    HIV/AIDS tree assembling Game

    By Bada Joseph Kizito

    Introduction
    In this game we are proposing the tree structure for HIV/AIDS education support in high
    schools of Uganda. The content for game construction is based on the acceptable practice
    of HIV/AIDS education support in Ugandan schools.
    The aim of the game is to test the students understanding of HIV/AIDS epidemic and
    preventive actions. Before playing the game, a student is expected to read the course unit
    in order to get the points for game construction.

    Rules of the game


    1. There is only one root for the tree.
    2. All the branches of the tree originate from the common root.
    3. A branch can be fixed any time on the root of the tree.
    4. A specific branch has specific leaves it can hold.
    5. A leaf from one branch can not fit on another branch.
    The root is the first level in figures 1 and 2.
    Branches are at the second level of the above figures
    Leaves are at the third level of the above figures and they are the respective bulleted
    points.
    Game 1
    Human immunity system
    - Defense system against pathogens
    - A particular kind of while blood cell called lymphocyte creates antibodies that
    destroy strange cells (bacteria, protozoa, virus).
    - One particular type of lymphocyte T4 also called CD4 is responsible for immunity.
    It stimulates others to produce antibodies.
    - The healthy person has CD4 between 600 and 1,500/mm3 of blood.
    - HIV virus attacks T4 lymphocytes (CD4)
    - When T4 lymphocytes are reduced to below 200/mm3, opportunistic infections
    begin to attack the body resulting into AIDS infection.
