A parallel study involving 4,996 men in Rakai, Uganda, put the reduction at 48 percent in circumcised men compared to uncircumcised men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1165980875520113272006-12-13T04:34:00.000+01:002006-12-13T04:34:00.000+01:00No problem mama.

Even more important, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta has had a huge media campaign since 1987 where the media time donated by national and local media amounts to $65 million in air time. The CDC's campaign amounts to roughly 47% of AIDs air-time campaigns (meaning that there has been $138 Million worth of on-air media time donated to AIDS by all sources 65/.47=138) <A HREF="http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1580340" REL="nofollow">Monitoring CDC's AIDS Campaign</A>.<BR/><BR/>I know that I have seen lots of TV campaigns featuring celebrities over the last twenty years.<BR/><BR/>Well, Eric...you got your wish....more comments!

All caps...and bold? <BR/><BR/>I was just explaining to Eric that "difficulty discussing this matter" was probably not the reason there were so few comments. I was saying that it might be difficult to discuss if you were close with someone afflicted but most of us probably don't have a family member or close friend that is afflicted since less than a half of 1 percent of the population in the U.S. (and similar for most countries except a few) is afflicted. Math: 900,000/300,000,000=.003. The odds of having a close relationship with someone afflicted is low. Therefore, that's probably not why there were so few comments. More likely, it's probably because few people know who that singer is. <BR/><BR/>If you want some comments, here's mine:<BR/><BR/>Prevention, prevention, prevention...needs to be focused on. Especially in Africa. Right now, the church and mosque is squelching educating the African public about prevention and condom use. A travesty. Another example of religion endangering people.<BR/><BR/>How's that for a comment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1165838466434353702006-12-11T13:01:00.000+01:002006-12-11T13:01:00.000+01:00Johnny who? lolJohnny who? lolCheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1165836300705165182006-12-11T12:25:00.000+01:002006-12-11T12:25:00.000+01:00Meta....
