THE PROJECT
• Select six myths about HIV/AIDS and where possible
use events from the novel to
distinguish between myths and
facts about HIV/AIDS. Use
resources from the Internet and
present the project in the form
of a PowerPoint presentation.
Myth #1 "I don't have to worry about AIDS
because I'm not gay."
• Fact
• Heterosexual intercourse is the primary mode of (HIV)
transmission worldwide.
• Source
• UNAIDS
The novel
• None of the characters in the novel with HIV/AIDS were
said to be gay
Myth #2 You can tell if someone has HIV by
looking at them."
• Fact
• A person can be HIVpositive and not show any
symptoms for many years.
• Source
• LIAAC
Myth # 3 "Shooting up is the only way drugs lead to AIDS."
• Fact:
• While sharing needles remains one of the surest ways to get HIV, any drug use can
put you at risk for the virus by altering
your behavior and allowing you to do
things you normally wouldn't. Remember,
steroids, pot (marijuana), crack and
alcohol all fall under this category.
• Source
• LIAAC
From the novel
• None of the characters in the novel with HIV/AIDS were
said to be involved in drug
use or abuse.
Myth # 4 "You can't get AIDS from oral sex."
• Fact
• HIV is transmitted through all forms of unprotected sex, including oral, vaginal
and anal. And it doesn't matter whether
the sexual act is being performed by a
man or a woman.
• Source
• LIAAC
The novel
• The book is intended for children and therefore does
not get into details about sex.
In fact the author uses
euphemisms to refer to sex.
One example of a
euphemism used is “Men will
give you money sometimes if
you are nice to them”
Myth #5: You can get HIV/AIDS from touching
• Fact
• You cannot get HIV/AIDS from touching
The novel
• Uncle Wysom and his family believed that you can HIV/AIDS from touching as a
result they avoided touching Binti and
Julie.
Myth # 6 : You can get HIV/AIDS by
using personal articles of a victim
• Fact:
• You cannot get HIV/AIDS by using personal articles of a
victim.
• Source
• Farm Radio
The novel
• Uncle Wysom and his family believed that you can HIV/AIDS from using personal
articles of a victim. As a result they gave
Junie and Binti separate plates and
utensils to use and did not want them to
assist in food preparation. However, they
did not seem to have a problem using
their clothes.
