HIVAIDS testing available at Health & Wellness Center
In these days when HIV AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)(Acquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome) are in the forefront, people are faced with looking at their own personal lifestyles and practices.
FACTS
1) HTV is the virus that causes AIDS. 2) A diagnosis of AIDS may occur 1 to 10 years after infection by
the virus. 3) HTV AIDS is recognized as a sexually transmitted disease. 4) You can protect yourself from
this deadly virus. 5) We emphasize safe sex practices and discuss ways to prevent blood to blood contact.
6) Some clients are simply curious and would like a test, perhaps due to having multiple sex partners in
the past. 7) HIV testing is offered to anyone with a diagnosis of a sexually transmitted disease, to those
entering drug or alcohol treatment programs and to pregnant women. 8) The HIV test is strictly voluntary.
9) Test is CONFIDENTIAL. 10) HIV Test results are not given over the phone. 11) Nurses or Primary
Providers (Doctors, Physician Assistants or Nurse Practitioners) must counsel clients who request testing.
Counseling is an important element to assess the clients knowledge and understanding of the disease
and personal risk factors. An appointment within one week for follow-up post test counseling is also
necessary. At this session, the nurse or provider discusses the results, reviews risk factors and assesses
whether further testing is necessary.
If you have any question or requests for specific information in future articles, please contact Christine
Burnell, R.N., HIVAIDS Coordinator at the Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center, 553-1196 Ext.

Mrs. Graham's Class
What wonderful parents we have
here in Warm Springs! Ourclass was
going to walk to the Fire Hall to visit
Fireman Bob. I sent a letter home
asking parents to come with us when
we went to the Fire Hall. Eleven
parents, grandparents and other fam
ily members came with us! It was so
easy to handle all of the children
because each adult had only a few to
supervise. A special thank you to:
Dinah & Wilbur Merrifield, Wendi
& Connie Johnson, Lois Smith, An
drea Smith, Lillian Cuevas, John
Katchia, Sr., Neda Wesley, Eliza and
Jesse Hernandes-Almaraz. It was nice
to see so many family members who
cared enough to come with their chil
dren on a field trip! Thank you.

BOOK FAIR
WSE to showcase new books ! The
WSE School library will host a Scho
lastic Book Fair on Parent Confer
ence Day, November 1 8, from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. All community people are
invited!
The Book Fair offers students,
parents and teachers the opportunity
to see and purchase the latest works
by popular authors and illustrators of
books for children. Books featured in
a Scholastic Book Fair are carefully
selected by a committee of editors
and educators. Many hours are spent
considering hundreds of books from
around the world in search of selec
tions that excite and motivate stu
dents to become lifelong readers.
Along with winners of State and
National awards, the Book Fair will
present hundreds of titles from over 4
seventy publishers. Included will be
how-to books, biographies, classics a
and a wonderful variety of the new-
est titles in children s literature.
Books make wonderful Christmas
gifts. In previous years, items such as
pencils, book marks, posters, color
ing and activity books have also been
available. Books are purchased on
site so it is not necessary to order and
wait for your items to arrive. Cash
and checks are accepted, but is not
possible for us to take credit cards.
All books must be paid for when
purchased or, if ordered, paid for in
advance. Proceeds from the book fair
can help the library to purchase such
items as reading incentive awards,
computer software, videos, books and
equipment for students to use in the
library and the classroom.
