Once associated with a cluster of injecting drug users and homosexual (marginalized social groups), AIDS was progressively

reducing student’s movement variability. Dynamic systems theory (DST) acknowledges that movement performance is constant, fluid and non-linear, meaning it response to the environment and task restraints (Magias & Pill, 2013). Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) and Game Sense (GS) both acknowledge DST and encourage physical educators to implement non-linear frame works which are centred around tactical concepts, providing conceptual understanding to students (Chow et al., 2009).

HIV in the Community HIV or Human immunodeficiency virus is a virus that attacks the human immune system. Overtime the virus replicates numerous times and reduces the amount of healthy fighting cells call CD4. The virus actually attacks the CD4 by attaching itself to it, and then leaves no CD4 to fight other infections. Many times HIV is discovered by diagnosing opportunistic infection. An example is Candida's in the esophagus of a healthy young adult. Individual infected with HIV may not have any

in supporting efforts against HIV by understanding and exploring the epidemiology of HIV through collecting, reporting and analyzing data related to the determinants of health. Simply put, HIV is a virus that attacks a person’s immune system. It specifically affects CD4 cells which are also called T cells. These cells are what the body uses for an immune response. HIV destroys the T cells that fight infection leaving the patient susceptible to immune system compromise. This results in the patient
