DC officials challenged to cite behavioral cause of HIV's skyrocketing rates
Ed Thomas
OneNewsNow.com
November 28, 2007
A spokeswoman for the public policy group Concerned Women For America (CWA)
is warning that a new report detailing Washington, DC's extensive rate of
HIV and AIDS should not exclude the prominent cause of the problem -- an
increase in cultural promiscuity.
While establishing that previous rates of HIV infection (1 out of 20) and
AIDS (1 out of 50) are still valid, the 120-page report also served as the
basis for health official Dr. Shannon Hader's statement that "HIV is
everybody's disease." Hader made her statement to The Washington Post. The
report also led to DC Mayor Adrian Fenty's statement that the HIV\AIDS
problem should be addressed with a sense of urgency that the "epidemic"
deserves.
Dr. Janice Crouse of CWA's think tank, the Beverly LaHaye Institute, says
use of the report is "distressing" because those who are at risk for
exposure to HIV/AIDS are primarily those engaging in sex with an infected
person, those sharing a contaminated needle, or those who come into contact
with the fluids of an infected person -- such as a healthcare worker. "Those
are the only ways you can get HIV/AIDS. And to say [that] everybody is
susceptible, everybody can get it, the new face of AIDS is heterosexual
women -- these are all just half-truths," she argues.
They also omit, Crouse says, the factors that conservatives and abstinence
advocates warn are primarily responsible -- promiscuity and drug use;
practices, she says, that are expanding the infection rate for DC residents
of all races and gender. "If you don't engage in either of those behaviors
[promiscuity and drugs], you're not going to get AIDS. It's a behavioral
problem," she states.

Crouse doesn't know what she is talking about. You most certainly do
not have to be promiscuous to get AIDS. In fact, you can be married
and monogamous, with a single live-long sex partner. All it takes is
having sex enough times with an infected person.
BTW, <http://www.calvertinstitute.org/main/experts_detail.php?sourcebook_id=42>
has Crouse's education listed:
Academic Background
A.B.: Asbury College, Wilmore, Kentucky (English/Speech).
M.A.: Purdue University (Rhetoric, Public Address, Radio, Television).
Ph.D.: State University of New York at Buffalo (Communication Theory)
I presume "Communication Theory" mean propaganda, not what electrical
engineers mean by the term. She has no background in medicine. She's
basically a fundie, judging from her bio.

Well, UB is my local university (I live within sight of it) so I guess
I'm the one who should respond.
Communication Theory is handled through UB's Department of
Communications. From their website:
Doctor of Philosophy in Communication
The Ph.D. program trains students in the conduct of social science
research in human communication theories and processes. As such,
students take lectures and seminars in theory development, research
methods, advanced statistics, and content areas in communication,
including conflict resolution, health communication, organizational
communication, mass communication, social media and nonverbal
communication. The program is designed to prepare students for post-
doctoral work or positions in government or academia.
================
The University at Buffalo is most definitely *not* a fundie university
(it is, after all, the "home" university of the Skeptical Inquirer,
the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and the American Humanist
Association) however the State of New York has no religious
restrictions on who can obtain degrees there. "Propaganda" might be a
bit harsh but it is not necessarily inaccurate given what she is using
her education for.

I never said the University of Buffalo was a fundie university, but
rather that one of its graduates is a fundie, which is quite obvious
if you read the 'publications' listed on her bio.
She seems to be specializing in propaganda, however, given what she
said, and what she studied seems to be reasonable training for that
purpose.
She has no credibility regarding biology or medicine.

Just a minute!
Don't skyrockets fly ballistically (for the physics-challenged
posters, 'like a hunk of lead tossed up in the air')? Does not each
such trajectory have a turnaround point where upward momentum
has been spent against countervailing gravity, so that there's
momentarily a flat path parallel to the ground (ideally, at
least)? There you go: in Philadelphia-lawyerese, "skyrocketing" means
'essentially unvarying.'
You should be more careful, Elf. :-)

It always counts. But you still don't anything about any of them.
Besides, just because you're still a virgin doesn't mean that
sexuality is immoral and indecent.
