• A Step Toward Cure for Hiv

ALL KINDS OF fatal diseases can be cured. Others can be transformed into chronic maladies. For years now, HIV/AIDS has fallen into that second category, manageable with the right cocktail of drugs but never completely gone.

• What Were They Thinking? ; Why the Left Is Convinced That They're Right

It may no longer be politically correct to cast a child in the corner with a dunce cap, (I am aging myself), but I find the primitive punishment applicable for a few of today's social and political elite. For three particularly egregious acts of stupidity this week, dunce awards must go to: Jimmy Carter, the NAACP and Barack Obama. Former President Carter is planning to fly across the globe for a very important a trip this week. Is it to end world hunger? No. Work on a cure for HIV/AIDS? No. Meet with a State Department-declared terrorist group? Ding, ding, ding! You got it. Not only does Mr. Carter have plans to meet with the exiled leader of Hamas during his 10-day visit to the Middle East, but it's at a time when Israeli- Palestinian peace talks are fragile, and at the beginning of P...

• World Aids Day Is a Call for Action

It has been 17 years since "Philadelphia" was in movie theaters, 19 years since Earvin "Magic" Johnson announced he was HIV-positive and 26 years since Ryan White, the Indiana teenager who fought to end discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS, was infected with HIV during a blood transfusion. Although great strides have been made in the treatment of HIV/ AIDS since White died at the age of 18, many people still believe that contracting HIV means a person has no chance for survival. As members of the Memphis health care community, my colleagues and I battle this misconception every day. It's true there is no cure yet for HIV/AIDS; however, through proper treatment, a person can live a long, healthy and productive life.

• The Truth About Aids

Our best hope for "a cure" is an HIV vaccine. A vaccine is particularly important for Black people, because we bear the brunt of the disease. If you've been reading this column, you've heard the stats before. But, they're worth repeating. Each year an estimated 40,000 people in the U.S. become infected with HIV. African-Americans represent 55 percent of newly-reported HIV diagnoses. Black women account for 72 percent of all new HIV diagnoses reported among women. AIDS is a leading cause of death for African-Americans, and the number one cause of death for Black women between the ages of 25 and 34. I will stop here before your eyes glaze over. But AIDS is no joke. This is cute," you might say. "But what can I do?" Well, funny you should ask. We are all in this together. All Americans, e...

• Is a Cure for Aids Possible? Amfar Funds Studies Aimed at Viral Eradication

NEW YORK, June 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, today announced 12 grants and fellowships to investigate the potential of eradicating HIV from the body. These new awards, totaling nearly $1.5 million, represent amfAR's commitment to funding scientific studies that may reveal how to eliminate the virus altogether. Many consider research focused on viral reservoirs, latent virus and acute HIV infection to be the first steps toward an elusive cure for HIV infection. In the past, scientists have regarded talk of 'AIDS cures' with suspicion," said Dr. Rowena Johnston, who directs amfAR's research program. "A quarter-century of dashed hopes make even the most optimistic scientific minds reluctant to imagine a body free of HIV. The grantees and fellows we have...

• Protect Yourself

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) affect all segments of our population. STDs are not racially, culturally or age specific, although certain populations are at increased risk. These risks will be discussed. STDs are caused by microscopic organisms and most of them can be treated and cured, with the exception of HIV/AIDS, herpes and human papilloma virus.There is no cure for these viral illnesses but they can be treated. It is estimated by the Institute of Medicine that 15 million new cases of STDs are diagnosed in the United States each year with two-thirds of the cases occurring in persons 25 years of age or less. Some of the STDs are noted to be on the rise while others are slowly declining. Certain groups of the population are more at risk.These include women, persons between the ...
