I just got my new lab results and they were really good. I went off all my meds last summer went back on them for a month in JAN went back off them in feb. So thats quite a while with no meds.

Today my Tcells were 550 and my Viral load was 100.

I have been taking Irwin naturals immuno shield ,max gen + and FRS. And thats it. I have actually felt like i have been neglecting my health but it seems to be ok.

So I am pretty happy.

Peace

Re: [PozHealth] Fwd: NATAP: "Flu is Mild" Scientists say

I wonder how many people who have followed the media reporting on this issue have gotten the impression that there are 1600+ cases and 150+ people in Mexico that have died from the so called novel swine flu virus?

....when the WHO reports only 7 confirmed swine flu deaths in Mexico, and only 257 confirmed cases worldwide of swine flu illness so far?

http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_04_30_a/en/index.html

Influenza A(H1N1) - update 6

"30 April 2009 -- The situation continues to evolve rapidly. As of 17:00 GMT, 30 April 2009, 11 countries have officially reported 257 cases of influenza A (H1N1) infection.

The United States Government has reported 109 laboratory confirmed human cases, including one death. Mexico has reported 97 confirmed human cases of infection, including seven deaths...."

The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases with no deaths - Austria (1), Canada (19), Germany (3), Israel (2), Netherlands (1), New Zealand (3), Spain (13), Switzerland (1) and the United Kingdom (8).

Why is the media distorting the facts?

Why haven't public health officials and political "leaders" stepped forward to correct these distortions?

Is it possible they are all ignorant of the WHO updates?

Or is WHO out of the loop on all this, and the one with the misinformation?

Who would you chose to believe?

Dear Valued Customer,

The developing epidemic of swine flu in Mexico and the United States — as well as several other countries — has raised concerns that this outbreak could become a global pandemic. New developments are emerging daily, and media coverage often raises more questions than answers. As the situation continues to develop, it's important to understand what swine flu is, the potential magnitude of the situation, and how to protect yourself and your family.

Harvard Medical School has created a 43-page report, Swine Flu: How to understand your risk and protect your health which provides the critical information you need to know. This report will answer such questions as:

What is swine flu and what is a pandemic?
How serious and contagious would a swine flu pandemic be?
How do the symptoms of swine flu differ from ordinary flu?
What vaccines and treatments are available?
How can I protect myself and my family – before a pandemic strikes?

As an added resource to Swine Flu: How to understand your risk and protect your health, we'll post frequent updates to the Flu Resource Center on the Harvard Health Publications Web site. There you will find the latest information on the swine flu outbreak, a video Q&A about swine flu, tips to keep yourself healthy, and more. When major new developments occur, we will update the report and you will be sent an email notifying you that the new report is available to you — at no additional charge.

The experts at Harvard Medical School will always keep you fully informed on breaking developments, the latest medical expertise, and everything you need to know to keep yourself and your family safe from this threat to public health.

I had the same experience with Niacin. I took ibuprofen 600mg about 20
min before the

easy on the kidneys and I think
my blood work verified a corresponding worsening of my kidney function.

[Konsultasi-Kesehatan] Jangan minum susu, yoghurt, mentega, KANKER PAYUDARA

Artikel di bawah ini bukan pidato loh....:). Semoga wawasan kita dalam hal
kesehatan bisa bertambah, referensinya juga ada di akhir tulisan ini.
Sorry tuk yang pernah dapat. Bila ingin menambahkan, silah...

Kanker payudara

"MENGAPA SAYA PERCAYA BAHWA
MENGHENTIKAN KONSUMSI SUSU MERUPAKAN PETUNJUK UNTUK MELAWAN
KANKER PAYUDARA"

Saya tidak mempunyai pilihan lain kecuali
mati atau menemukan obat untuk menyembuhkan diri saya sendiri. Saya
seorang ilmuwan, oleh karena itu berpikir
bahwa tentunya ada penjelasan yang masuk akal bagi penyakit mematikan yang
menyerang satu dari 12 wanita di Inggris ini.

Saya telah merasakan penderitaan karena
kehilangan satu payudara dan telah menjalani radioterapi. Sekarang saya
menerima kemoterapi yang menyakitkan dan
sayapun telah diperiksa oleh beberapa ahli spesialis yang paling terkemuka
di negeri ini. Tetapi jauh di
dalam hati saya, saya merasa yakin bahwa saya menghadapi maut. Saya
mempunyai suami yang mencintai saya, rumah yang indah dan dua anak kecil
yang memerlukan bimbingan saya.

Saya sungguh ingin hidup.
Untunglah, keinginan hidup ini mendorong
saya untuk menggali fakta-fakta, yang baru sedikit diketahui oleh
sejumlah kecil ilmuwan pada waktu itu.

Setiap orang yang berhubungan dengan
kanker payudara akan tahu bahwa beberapa faktor resiko - seperti usia tua,
menstruasi terlalu dini, menopause
terlambat dan sejarah keluarga dengan kanker payudara, sungguh
-sungguh tidak dapat kita cegah. Tetapi ada banyak faktor resiko lainnya
yang dapat kita kendalikan dengan baik.

Faktor-faktor resiko yang 'terkontrol'
ini dengan mudah terwujud dalam perubahan-perubahan sederhana yang dapat
kita lakukan dalam kehidupansehari- hari
kita untuk mencegah atau mengobati kanker payudara.

Petunjuk pertama dalam memahami penyebab
berkembangnya kanker payudara saya datang pada saat suami saya Peter, yang
juga ilmuwan, pulang ke tanah air setelah
bekerja di Cina, ketika saya sedang menjalani pengobatan
kemoterapi. Ia membawa kartu-kartu dan surat-surat, serta juga beberapa
ramuan dari tumbuh-tumbuhan, yang diberikan oleh teman-teman
dan ilmuwan-ilmuwan mitra saya di Cina.

Ramuan-ramuan itu dikirimkan kepada saya
untuk menyembuhkan kanker payudara itu. Meskipun kami menghadapi keadaan
yang menyedihkan pada saat itu, kami
dapat tertawa lepas, dan saya ingat telah mencetuskan perkataan bahwa
ramuan ini merupakan pengobatan
bagi kanker payudara di Cina, dan tidak mengherankan bahwa wanita-wanita
di Cina berusaha menghindar dari penyakit ini.

Kata-kata itu terngiang-ngiang di benak
saya. "Mengapa wanita-wanita di Cina tidak terkena kanker
payudara?" Saya pernah bekerja sama
dengan mitra-mitra Cina dalam penelitian tentang hubungan antara kimia
tanah dan penyakit, dan mengingat beberapa statistik yang telah dibuat.

Penyakit ini boleh dikatakan tidak
terdapat di seluruh negeri Cina. Hanya 10.000 wanita di Cina wafat karena
penyakit ini, dibandingkan dengan
persentase menakutkan bahwa satu di antara 12 wanita di Inggris meninggal
dunia karena penyakit ini, dan bahkan angka ini
lebih mengerikan lagi menjadi rata-rata satu di antara 10
wanita di sebagian besar negara-negara Barat. Hal ini bukanlah karena
Cina merupakan negeri yang lebih bersifat
pedesaan, dan tidak banyak terkena polusi perkotaan. Di daerah Hong Kong
yang padat, persentase meningkat menjadi
34 di antara 10.000 wanita, namun toh masih jauh lebih sedikit daripada di
Barat.

Kota-kota Hiroshima dan Nagasaki di
Jepang juga memiliki persentase yang hampir sama dengan Cina. Padahal
kedua kota ini telah diserang dengan
senjata nuklir, sehingga selain kanker yang berhubungan dengan polusi,
kita dapat memperkirakan adanya kasus-kasus
kanker yang terkait dengan radiasi.

Kesimpulan yang dapat kita peroleh dari
statistik ini sungguh mengejutkan. Apabila seorang wanita Barat
pindah ke kota industri Hiroshima yang
telah teradiasi, resiko terkena kanker payudara ini dapat menjadi
satu berbanding dua.

Tentu saja hal ini tidak masuk akal. Saya
merasa yakin bahwa ada sebuah faktor gaya hidup yang bukan terkait dengan
polusi, urbanisasi atau lingkungan hidup
yang nyata-nyata telah meningkatkan kemungkinan wanita Barat terkena
kanker payudara.

Saya kemudian menemukan bahwa penyebab
perbedaan besar dalam persentase kanker payudara antara negara-negara
Timur dan Barat bukanlah karena factor
genetika.
Penelitian ilmiah menunjukkan bahwa apabila
orang Cina atau Jepang pindah ke Barat, dalam satu atau dua generasi
persentase kanker payudara mereka
mendekati persentase dari penduduk negara di mana mereka
tinggal.

Hal yang sama terjadi apabila orang-orang
Timur sepenuhnya meniru gaya hidup Barat di Hong Kong. Sesungguhnya, nama
populer yang disebutkan orang di Cina
bagi kanker payudara adalah 'Penyakit Wanita Kaya'. Ini disebabkan bahwa
di Cina, hanya orang-orang kaya
yang dapat menikmati apa yang disebut sebagai 'Makanan Hong Kong'.

Orang-orang Cina menggambarkan semua
makanan Barat, termasuk semua kudapan dari es krim dan coklat sampai
spaghetti dan keju, sebagai 'Makanan Hong
Kong' karena hanya terdapat di bekas koloni Inggris dan dulu jarang ada di
daratan Cina.

Jadi sungguh masuk akal bagi saya bahwa
apa yang menyebabkan kanker payudara saya ini dan banyaknya penderita
penyakit tersebut di negara saya hampir
dipastikan berasal dari sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan gaya hidup Barat
kita, dari kalangan menengah yang lebih baik.

Angka ini juga besar bagi para pria di
sini. Saya telah mengamati dalam penelitian saya bahwa banyak data tentang
kanker prostat juga sampai pada kesimpulan yang sama.
Menurut angka dari WHO, jumlah pria yang terkena
kanker prostat di Cina pedesaan hampir tidak ada, hanya 0,5 pria di
antara 100.000. Namun demikian di
Inggris, Skotlandia dan Wales, angka ini 70 kali lebih tinggi. Seperti
kanker payudara, penyakit ini merupakan
penyakit kalangan menengah dan terutama menyerang kelompok -kelompok
sosial yang lebih kaya dan mempunyai kehidupan sosial-ekonomi yang lebih
tinggi,yaitu mereka yang dapat menikmati makanan yang bergizi tinggi.

Saya teringat berkata kepada suami saya,
"Ayolah Peter, kamu baru saja pulang dari Cina. Apa sih gaya hidup
Cina yang sangat berbeda dengan
kita?" "Mengapa mereka tidak terkena kanker payudara?"

Kami memutuskan untuk menggunakan latar
belakang ilmu kami bersama-sama dan melakukan pendekatan dengan
logika. Kami
memeriksa data ilmiah yang mengarahkan kami pada kandungan lemak dalam
makanan. Para peneliti pada tahun 1980-an telah menemukan bahwa hanya 14%
kalori di hidangan Cina terdiri
atas lemak, dibandingkan dengan hampir 36% di Barat.

Tetapi makanan yang telah saya santap
selama bertahun-tahun sebelum terkena kanker payudara ini sangat rendah
lemak dan berserat tinggi. Selain itu,
sebagai ilmuwan saya tahu bahwa asupan lemak pada orang dewasa tidak
menunjukkan peningkatan resiko kanker
payudara dalam sebagian besar investigasi yang telah dilakukan pada
kelompok-kelompok besar wanita selama dua belas tahun.

Lalu pada suatu hari sesuatu yang agak
istimewa terjadi. Peter dan saya telah bekerja sama begitu erat selama
bertahun-tahun lamanya sehingga saya
tidak yakin siapa di antara kami berdua yang berkata terlebih dahulu:
"Orang-orang Cina tidak makan produk dari susu!"

Sulit untuk menjelaskan kepada orang yang
bukan ilmuwan terjadinya 'dentingan' pikiran dan perasaan yang mendadak
ketika menyadari bahwa pikiran kita
terbuka pada sesuatu hal yang penting. Rasanya seperti ada banyak potongan
gambar di dalam otak kita dan tiba-tiba,
dalam beberapa detik, semua teka-teki ini terangkai dengan baik sehingga
membentuk gambar yang jelas.

Tiba-tiba saya teringat kembali betapa
banyak orang Cina yang tidak dapat mencernakan susu dengan baik, betapa
orang-orang Cina yang bekerja dengan saya
selalu berkata bahwa susu hanya untuk bayi, dan bagaimana salah seorang
sahabat karib saya, yang keturunan Cina,
dengan sopan selalu menolak keju pada saat jamuan malam.

Saya tahu bahwa tak ada orang Cina yang
hidup secara tradisional, yang menggunakan susu sapi atau produk dari susu
untuk memberi makan kepada bayinya. Dalam
adat istiadat mereka, mereka menggunakan inang penyusu tetapi tidak pernah
produk dari susu.

Secara budaya, orang-orang Cina
menganggap gaya Barat kita yang sangat menyukai susu dan produk dari susu
sebagai sesuatu yang sangat aneh. Saya
teringat ketika menjamu sebuah delegasi besar ilmuwan Cina tidak lama
setelah berakhirnya Revolusi Budaya di Cina pada tahun 1980-an.

Atas nasihat Biro Luar Negeri, kami telah
meminta kepada perusahaan jasa boga untuk menyediakan puding yang
mengandung banyak es krim. Setelah
menanyakan dari apa puding itu dibuat, semua ilmuwan Cina itu, termasuk
penerjemahnya, dengan sopan namun tegas menolak untuk menyantapnya, dan
mereka tidak dapat dibujuk untuk mengubah pikiran mereka.

Pada waktu itu kami semua senang dan
menikmati porsi tambahan!
Saya menemukan bahwa susu adalah salah
satu penyebab umum alergi makanan.
Sekitar 70% penduduk dunia tidak dapat mencernakan
gula susu, laktosa, sehingga para ahli gizi berpendapat bahwa kondisi ini
normal bagi orang dewasa, dan bukan merupakan sebuah defisiensi
(kekurangan) .

Mungkin alam berusaha mengatakan kepada
kita bahwa kita telah mengkonsumsi makanan yang salah. Sebelum saya terkena
kanker payudara untuk pertama kali, saya telah makan banyak produk dari
susu, seperti susu tanpa lemak, keju rendah lemak dan yoghurt. Saya
menggunakannya sebagai
sumber protein saya yang utama. Saya juga makan daging cincang
sapi yang tidak berlemak, yang sekarang
baru saya sadari mungkin sering berasal dari sapi perahan.

Agar dapat mengatasi kemoterapi untuk
benjolan kanker saya yang kelima ini, saya telah makan yoghurt organik
agar alat-alat pencernaan saya dapat
pulih kembali dan mengembalikan bakteri-bakteri 'yang baik' ke dalam usus
saya.
Baru-baru ini, saya menemukan bahwa pada
tahun 1989 yang lalu, yoghurt telah terlibat dalam kanker ovarium (indung
telur). Dr Daniel Cramer dari Unversitas
Harvard telah meneliti ratusan wanita penderita kanker indung telur dan
telah mencatat dengan rinci apa yang biasa mereka makan.

Coba saya tahu tentang hal ini ketika ia
pertama kali menemukannya. Mengikuti nasihat Peter dan pendapat saya
tentang makanan Cina, saya memutuskan
untuk tidak saja menghentikan yoghurt tetapi semua produk dari susu, saat
ini juga. Keju, mentega dan
yoghurt serta semua makanan yang mengandung susu saya buang ke sampah.

Betapa mengherankan bahwa begitu banyak
produk termasuk sup buatan, biskuit dan kue mengandung susu. Bahkan banyak
merek margarin yang dijual dengan bahan
dari minyak kedelai, minyak bunga matahari atau minyak zaitun dapat
mengandung produk susu.
Oleh karena itu saya kemudian membaca semua
kandungan yang tercetak di label-label makanan.

Sampai saat itu, saya setia mengukur
perkembangan benjolan kanker saya yang kelima ini dengan alat pengukur dan
mencatat kasilnya. Meskipun para dokter
dan suster banyak memberi semangat dan berkata positif kepada saya,
pengamatan saya sendiri mengungkapkan
kenyataan yang pahit. Seri kemoterapi saya yang pertama untuk benjolan
kelima ini tidak berhasil - benjolan itu tetap sama.

Kemudian saya menghapuskan produk-produk dari susu. Beberapa hari kemudian
benjolan itu mulai mengecil. Sekitar dua minggu setelah seri kemoterapi
saya yang kedua
dan seminggu setelah tidak mengkonsumsi produk dari susu, benjolan
di leher saya mulai terasa gatal.
Kemudian benjolan itu melunak dan mengecil. Garis di alat pengukur, yang
tadinya tidak menunjukkan perubahan,
sekarang menunjuk ke bawah setelah tumor itu menjadi kecil dan mengecil
lagi.

Dan secara signifikan, saya mencatat
bahwa daripada menurun secara perlahan-lahan (membentuk kurva yang halus)
seperti biasanya terjadi pada kanker,
tumor yang mengecil ini digambarkan seperti garis lurus yang menuju ke
bagian bawah alat pengukur, yang
menggambarkan penyembuhan, bukan pembasmian (atau pengurangan) tumor.

Pada hari Sabtu siang sekitar enam minggu
setelah tidak mengkonsumsi produk-produk susu ini, saya melakukan meditasi
selama sejam kemudian meraba apa yang
yang masih tersisa dari benjolan saya. Saya tidak menemukannya lagi.
Padahal saya sangat berpengalaman dalam
mendeteksi benjolan kanker, karena saya menemukan kelima benjolan kanker
saya itu sendiri. Saya turun ke tingkat bawah rumah dan meminta suami saya
meraba leher saya. Ia pun tidak menemukan benjolan apapun juga.

Hari Kamis berikutnya saja harus
memeriksakan diri saya pada dokter spesialis kanker saya di Cross Hospital
London. Ia memeriksa saya dengan teliti,
terutama leher saya di mana sebelumnya ada tumor. Tadinya ia tercengang
dan kemudian gembira ketika berkata, "Saya
tidak menemukannya. " Ternyata tidak seorangpun
dari dokter-dokter saya yang memperkirakan bahwa seseorang dengan jenis
dan stadium kanker saya (yang jelas-jelas
sudah menyebar ke sistem getah bening) dapat bertahan hidup, apalagi
begitu sehat dan gembira.

Dokter spesialis saya merasa sangat
bahagia seperti saya. Tadinya ketika saya membicarakan gagasan saya
dengannya, ia dapat memahami tetapi
bersikap skeptis. Tetapi saya tahu bahwa sekarang ia menggunakan peta yang
menunjukkan persentase kanker di
Cina di dalam kuliah-kuliah yang diberikannya, dan
menganjurkan makanan tanpa produk susu bagi pasien-pasien kankernya.

Saya sekarang meyakini adanya kesamaan
dalam pertalian antara produk dari susu dan kanker payudara dengan merokok
dan kanker paru-paru. Saya percaya bahwa
dengan mengidentifikasi pertalian antara kanker payudara dan produk susu
dan kemudian mengembangkan makanan
yang khusus ditujukan untuk mempertahankan kesehatan dari payudara dan
sistem hormon saya, telah menyembuhkan saya.

Sangat sulit bagi saya, dan mungkin juga
bagi anda, untuk menerima bahwa sebuah zat yang begitu 'alami' seperti
susu dapat berdampak begitu mencelakakan
bagi kesehatan. Tetapi saya merupakan bukti hidup bahwa hal itu
benar-benar terjadi dan mulai besok
saya akan mengungkapkan rahasia kegiatan saya yang mengubah semuanya ini.

[PozHealth] Fw: [ATAC-DrugDev] Fwd: FW: CDC Interim Guidance - Swine-Origin Influenza A and HIV

CDC Interim Guidance - Swine-Origin Influenza A and HIV

Interim CDC Guidance

HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents: Considerations for Clinicians Regarding Swine-Origin Influenza A (H1N1) Virus

April 30, 2009

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today issued the following interim guidance entitled, "HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents: Considerations for Clinicians Regarding Swine-Origin Influenza A (H1N1) Virus. The International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care (IAPAC) is circulating the CDC's interim guidance as a service to our global membership.

Background

Human infections with a swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that is transmissible among humans were first identified in April 2009 with cases in the United States and Mexico. The epidemiology and clinical presentations of these infections are currently under investigation. There are insufficient data available at this point to determine who is at higher risk for complications of swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus infection. However, adults and adolescents with HIV infection, especially persons with low CD4 cell counts, are known to be at higher risk for viral and bacterial lower respiratory tract infections and for recurrent pneumonias.

Evidence that influenza can be more severe for HIV-infected adults and adolescents comes from studies among HIV-infected persons who had seasonal influenza; these data are limited. However, several studies have reported higher hospitalization rates, prolonged illness and increased mortality, especially among persons with AIDS. Thus, immune compromised persons, including HIV-infected adults and adolescents and especially persons with low CD4 cell counts or AIDS can experience more severe complications of seasonal influenza and it is possible that HIV-infected adults and adolescents are also at higher risk for swine-origin influenza complications.

Clinical presentation
HIV-infected adults and adolescents with swine-origin influenza would be expected to present with typical acute respiratory illness (e.g., cough, sore throat, rhinorrhea) and fever or feverishness, headache, and muscle aches. For some HIV-infected persons, especially persons with low CD4 cell counts, illness might progress rapidly, and might be complicated by secondary bacterial infections including pneumonia. HIV-infected persons who have suspected swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus infection should be tested (see Guidance on Specimen Collection), and specimens from HIV-infected persons who have unsubtypeable influenza A virus infections should be sent to the state public health laboratory for additional testing to identify swine-origin influenza A (H1N1).

Persons with HIV infection should remain vigilant for the signs and symptoms of influenza, as outlined above. Persons with HIV infection who are concerned that they might be experiencing signs or symptoms of influenza infection, or who are concerned they might have been exposed to a confirmed, probable or suspected case of influenza infection, either seasonal influenza or swine-origin influenza A (H1N1), should consult their healthcare provider to assess the need for evaluation and for possible anti-influenza treatment or prophylaxis.

Treatment and chemoprophylaxis
The currently circulating swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus is sensitive to the neuraminidase inhibitor antiviral medications zanamivir and oseltamivir, but is resistant to the adamantane antiviral medications, amantadine and rimantadine. HIV-infected adults and adolescents who meet current case-definitions for confirmed, probable or suspected swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) infection (see Guidance on Case Definitions) should receive empiric antiviral treatment. HIV-infected adults and adolescents who are close contacts of persons with probable or confirmed cases of swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) should receive antiviral chemoprophylaxis. Antiviral chemoprophylaxis with either oseltamivir or zanamivir can be considered for HIV-infected persons who are household close contacts of a suspected case.

These recommendations for treatment and chemoprophylaxis are the same ones used for others who are at higher risk of complications from influenza. As is recommended for other persons who are treated, antiviral treatment with zanamivir or oseltamivir should be initiated as soon as possible after the onset of influenza symptoms, with benefits expected to be greatest if started within 48 hours of onset based on data from studies of seasonal influenza. However, some data from studies on seasonal influenza indicate benefit for hospitalized patients even if treatment is started more than 48 hours after onset.

Recommended duration of treatment is five days. Recommended duration of prophylaxis is 10 days after last exposure. Oseltamivir and zanamivir treatment and chemoprophylaxis regimens recommended for HIV-infected persons are the same as those recommended for adults who have seasonal influenza. Clinicians should monitor treated patients closely and consider the need to extend therapy based on the course of illness. Recommendations for use of influenza antivirals for HIV-infected adults and adolescents might change as additional data on the benefits and risks of antiviral therapy in such persons become available.

No adverse effects have been reported among HIV-infected adults and adolescents who received oseltamivir or zanamivir. There are no known absolute contraindications for co-administration of oseltamivir or zanamivir with currently available antiretroviral medications.

Other ways to reduce risk for HIV-infected adults and adolescents
There is no vaccine available yet to prevent swine-origin influenza A (H1N1).

The risk for swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) might be reduced by taking steps to limit possible exposures to persons with respiratory infections. These actions include frequent handwashing, covering coughs, and having ill persons stay home, except to seek medical care, and minimize contact with others in the household who may be ill with swine-origin influenza virus. Additional measures that can limit transmission of a new influenza strain include voluntary home quarantine of members of households with confirmed or probable swine influenza cases, reduction of unnecessary social contacts, and avoidance whenever possible of crowded settings. If used correctly, facemasks and respirators may help reduce the risk of getting influenza, but they should be used along with other preventive measures, such as avoiding close contact and maintaining good hand hygiene. A respirator that fits snugly on the face can filter out small particles that can be inhaled around the edges of a facemask, but compared with a facemask it is harder to breathe through a respirator for long periods of time. Interim guidances regarding means to decrease the risk of getting swine-origin influenza virus are available. These guidances will be updated as more information becomes available, including information on the risk of swine-origin influenza-related complications among HIV-infected adults and adolescents.

Patients should be reminded of the importance of maintaining their health as a means of reducing their risk of infection with influenza and improving their immune system's ability to fight an infection should it occur. In particular, patients who are currently taking antiretrovirals or antimicrobial prophylaxis against opportunistic infections should be reminded of the importance of adhering to their prescribed treatment.

[PozHealth] Statins Guard Against Prostate Cancer

Statins Guard Against Prostate Cancer

By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter – Mon Apr 27, 11:48 pm ET

SUNDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) --Several new studies suggest statins help prevent prostate cancer and reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction.

"At this point in time, there seems to be mounting evidence that there may be a future role for statins in prostate cancer treatment orprostate cancer prevention," said Dr. Lionel L. Banez, from the Division of Urologic Surgery and Duke Prostate Center at Duke University Medical Center and lead author of one study. "There will definitely be more men taking statins for cardiovascular reasons, and this is a great opportunity for us to see how many of these men develop prostate cancer and whether these prostate cancers are aggressive."

All the reports were to be presented Sunday at the American Urological Association's annual meeting, in Chicago.

One study found that men who were taking statins before undergoing surgical removal of their prostate had a lower risk of having the cancer return. "The use of statins at the time of surgery was associated with a 30 percent reduction in the risk of recurrence of prostate cancer," said lead researcher Dr. Robert J. Hamilton, a urology resident at the University of Toronto Medical Center in Ontario, Canada.

Hamilton thinks that the anti-inflammatory properties of statins may explain the finding. However, it might also be the ability of these drugs to lower cholesterol that has an effect on cancer cells, he said.

Although these results are promising, Hamilton is cautious about recommending that men should take statins to reduce the risk of recurrent prostate cancer. "At this point, we cannot with confidence say that that's true," he stressed.

There are also several unanswered questions, including the optimal dose, the length of time one needs to be taking statins to achieve a benefit, and whether starting statin therapy after surgery would have the same effect.

"Although the results of these studies are exciting, they need to be confirmed," he said.

Another study focused on inflammation inside prostate cancer tumors. "We looked at the association between statin use and prostate tumor inflammation," Banez said.

"We found that men who were using statins prior to surgery had a significantly lower risk for inflammation within their prostate tumor," Banez said.

In fact, men taking statins had a 72 percent reduction in the risk for inflammation of the prostate tumor. The researchers also found that obesity appears to be associated with increased inflammation and more aggressive prostate cancer.

In a third report, researchers led by Dr. Stacy Loeb, from Johns Hopkins University, found statins may help in reducing the aggressiveness of prostate cancer. "Our results suggest that the use of statins may be associated with more favorable pathological features at radical prostatectomy," the researchers said in a statement.

In a fourth report, researchers led by Dr. Rodney H. Breau from the Mayo Clinic found that statins were associated with a lower risk of developing prostate cancer. Among 75 men taking statins who had biopsies, 30 tested positive for prostate cancer, the researchers found.

"In recent years, it has been suggested that statin medications may prevent development of cancer. However, until now, there has been limited evidence to support this theory," Breau said in a statement. "Our research provides evidence that statin use is associated with a threefold reduced risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer."

There may come a time when people will be taking statins to treat or prevent prostate cancer, Hamilton noted. "If these studies keep rolling in suggesting that there is something there with prostate cancer, then the use of statins could go up," he said.

In a fifth study, Mayo Clinic researchers found that statins and/or with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) resulted in fewer lower urinary tract symptoms related to an enlarged prostate.

The researchers found that statin users were 63 percent less likely to develop lower urinary tract problemsand 57 percent less likely to develop an enlarged prostate.

"Statins have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, and previous research suggests inflammation may be associated with benign prostate disease," lead researcher Dr. Jennifer L. St. Sauver said in a statement. "This study suggests that men's urinary health could be improved by taking statin medications."

In another report from Mayo Clinic researchers, older men taking statins over an extended period had a lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED).

Statins were associated with a decreased risk of ED among men older than 60. Moreover, men who took statins for a longer time were less likely to develop ED. For example, men taking statins for nine years or more were 64 percent less likely to develop ED. Men who took statins for less than three years had about the same risk of developing ED as men who did not take statins, the researchers found.

"Protection of vascular health remains an important concomitant of preserving erectile health. Our data suggest that longer use of statins may result in the lowest risk of erectile dysfunction," study author Dr. Ajay Nehra said in a statement.

Re: [Computershow2] Adobe Last Straw

Jim, the word is that malware can be launched by the Reader through the JavaScript function. How it gets there is something I do not know. Some of the potential danger cited is indeed potential. So, it remains to be seen exactly how various hackers attempt to exploit the vulnerability. But, I would assume that downloading an infected .pdf file would be a likely route.

Since unchecking the JavaScript function is no fattening, and the PIR, even a moderate benefit seems worth the effort. Bear in mind that people from Adobe acknowledge the vulnerability, and are in the process of creating another 500 GB patch to eliminate it. :-)

I think that the vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader manifest themselves in  malicious downloads.

You seem to be saying not that the malware goes after Adobe Reader but  more like some malware disguised as Adobe Reader gets downloaded from a  hacked Adobe site or one that seems like it is a legitimate site. This  seems like a real stretch. The malware launcher would have to create the  fake Reader and either hack the Adobe site or create a site that spoofs  the real one so that innocent souls fall prey. If nothing else a hacker  that successful would feal proud even if the fake Reader didn't actually  do any damage. :-)

 That would seem most likely to me.

A likely conclusion but not one that is liketly to happen. What would be  the up side of doing it other than a hackers pride?

 But, as with the infected USB drives we have had under discussion,

Infected USB drives seem equally unlikely. We have to remember that the  internet is a haven for a myriad of bogus things. I think that maybe  spreading rumors about this kind of thing may be an alternative that one  not clever enough to really hack is to spread rumors about bogus hacks. :-(

 sometimes malware comes in removable media.

Do you know that this has happened? Maybe in borrowed USB drives. But  not in purchased ones. If it has happened the solution is simple. Just  format the thing before ever using it. :-)

 Just this day I learned that some people have been infected by hacked digital picture frames.

That solution here is never to open such images by clicking them but by  opening the app first. I have heard of such things, file that are  normally not executable in of themselves, but I have always doubted the  notion. I still do. I don't believe much that it not seems unlikely and  is otherwise unproven.

I like to be diligent about potential infections.

My view is to be cautious but like the health advisers say about the  swine few, be careful but don't over react. Those were not their words,  I just can't recall the exact words.

On the other hand, I think that most of us most of the time do not have  to be overly concerned if we download .pdf's from reputable sites. Usually.

I agree. Actually I have never knowingly gotten a virus or been hacked. AND my habit of frequently reinstalling my OS and programs probably keeps me as a moving target. [Actually I don't reinstall that often, I just use a C drive clone and revers clone every once in awhile. But then I am retired and have nothing much else to do but my computing.

'High Risk' of Resistant Swine Flu, Researcher Says

By Todd Neale, Staff Writer, MedPage Today
Published: April 29, 2009

CANNES, France, April 29 -- Using single antiviral drugs to treat the current outbreak of swine influenza could result in the development of a resistant strain, a leading flu researcher said here.

The H1N1 virus currently infecting humans around the globe is already resistant to one of the two classes of antiviral medications, the adamantanes (rimantadine and amantadine).

The virus is, however, susceptible to the neuraminadase inhibitors, oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).

The risk is high that a strain resistant to all of these drugs could develop as long as the disease continues to be treated with single medications, Robert Webster, Ph.D., of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, said at the conference on Influenza Vaccines for the World.

"We can't continue to use single antiviral drugs. . . . The virus will win the game," he said.

He said he couldn't guess how long it would take for resistance to occur, "but if you use a mono drug you will get resistance."

The increased risk is compounded by the background resistance that develops spontaneously by mutation, he said.

For example, up to 67% of seasonal H1N1 influenzas in Norway were resistant to oseltamivir during the 2007-2008 flu season, according to Jennifer McKimm-Breschkin of CSIRO Molecular & Health Technologies in Australia.

This occurred even though Norwegian doctors made very little use of oseltamivir, illustrating the ability of resistance to develop without any drug treatment.

More drug exposure might enable these resistant viruses to become the predominant strain more rapidly, she said.

She noted that during the following winter in the southern hemisphere, oseltamivir-resistance reached a prevalence of 93% in Australia and 100% in South Africa.

Dr. Webster suggested that drug combinations would be the best strategy for avoiding this problem, a lesson learned, he said, from HIV.

"We know all the ground rules. With an RNA virus you need two, three, or four drugs in combination," he said.

But, he noted, "we haven't got them yet for flu. . . . That's the bottom line."

In his laboratory, adding ribavirin to the neuraminadase inhibitors has yielded some additional benefit, but ribavirin is not approved for use against flu.

Other drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies and immune system modulators, might also be used in combination to help control the immune response to infection, he said.

But until some of these combinations are proven and approved for use, he said treatment of potential pandemic flu viruses, including the swine flu, would have to continue with the single antivirals.

"At the moment, we don't have an option," he said.

Dr. McKimm-Breschkin noted that regulatory authorities and the health community now recommend a diversified antiviral stockpile of oseltamivir and zanamivir, which she said would attenuate the risk of resistance.

Tests Outline Swine Flu Resistance Pattern

TORONTO, April 29 -- The swine flu virus contains a combination of gene segments that had not been previously reported in either swine or human influenza viruses, the CDC said.
Action Points

Explain to interested patients that analysis of the emerging swine flu has revealed a previously unknown viral structure.

Note that one aspect of the analysis is the resistance pattern of the new virus -- it is resistant to one of the two classes of antiviral drugs.

But among the findings when the agency tested virus isolates was a mutation known to confer resistance to the adamantane class of anti-flu drugs, the agency said in aMorbidity and Mortality Weekly Report dispatch.

The so-called S31N mutation in the M2 protein confers cross-resistance to amantadine (Symmetrel) and rimantadine (Flumadine), the agency said, and was found in all 13 of the tested isolates.

In addition, a partial sequence of the swine flu M gene revealed changes characteristic of the emerging virus, the agency said.

On the other hand, all of the isolates were susceptible to members of the other class of anti-flu drugs, the neuraminidase inhibitors, the agency found.

So far, resistance testing has been carried out on isolates from 20% of the 64 laboratory-confirmed cases of swine flu.

Adamantane susceptibility was assessed by conventional sequencing or pyrosequencing, using viral RNA. Susceptibility to the neuraminidase inhibitors was tested by a commercially available chemiluminescent neuraminidase inhibition assay.

Four neuraminidase inhibitors were tested -- oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza), peramivir, and A-315675 -- although the latter two are not yet approved in the U.S.

For the test viruses, the drug concentration needed to inhibit 50% of neuraminidase enzyme activity -- the so-called IC₅₀ -- was compared to the IC₅₀ of A/Georgia/17/2006, an H1N1 seasonal virus sensitive to the drugs.

All the samples exhibited values similar to the control virus, the agency found.

The agency also tested for H274Y -- the most commonly detected mutation in oseltamivir-resistant viruses -- and did not find it in any of the samples.

Only two classes of antiviral drugs are approved by the FDA for use in treating or preventing influenza infections -- the adamantanes or M2 blockers and the neuraminidase inhibitors.

The adamantanes are effective against influenza A viruses -- although not all, since the swine flu is an A virus -- but not influenza B viruses, which lack the M2 protein.

Because of growing resistance, the CDC has not recommended their use since 2005, although the emergence of resistance to oseltamivir in seasonal influenza viruses this season led to changes in recommendations. (See Resistance to Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) Grows Higher)

In contrast, until this flu season, the neuraminidase inhibitors had previously had a lower frequency of antiviral resistance during therapeutic use, the agency said.

[PozHealth] Fwd: NATAP: Jeff Crowley Addresses AIDS Activists

Crowley addresses AIDS activists

NEWS

Published 04/30/2009

President Obama's openly gay domestic AIDS policy chief addressed participants of the annual AIDS Watch congressional lobbying days Monday, and outlined his priorities.

During a public forum hosted by the National Association of People With AIDS, Jeff Crowley, the director of the Office of National AIDS Policy, said his office has been integrated into the White House domestic policy council. His three priorities are to develop a national HIV strategic plan, participate in the health reform debate, and focus on prevention.

Crowley, 43, at one point worked for NAPWA.

His office has $1.4 million to develop a national AIDS strategy and will be adding three to four staff people. Rather than push to do it within the first 100 days of the administration, Crowley thought it more important that "we need to do this right, we need to take our time."

Engaging other parts of the administration in writing the plan helps get them to buy into it and "also to hold them accountable" for its implementation, Crowley said. He cautioned the audience that they are developing a national strategy, and that may look different from a community HIV strategy.

"We need to think about how we get to health reform," said Crowley. Medicare and Medicaid are the largest payers of HIV care, while the Ryan White CARE Act programs are meant to fill in the gaps and special needs. He believes it makes sense to defer significant revisions in the Ryan White programs until the outline of health reform becomes clearer.

"We have a window of opportunity with HIV prevention," he said. "You are going to see more money" for it in the president's budget, but "it is not just about the money, it is about focusing what we are doing on prevention."

Crowley said they are "looking for a model [in all program activity] that will hold the federal government accountable" while at the same time promoting state and local responsibility and contributions to those efforts.

Earlier Monday, a crowd chanted, "We're watching and tired of waiting," during a rally to kick off AIDS Watch. The rally was at Freedom Plaza, the vast expanse of granite on Pennsylvania Avenue between the Capitol and the White House, and the temperature matched the rhetoric, unseasonably in the 9 0s.

Larry Bryant, with DC Fights Back, said the country had declared a state of emergency over a few dozen cases of swine flu while every nine and a half minutes someone in the United States is infected with HIV. If swine flu is an emergency, then HIV "is a Holocaust for my people," Bryant said.

Kathleen Sengstock, a member of Representative Maxine Waters's (D-California) staff, said the congresswoman is pushing three pieces of legislation to address the HIV/AIDS crisis. The Stop AIDS in Prisons Act has already passed the House. Waters also wants to see funding for the Minority AIDS Initiative increase from about $400 million to $610 million.

Waters also is about to reintroduce a bill that would require insurance companies to include routine screening for HIV as part of their regu lar coverage. An estimated 20 percent of people who are infected with the virus do not know that, and increased screening would both improve their health and rein in spread of new infections.

The Medicaid program will only cover the cost of an HIV test if the person is considered at risk for the infection, an administrative barrier that physicians say impedes making screening part of routine care.

Sengstock said there are jurisdictional reasons why Waters did not include Medicaid in her legislation, but the congresswoman is trying other means to resolve the issue.

Another priority for AIDS advocates is passage of the Early Treatment for HIV Act. Currently under Medicare and Medicaid rules one must have an AIDS-de fining illness in order to qualify for the program. The goal is to s upport earlier access to drugs according to current treatment guidelines.

HIV TREATMENT & HEALTH ISSUES

What Does Swine Flu Mean for People With HIV? HIV Expert Joel Gallant, M.D., M.P.H., Dishes the Details
Is swine flu more dangerous for people with HIV? Is there anything special that HIV-positive people need to do to protect themselves from the virus? What should you do if you start to feel flu symptoms? Top HIV clinician Joel Gallant, M.D., M.P.H. (photo on left), will tell you everything you need to know about how the swine flu outbreak affects people living with HIV. (Sneak preview: It's not a whole lot different from regular flu. But you should wash your hands a lot -- and not let sick people sneeze on you.) (News report and audio from TheBody.com)

The bottom line on swine flu, at least at the moment, is that it's nothing to panic over. As long as you take the same precautions you normally take against the "regular" flu (which, incidentally, kills about 36,000 people per year in the U.S. alone), and as long as you go to your doctor, clinic or hospital promptly if you develop flu symptoms, you should be just fine. If you want to stay up on the latest information on the swine flu outbreak and how it can impact people with HIV, be sure to browse our frequently updated collection of articles.

A, B, C, D: Regardless of Your HIV Subtype, HIV Meds Work Well, Study Says
There are differences between HIV subtypes, but combination HIV treatment works extremely well against all of them, according to a British study of more than 2,000 people with HIV who started HIV treatment between 1996 and 2006. The study's major finding was that a stunningly high 97 percent of people in the study eventually reached an undetectable viral load, regardless of their HIV subtype. Many subtle differences were noted between subtypes, however, including the time it takes to become undetectable, the likelihood of having a lower CD4 count when starting treatment and the risk of viral load rebound. (Study summary from aidsmap.com)

Getting to Know Your HIV Drug Classes
What's the difference between an NRTI and an NNRTI? An entry inhibitor and an integrase inhibitor? If you've ever been curious about how each class of HIV medications works, take a look at this quick overview written by HIV specialist Joel Gallant, M.D., M.P.H. It includes a quick guide to so-called "patient assistance programs" offered by some HIV drug companies to help you offset some of the costs of your meds. (Article from Test Positive Aware Network)

Also Worth Noting: Video Blog: Mark King & Friends Talk Life & Love

It's so important to have emotional support when you're living with HIV. In the latest of longtime HIV survivor Mark King's entertainingly poignant video blogs, he invites a group of his HIV-positive friends over for dinner. Together they share intimate stories about disclosure, sex, dating and how they've coped with their status.

LIVING WITH HIV

The Emotional Impact of Body Shape Changes
Although HIV treatment has been a resounding success, all is not rosy in the world of HIV. Too many people with HIV are still dealing with often-disfiguring body shape changes caused by HIV medications or by simply having HIV in their body -- and these changes may cause a more intense emotional impact on people than previously believed. Nelson Vergel (photo on left), a longtime HIV activist and 26-year survivor of HIV, created an anonymous Internet survey that asks people with HIV to detail the impact of body shape changes on their quality of life and self esteem. In this interview, Nelson summarizes the results of his survey. (Article and audio from TheBody.com)

HIV IN THE NEWS

New PEPFAR Head Is Nominated: Eric Goosby, M.D., Experienced HIV Specialist
Meet Eric Goosby, M.D.: He's been nominated by U.S. President Barack Obama to fill the post of global AIDS coordinator, which puts him in charge of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Goosby, the former head of the U.S. health department's Office of HIV/AIDS Policy when Bill Clinton was president, is an HIV specialist with more than 25 years of experience. He's also the chief medical officer of the Pangaea Global AIDS Foundation in San Francisco. His nomination has been pretty well received so far, which may come as a relief to Obama; his abrupt dismissal of the former PEPFAR chief Mark Dybul shortly after the inauguration generated some controversy. (Article from kaisernetwork.org)

After 25 Years, a Landmark HIV Study Is Still Going Strong
There have been thousands upon thousands of studies on HIV, but few of them are legendary. The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) is one for the history books: It's one of the most important HIV/AIDS studies ever done, and over the past 25 years it has brought about many major discoveries. The study, which has followed more than 6,000 gay and bisexual men since 1984, helped pin down how the virus spreads and exactly how it affects the immune system. MACS is also credited with discovering that some people are naturally immune to HIV, which researchers hope may someday lead to an HIV vaccine -- or even a cure. (Article and audio from National Public Radio)


	Your Greatest Blessings, and Your Biggest Obstacles (A recent post from the "Living With HIV" board) I'm still pretty screwed up about the whole HIV thing. In looking for strategies to help me move forward from this point (which feels like self-imposed incarceration) I thought that you forum members might be able to assist me. Because many of you have had a wealth of experience with dealing with being HIV positive, I would be interested to know what the one or two main things were that you did on your journey that assisted you in dealing with your diagnosis. ... Of course, the other side of the coin is probably a bit more complex: To identify the one or two main things that held you back or slowed the healing process. ... I guess I may be asking the impossible question here, but I thought I would try and tap into the collective experience of the forum group. ... I hope others as well as me will be able to gain some benefit from your responses. -- Mondo Click here to join this discussion thread, or to start your own!

HIV, HPV AND CANCER

Oral Sex -- and Even Kissing -- Can Pass Along HPV, New Study Finds
Most of us probably don't think of human papillomavirus (HPV), the main cause of cervical and anal cancer, as a virus we can get by mouth. But according to a new study, nearly 5 percent of people in the U.S. have oral HPV infection, and oral sex -- or even open-mouthed kissing -- appears to potentially transmit the virus. Some experts say the study may make HPV vaccination even more important, and at ages even earlier than the vaccine is currently recommended. (Arguably, it's also yet another reason why the HPV vaccine should be offered to men and boys.) (Editorial from the Journal of Infectious Diseases)

In addition to the editorial we link to above, the full study itself is also available in the same issue of the Journal of Infectious Diseases.

Many HIV-Positive Women Don't Get Screened for Cervical Cancer Nearly Often Enough, Study Suggests
Once a year: That's how often current guidelines recommend that HIV-positive women get screened for cervical cancer, since women with HIV are thought to be twice as likely as HIV-negative women to have human papillomavirus, which can cause cervical cancer. But 25 percent of 2,400 HIV-positive women in a recent U.S. study said they didn't get a Pap smear within the past year -- and some of those who said they got a Pap smear may actually have been wrong, reports study presenter Alexandra Oster, M.D. (photo on left). The upshot: Cervical cancer screening is extremely important for HIV-positive women, and both women and their health care providers need to do all they can to ensure it happens regularly. (Article and audio from The Body PRO)

If You're a Gay Man and You're HIV Positive, You Almost Certainly Have Anal HPV, Study Says
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common infection, and anal HPV is common among gay men. But it's so common among gay men with HIV that it's basically universal, according to a new Australian study. The 331-person study found that an amazing 94 percent of gay, HIV-positive men had anal HPV, which can potentially lead to anal cancer if not monitored. That's compared to 70 percent of gay, HIV-negative men. A third of the HIV-positive gay men were found to have HPV-16, the specific strain of HPV that is most associated with anal cancer risk -- and, incidentally, one of the strains that the HPV vaccine Gardasil (currently approved only for women) protects against. This study also highlights why it's particularly important for gay men to get anal pap smears regularly. (Study summary from aidsmap.com)

HIV PREVENTION

While Abstinence-Only Education Comes Under Review, U.S. States Make Do
As most of us know, there's overwhelming evidence that abstinence-only sex education is ineffective at reducing the odds a teenager will have sex. But although there's change in the wind, abstinence is still pushed strongly in many U.S. schools due to federal funding regulations. For a real-world look at how sex ed works (or fails to work) in the U.S. public school system, read this report on how Illinois educators cope with abstinence requirements when they teach sex education. (Article from the Chicago Tribune)

Could Isentress Be Used as an HIV Prevention Drug?
Move over, Truvada and Viread: When it comes to using HIV meds for HIV prevention, integrase inhibitors may be the next big thing. For years now, researchers have been looking into the idea of whether HIV-negative people can safely protect themselves from HIV by taking regular doses of Truvada (tenofovir/FTC) or Viread (tenofovir). However, those meds may soon face competition from one of the newest HIV drugs, Isentress (raltegravir), and other drugs in the integrase inhibitor class. (Study summary from aidsmap.com)

HIV THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

Global Economic Crisis Could Cripple HIV Treatment, Prevention Efforts in Poor Countries, World Bank Report Warns
Lifesaving HIV treatment for as many as 1.7 million HIVers worldwide may be at stake due to the global economic crisis, according to a World Bank report released last week. The report focused on the effect of the crisis in 69 of the most resource-limited nations in the world. Fifteen of those countries warned that decreases in funding could interrupt the flow of meds to HIVers on treatment. In addition, 34 of the countries -- which are home to a combined 75 percent of the world's people living with HIV -- could see severe cuts to programs geared toward preventing new HIV infections, the report says. "People with AIDS could be in danger of losing their place in the lifeboat," warned Joy Phumaphi of the World Bank. (Article from kaisernetwork.org)

The full World Bank report is available online.

Worldwide HIV Community Celebrates Release of Senegalese HIV Advocates
Score another victory for HIV advocates fighting for human rights: Members of the international HIV community are praising last week's release of nine Senegalese HIV advocates. The men were jailed for "engaging in acts against the order of nature" (because they were thought to be gay) and "membership of a criminal organization" (because of their HIV prevention work). While the men's release is welcome news, the fact that homosexuality remains a crime in many nations -- including Senegal -- continues to hinder HIV prevention work in those nations, advocates say. "Evidence shows us that criminalizing and discriminating against any group of individuals only serves to fuel the HIV/AIDS epidemic," said International AIDS Society president Julio Montaner.
