HIV Transmission in the Adult Film Industry --- Los Angeles, California, 2004 Workers in this industry need to be made aware of the risks associated with participation in various acts (8), to be able to participate in decision-making about their health and safety at work, and to benefit from prevention practices (9). On September 15, 2004, Cal/OSHA issued citations to two employers of some of the adult film industry workers with newly diagnosed HIV infection for failing to comply with the state's bloodborne pathogen standard (2), failing to report a serious work-related illness, and failing to prepare and follow a written occupational injury and illness prevention program.

AIDS Action Council: Coburn HIV Prevention Act Rears its Deceptive Head - Again! Allow medical professionals to refuse treatment to any individual who has not been tested for HIV, instead of encouraging medical professionals to talk to their patients about HIV, counsel them about risk reduction, and encourage patients to be tested voluntarily. As you know, the only way to prevent people from becoming infected with HIV is to provide them with straight-forward information about how HIV is transmitted and how they can modify behaviors that may put them at risk. The Coburn bill specifically provides that states can pass Coburn-required laws or regulations that violate current requirements of the Ryan White Care Act and still get Care Act funds. www.thebody.com /aac/mar1897.html   (220 words)

"Policy Prescription for HIV" An editorial in American Medical News affirms the American Medical Association's support for the HIV Prevention Act of 1997, which enhances prevention and early detection through confidential reporting and contact tracing. Reproduction of this text is encouraged; however, copies may not be sold, and the CDC HIV/STD/TB Prevention News Update should be cited as the source of the information. The editors support other provisions of the bill, including HIV testing for sexual offenders, requirements that insurers notify applicants who test positive for HIV, and allowing physicians to test patients who are about to undergo high-risk procedures. www.aegis.com /news/ads/1997/ad970919.html   (220 words)

Lambda Line: April 1997 Rep. Susan Molinari, who represents Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Gravesend and Dyker Heights, has signed on as a sponsor of the inappropriately named “HIV Prevention Act of 1997” (HR.1062/S.503). Among the measures more draconian elements, it allows medical professionals to refuse treatment to any individual who has not been tested for HIV and allows states to violate current requirements of the Ryan White CARE Act without forfeiting CARE funds, thus rendering the law's confidentiality requirements meaningless. This would obviously have a chilling effect on HIV prevention and treatment efforts by discouraging individuals from being tested for HIV. www.lidbrooklyn.org /ll497.htm   (220 words)

Lilly Santeliz For example, medical students can be introduced earlier to nursing homes and home care in order to visualize social context of the elderly (Hastings, 1996) Also, medical sociology will emphasize the prevention of disease as well as its treatment. In order to understand the relevance of medical sociology, it is necessary to apply its particular style of thought to important aspects of the medical field: the change in the kind of diseases medicine faces today, an interdisciplinary approach to the medical crisis, and the doctor- (or health worker-) patient relationship. In this case, medical sociology, while acknowledging the advantages of technology, seeks ways to use technology appropriately and/or to understand the social impact of medical technology so that the "whole" person is taken into account and not simply his/her anatomical/physiological mass. www.goshen.edu /bio/Biol410/BSSPapers98/lilly.htm   (3541 words)
