HPV Information

Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own.

Center of Disease Control Male Latex Condom Fact Sheet

In June 2000, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), convened a workshop to evaluate the published evidence establishing the effectiveness of latex male condoms in preventing STDs, including HIV. A summary report from that workshop was completed in July 2001 (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/ dmid/stds/condomreport.pdf). This fact sheet is based on the NIH workshop report and additional studies that were not reviewed in that report or were published subsequent to the workshop (see link for additional references). Most epidemiologic studies comparing rates of STD transmission between condom users and non-users focus on penile-vaginal intercourse.

Condoms: Barriers to Bad News

What do condoms have in common with toothpaste and toilet paper?

Not enough, according to Adam Glickman, owner of the Condomania stores in New York and Los Angeles. Glickman, who has sold condoms by the millions to individuals and organizations such as the Peace Corps and Planned Parenthood, says condoms should be viewed as ordinary, like toothpaste and toilet paper. "People have gotten past asking, 'Isn't brushing my teeth every morning a hassle?' Given the world we live in, wearing condoms is something you just have to do, like brushing your teeth. The stakes are too high."

Brazil declines US anti-AIDS funding

Posted by Condom Depot on 05/06/2005

ISN SECURITY WATCH (05/06/05) - The head of Brazil?s anti-AIDS program, Pedro Chequer, sent a letter to the US government last week declining an offer of US$40 million in AIDS assistance, because the aid was conditional on condemning prostitution.
Prostitution is legal in Brazil and the Brazilian Health Ministry said the clause condemning prostitution had not been part of the original agreement on AIDS assistance, but was added later by the administration of US President George Bush.

Under Bush?s ambitious US$15 billion assistance package to help countries fight AIDS, HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, US$48 million was earmarked for Brazil between 2003 and 2008.

Brazil has already received about US$8 million, but the addition of the prostitution clause was seen as meddling in the country?s internal affairs.

?This would be entirely in contradiction with Brazilian guidelines for a program that has been working very well for years,? The Guardian quoted Sonia Correa, an AIDS activist in Brazil and co-chair of the International Working Group on Sexuality and Social Policy, as saying.

?We are providing condoms, and doing a lot of prevention work with sex workers, and the rate of infection has stabilized and dropped since the 1980s,? she said.

Some 600,000 people in Brazil - out of a population of 183 million - have been infected with HIV, and the Brazilian government has been making progress in curbing the spread of AIDS by distributing millions of free condoms every year at street festivals and providing anti-AIDS drugs free to anyone who needs them.

Campaigners congratulated the Brazilian government for its stance, and voiced concerns that the declaration on prostitution could damage efforts to tackle AIDS among sex workers in many countries.

The US global AIDS coordinator, Randall Tobias, who is responsible for spending the US$15 billion in HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria assistance, told the BBC: ?Any organization receiving US global AIDS funding will have to agree to the policy.?

The US has a history of withholding money and aid to countries and organizations that condone family planning and abortion. The US religious right, which backs such policies, has been growing in influence under the Bush administration and pushing its agenda into foreign and domestic policies.

Brazil is one of the first countries to reject aid because of the Bush administration?s policy of linking foreign aid to policies favored by the religious right.

Government tested anti-HIV drugs on foster kids » - Government-funded researchers tested anti-HIV drugs on hundreds of foster children over the past two decades, often without providing them a basic protection afforded in federal law and required by some states, an Associated Press review has found. The research, funded by the National Institutes of Health, spanned the country. It was most widespread in the 1990s as foster care agencies sought treatments for their HIV-infected children that weren't yet available in the marketplace. The practice ensured that foster children--mostly poor or minority--received care from world-class researchers at government expense, slowing their rate of death and extending their lives. But it also exposed a vulnerable population to the risks of medical research and drugs that were known to have serious side effects in adults and for which the safety for children was unknown.

« Veggie porn in school? - The sex educators in Montgomery County, Md., have devised a film for 10th-graders that features a young lady putting a condom on a cucumber. You do wonder, when you read about these things, why they stop there. After all, if the assumption is that kids are too stupid to know how to unroll a condom unless it is demonstrated for them, then why would they be smart enough to know that it goes on a penis and not on the contents of the vegetable bin in the refrigerator?
