HIV Policy
NOTE: This policy is based in part on recommendations from The American College Health and Human Services' Guidelines for Prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis B Virus Health Care and Public Safety Workers.

The spread of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a serious public health problem in the United States. The medical, social, legal and ethical issues associated with HIV/AIDS affect colleges and universities as well as society as a whole.

HIV is the causative agent of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS destroys the human body's defense system and allows life-threatening infections and unusual cancers. There is no known cure or vaccine for prevention. An individual can transmit the virus even in the absence of symptoms. Available medical knowledge indicates the transmission is primarily through sexual contact or through sharing of needles. According to the Centers for Disease Control, contracting the disease in one's normal daily activities is not known to occur.

Because of the seriousness of the HIV/AIDS issue, Augusta State University establishes this policy, which focuses on prevention (through education of students, faculty, and staff) and on the compassionate treatment of those afflicted.

Anyone in the Augusta State University community who becomes aware of an HIV/AIDS related situation involving an employee, student, or visitor shall follow the guidelines stated in this policy.
