But Were Afraid to Ask. Angelo sprinkled serious talk about HIV and AIDS with irreverent comments to about 40 students attending the workshop. The workshop focused on basic HIV and AIDS information including the difference between HIV and AIDS, methods of transmission and ways to have safer sex. Angelo said names and records are kept with confidential testing. But with anonymous tests, no names or records are kept on file.
Students sign up using numbers or letters instead of using their names.
Tuesday's workshop was the last of 16 HIV informational workshops presented by the Student Health Service this semester. Health Educator Katie Huang said it was hard to tell how many students got tested as a result of attending one of the workshops. For some students, Angelo's workshop presented information they were already familiar with. But biochemistry student Tin Hua said the workshop provided valuable information. I learned ways of transmission, about the window period.
