-Caveat Lector-
Well what would you say the answer is June - give everyone a shot of
green tea or should they practice maybe some ofo the teachings in the
bible.
There are numerous articles backing up AIDS and the spreading of
AIDS....for instance in Africa the Africians tried to blame AIDS on
truck drivers on the road, bringing the disease home to their wives.
Me, think as you want; I know this - those that were bit by the needle
are alledged to have lived and those today in modern times who are bit
by the needle while sharing cocaine using same needle, die a horrendous
death.
If AIDS is a virus or if AIDS was a vaccine that caused immune system to
fail - Americans have right to know.
Per capital wise - wonder how it goes in New York and in Los
Angeles.....now, it is said horses can get these diseases - why?
Yet in estrogen - it is made from horse serum and now it is said, the
use of estrogen has causes numerous cases of cancer?
Who do you believe? I choose to believe a reliable source and the
sources I have check out most certainly were reliable.......this item
reflects the views of professional sources....
I do note intend to research this garbage further for I find even the
discussion of same repugnant - but there is a duty of the parents to
protect their children from such people who now want to invade the boy
scouts by an organized effort and other groups for obvious reasons.
And these people want a chance to harass and molest our children and
young people? At least now that they are out of the closet, we know
their objective and it is obovious to me, to send these people out -
especillay among our young children i.e., this one sodomist just
arrested with AIDS who molested these little chldren - they are more
dangerous than any gun.
Next thing June you will be supporting placing Lepers in our communities
for lebrosy I understand is increasing - maybe Mother Theresa could deal
with that crap, but I am not Saint material.

Lesbians' Risk of HIV Infection May be Greater Than Perceived;
Studies Highlight Need for More Lesbian Health Research
Although perceived as being outside the groups that worry about AIDS,
some lesbians may face a substantial risk of HIV infection because their
behaviors do not follow the stereotypical views of this population,
according to studies by researchers from UCLA and other institutions.
While the risk of female-to-female transmission of HIV does appear to be
small, judging lesbians' risk solely on this issue ignores evidence that
some lesbians may use intravenous drugs and engage in sexual relations
with men -- often young gay men -- according to the studies appearing in
a special edition of the journal Women's Health.
"The good news is that our research suggests that, as generally
believed, most lesbians do not face a high risk of HIV infection," said
Susan Cochran, a UCLA public health epidemiologist and author of several
of the studies in the special issue. "However, there is a smaller group
of lesbians, who tend to be young and still may be unsure about their
sexuality, who engage in activities that may put them at risk."
Understanding better the HIV infection risks of lesbians is important
because it may lead to better prevention programs for high-risk groups
and better treatment for lesbians who are infected, according to
researchers.
"Issues relating to lesbians and HIV risk have not been addressed by
research thus far," said Cochran, a professor at the UCLA School of
Public Health. "The problem for women in the community is that silence
is not reassuring."
Younger lesbian and bisexual women may be at greater risk for HIV
infection than older lesbians and bisexual women because they may
sexually experiment with men -- including young gay and bisexual men who
are among those most at risk for HIV, according to a study headed by
Cochran.
Surveying more than 350 lesbians aged 18 to 25 from Los Angeles County,
Cochran and her colleagues found that 26 percent reported sex with men
in the prior year and 19 percent reported sex with a gay man in the
prior three months, according to the study.
"One basic fact is that most lesbians have sex with men at some point in
their lives, usually early in their lives when they may be unsure about
their sexuality," Cochran said. "The partners tend to be the people they
socialize with, who are often young gay men."
In another study that surveyed more than 8,500 lesbian and bisexual
women in different parts of the country, Cochran found that lesbians who
were most likely to report sex with a man in the past year are more
likely to describe themselves as bisexual, be of a younger age, be less
educated and not be in a lesbian relationship.
In addition, researchers found that black lesbians are more likely to be
heterosexually active. In this group, which included women of a wider
age range, 12 percent reported heterosexual activity within the past
year.
The findings from Cochran's studies and others appearing in Women's
Health is part of an effort to redefine HIV as it relates to lesbians
and other women who have sex with women, said Vickie Mays, a UCLA
psychologist who edited the special edition.
"We have defined lesbians' risk of HIV as being related only to their
sexual contact with other women," Mays said. "We haven't really thought
about them in their full capacity or in broader terms. By taking this
narrow view, we have not been able to see where their risk might be."
In addition to suggesting that some lesbians may be at higher risk of
HIV infection than previously believed, Mays says the other studies
suggest that too little is known about the risk of HIV transmission
during lesbian contact and that public health officials do not ask the
proper questions in public health clinics to track lesbian HIV
infection.
"These studies show that almost 16 years into this epidemic we still
have blinders on that keep us from trying to answer some of the broader
questions about this group," Mays said. "We have very little information
about their risk, how they might get infected and how to address the
issue of their partners should they become infected with HIV."
Cochran said one implication of her work is studying whether there needs
to be HIV risk reduction efforts designed to reach the young lesbians
who may be most at risk.
"What we don't know is what is the best way to target these young
lesbians for educational programs," Cochran said. "It may be best to
target them as a part of IV drug users and other groups. Or it may be
best to target through intervention that identifies them as lesbians. We
need to test methods to determine what works best."
Cochran's studies were funded by the National Institute of Mental
Health; the National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Diseases; the
Chicago Resource Center; the Lesbian Health
Fund; California State University, Northridge, Corp.; the Michigan
Department of Public Health; Michigan Organization for Human Rights; and
the Progressive Health Services &
Holistic Health for Women, Los Angeles.
