Answer:5)HIV is transmitted through close contact with a body fluid that contains the virus or cells infected with the virus (such as blood, semen, or vaginal fluids). HIV destroys certain types of white blood cells, weakening the body's defenses against infections and cancers.

6)The activities of athletes and personnel who provide their medical care may place them at slightly greater risk for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than their nonathletic peers. At this point, there is no reason to disallow participation of athletes who are HIV-infected

7)Most important, physicians can educate athletes, coaches, and trainers to practice "safe" athletics and medical care to minimize the risks of exposure to and transmission of HIV. Testing for HIV can be encouraged for athletes who may be at risk and should be done for any athlete who specifically requests it.

8)OSHA states, “According to the concept of Universal Precautions, all human blood and certain human body fluids are treated as if known to be infectious for HIV, HBV, and other bloodborne pathogens.” Universal precautions include vigorously washing hands before and after exposure to blood and other body fluids.

9) In the most severe example, arterial bleeding should initially be treated by placing direct pressure over the site of the wound with a gloved hand and sterile gauze 4 X 4 if available.

10)The five types of wounds are abrasion, avulsion, incision, laceration, and puncture. An abrasion is a wound caused by friction when a body scrapes across a rough surface. An avulsion is characterized by a flap. An incision is a cut with clean edges.

11)

1)Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.

2)Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap.

3)Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.

4)Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.

• A Health Problem in my community is an increase of people having obesity. This is a problem because it effects people’s health in a negative way. It’s a health epidemic and is just getting worse by the increase of fast food, more advanced technology, and a busy, fast paced lifestyle.

•risk factors for obesity includes diet, activity level, genetics/ environment, and health and mental health. Poor diet and low activity is some of the main causes of obesity. Although this might be, improving them is the quickest and overall easiest way to avoid obesity. Genetics can also have an impact. Although people are not born obese, growing up in a household of other parents/siblings/guardians that are obese can increase someone’s chances of gaining weight. Health and mental health can also effect health and make you have an increase of obesity and gaining weight. Many health conditions, such as thyroid issues (many known as hypothryoidism) can effect the metabolism and make it difficult to lose weight. A bad mental health Can also lead to weight gain. Mental health issues such as eating disorders, depression, and others can effect eating habits and cause you to eat too much. Risk factors that people do have if they do have obesity can include but not limited to: many types of cancers, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

• how can the community help fix the problem? Well, one thing that can help is promoting healthy eating and excising. The community could influence people to walk more, by having many walks in support of a disease and adding more bike trails can help give the resources to people who wants to lose weight.

Another way that the community could help is to vote for politicians in the community who stands for better healthcare. Better healthcare can benefit people who need to lose weight by getting support by (both medical and mental) health.
