Recent news articles suggesting that male circumcision might help in the HIV/AIDS fight are risky and misleading. Overlooked is a 1994 study from Johns Hopkins by Chao and colleagues that shows male circumcision increases the risk for women and this would negate the claimed decrease in risk for men. Also, the promotion of circumcision in HIV prevention might actually lead to a false sense of security in circumcised men, increase male to female transmission, and distract people from known and more effective methods of prevention - education and condoms. "The United States has the highest AIDS rate and circumcision rate in developed countries. Clearly circumcision does nothing to stop the AIDS epidemic," says John Geisheker, executive director of DOC. "Circumcision doesn't protect again...

Like millions of other American teens, [Jason Gerrard] could have gone through his entire secondary education learning nothing about human sexuality beyond some basic anatomy and a few tips for avoiding sexually transmitted diseases. (In many schools across the U.S., even some in Vermont, the official "facts of life" begin and end with the abstinence-until-marriage mantra of "Just say no.") But then Gerrard's mother enrolled him in a yearlong, comprehensive sex education class called "Our Whole Lives. Amelia Schlossberg is a 16-year-old junior at Burlington High School who went through OWL at the UU three years ago.

Efforts have expanded to create AIDS prevention programs for drug users that consider the social context and interpersonal relationships within which risky practices take place. The Risk Avoidance Partnership (RAP) project is designed to train active drug users as peer/public health advocates (PHAs) to bring a structured, peer-led intervention into the sites where they and their drug-using social networks use illicit drugs. The RAP peer health advocacy training curriculum and peer-led intervention promote harm reduction among drug users and support drug-user organization to reduce infectious disease and other harm in the context of injection drug use, crack cocaine use, and sexual activity. Initial findings suggest that RAP PHAs perceive a significant positive role change in themselves ...
