 on Yahoo’s list “ Herpes” is #10 on Google’s list

- #19: -This led us (the Department of Health) to release city-wide recommendations encouraging all medical providers treating HIV patients to offer antiretroviral treatment to all their HIV patients regardless of their CD4 cell counts. New York City has long been the epicenter of HIV and currently has more AIDS cases than Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., combined. With more than 110,000 New Yorkers currently living with HIV—almost three times the national average—and diseases associated with HIV the 3 rd leading cause of death for NYC residents between 35-54—this new treatment recommendation is one more tool we can utilize to end HIV
- #21: nPEP Non-occupational Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (nPEP) is treatment for a possible exposure to HIV outside of a health care setting. nPEP involves the use of antiretroviral drugs as soon as possible after a high-risk exposure to HIV, to reduce (but not eliminate) the possibility of HIV infection. nPEP is not the “morning after pill” for HIV. nPEP is a four-week program of two or three antiretroviral medications, several times a day. The medications have serious side effects that can make it difficult to finish the program. Treatment should be started promptly, preferably within the first several hours after an exposure. It should be administered within 48 hours of a high-risk exposure (not to exceed 72 hours). After 72 hours nPEP is considerably less effective in preventing HIV infection. The sooner nPEP is administered, the more effective it is. NYC DOH—offers @ 3 sites
