Description
HIV can’t grow or reproduce on its own. It requires cell of living organisms to infect & reproduce. HIV is specific to CD4+ cells in the human body i.e. cells with surface molecule called Cluster of Differentiation 4. Cells carrying this molecule are called CD4+ cells. Therefore HIV cant survive in the animal blood, because its only human blood that contains CD4+cells. HIV is a lentivirus. Like all viruses in this group it attacks the immune system. Lentiviruses are in turn part of a larger group of viruses called retroviruses. The term ”retrovirus” stems from the fact that these kinds of viruses are capable of copying RNA into DNA. The name lentivirus means slow virus. This is because they take such a longtime to produce any adverse effects in the body.

Trending!
In this section we are going to introduce what child psychology is.
Child psychology is also referred to as child development. It is the study of the psychological processes of children and, specifically, how these processes differ from those of adults, how they develop from birth to the end of adolescence, and how and why they differ from one child to the next. Child psychology represents an approach to understanding children through a description and an explanation of the psychological changes which children undergo in the course of time. For example as children grow older they form attachments to people, acquire language and learn to behave in ways that are rewarding. They become able to regulate their own behavior.

Good Student, you are most welcome to this module I suppose that you have interacted with learning and more so psychology in your schooling. I suppose that you have heard about school psychology and probably come up with your own version of the meaning and what it entails in the field of psychology and learning especially when it relates to yourself, your colleagues, family siblings, community and the general society in which education is being emphasized by the government. There has been issues of education for all ideology, global and national millennium development goals of education, and Kenya’s vision 2030 where one of the pillars of expected developmental reforms is basically education. All this indicate that that schooling for all children becomes a key focal issue in the current government In this module, we will introduce you school psychology and explore the rationale for studying it and possible integrating it in our day today learning from psychological point of views in order to enhance effective and efficient learning and holistic wellness among teachers, students, management and even home environments.
