HIV infections in societies
The presentation on April 25th will be about the shift of HIV infections that can be observed in different societies. It will show how HIV used to spread, which policies and messages fostered the spread of HIV, interventions, drug development and treatment. The infection rates today, the implications and dangers of the infection with HIV in different societies, and if I have a few minutes left... Pipeline drugs.

Teenwire.com, the best thing since the invention of....
I loved our Guest speaker Estelle Raboni’s engaging presentation introducing us to Teenwire.com! She was very refreshing and resourceful in her lecture. It comes to no surprise to me that her website is so successful.
Interesting issues, ideas and questions regarding teens and their questions about sex have been packaged very professionally, entertaining, engaging, and easy to follow.

Actually, if children did not know about sexuality when they reach age five or six, how can we explain the occurrences of doctor games and questions that arise at this age or even earlier? Fortunately, I have always been able to talk openly about sex with my parents and still think it was easier for me than for them to stay on topic.

Later, after I moved to the United States, I was actually surprised how prude the “Land of the Free” actually is. Additionally, I see a big difference among youths today in the US and Europe. Now I do not wonder why the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases is so high in this country.
The gays have left the closet and the parents used the space to hide sex education in it.
Teenwire.com is doing an incredible job in educating the individuals who are the future of this country. Teenwire goes, where the government is failing its citizens. Estelle Raboni and other community organizers have to make up for the laziness and inability of parents to provide their children with the tools to live a healthy life free from SDIs, STDs, and other health issues. Teenwire.com, the best thing that has happened to the United States since the introduction of … (no, I am not saying sliced bread.)
