Glossary Safer sex – involves taking precautions that decrease the potential of transmitting or acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, while having sexual intercourse. Using condoms correctly and consistently during sexual intercourse is considered safer sex. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) – as the name suggests are infections transmitted through sexual intercourse. Some signs of infection are if the urethra ever burns or itches, particularly when urinating, or if there is a greenish, yellowish, foamy, bloody, or foul-smelling discharge from the urethra. Using condoms can prevent sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia, which if not treated can have serious health consequences. Universal Health (Blood) Precautions are simple standards of infection control practice used to minimize the risk of blood-borne disease infection. Universal precautions involve the use of protective barriers such as gloves, gowns, aprons, masks, or protective eyewear, which can reduce the risk of exposure of the health care worker's skin or mucous membranes to potentially infective materials. In addition, under universal blood precautions, it is recommended that all health care workers take precautions to prevent injuries caused by needles, scalpels, and other sharp instruments or devices. Universal precautions apply to blood, other body fluids containing visible blood, semen, and vaginal secretions. Universal precautions do not apply to faeces, nasal secretions, sputum, sweat, tears, urine, and vomit unless they contain visible blood. Universal precautions do not apply to saliva except when visibly contaminated with blood or in the dental setting where blood contamination of saliva is predictable. Unsafe sex – is penetrative sex intercourse without using a condom. This puts each person at risk of transmitting or acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. World AIDS Day is held each year on 1 December and is a day of international, national and local support for the AIDS response and for people living with HIV and AIDS. 98 Together for HIV and AIDS prevention
Annex 1 International Olympic Committee Policy on HIV/AIDS Annex 1 Preamble The HIV/AIDS pandemic has taken the lives of millions of people like never before in the history of mankind. It is estimated that at least 25 million people have died from AIDS since 1981 when the HIV/AIDS virus was first identified. In total, some 70 million have been infected by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS while 42 million are currently living with the HIV/AIDS. Millions more are affected by the epidemic. According to UNICEF, some 33 per cent of those living with HIV/AIDS are under the age of 25 making it the biggest contributor to significant decline of economic development and the collapse of social structures and cohesion in many of the affected societies. It should be noted that societies depend on that age group for economic development and competitive sport. The United Nations predicts that although the epicentre of the epidemic is Sub-Saharan Africa, indications are that it is now shifting to Asia and Eastern Europe unless decisive action is taken. One of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals adopted by the 55th Session of the General Assembly has as its target the halting and beginning to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015. It is recognized that confronting the HIV/AIDS pandemic will require a wide range of coordinated actions spanning all sectors, including governments and civil society. Therefore, the fight against HIV/AIDS is one that the Olympic Movement must of necessity address by joining international partnerships to boost up the global response to this catastrophe. Furthermore, the IOC is unique in that it is one organization that brings together the largest number of disparate international sport federations and youth from around the world and organizes the biggest and most popular sport festival on earth. Introduction Millions of young people have died without realizing their full potential, including that of participating in organized sport. The Olympic Movement is aware of the social and economic impact the epidemic has had on the sporting community. It is therefore time that it mobilized its constituents to add to the global effort. There is indeed a need for innovative actions and partnerships to scale up the global response to the epidemic. A new powerful and vibrant voice must be heard in order to scale up the global response to the epidemic. This voice is that of the Olympic Movement. The IOC acknowledges that the economic decline and the collapse of civil structures in some affected countries inevitably affect sport. It is acknowledged that sport organizations will Together for HIV and AIDS prevention 99
