African nations battling HIV need real solutions (read: proper education) rather than a program that reduces them to animals who cannot control their urges.
LifeNews.com reports. 

A bit more evidence that suggests that throwing condoms at a problem might NOT be the solution.
There is no doubt that sexual practise does play some part in the continuation of the African HIV crisis, but there is also very good research which suggests that the problem of HIV is much more complex than this […]

So says the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People. The Council, part of the Roman Curia of the Catholic Church, yesterday released a document concerning the “Pastoral Care for the Liberation of Women of the Street.”
It is important to recognize that sexual exploitation, prostitution and trafficking of human beings are […]

WorldNetDaily reports that efforts to substantially punish school administrators who organized a seminar encouraging high schoolers to “have sex and…use drugs appropriately” have not been realized. The Boulder, CO school which held the seminar has received a verbal reprimand. The comments were given by a UCLA professor who was invited to speak. A letter calling […]

The following commentary was written by Robert Rector and sent to the Abstinence Clearinghouse.
Education concerning HIV prevention in primary and secondary schools should start with the recognition that teaching about sexuality primarily or exclusively as an issue of disease prevention distorts the subject.  Education concerning HIV in primary and secondary schools must be put in […]

I finally got my Barnes & Noble membership card in the mail last week. This week, I’ll send it back.
I was walking past the bookstore’s magazine racks the other day when something caught my eye. I’d certainly never seen magazines in plastic bags here before. And in a section like “Men’s Interest,” that could mean […]

“Evolve” is the new ad campaign by Trojan Condoms. The television commercial kicking it off is set in a bar populated with gorgeous women and fat pigs (literally). One pig, after being snubbed by a woman at the bar, trots off to the bathroom to purchase a condom from a vending machine. It is immediately […]

The Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health (ICAH) recently hosted an adult-only fundraiser featuring a “neo-burlesque performance” by a former Miss Exotic World. ICAH strongly advocates the use of “comprehensive” sex education for school children.
Of course my initial thought is, “How does this even seem like a good idea?” Apparently they’re not too concerned about PR, […]

The sex education children receive in public schools is part of a worldview agenda that has major consequences not only on the lives of every young person,  but the entire culture. I read a poll in which, when asked if the country was headed in the right direction morally, 69% said NO! Value neutral sex […]

As it turns out, selling yourself for sex has physical consequences. What, then are we to do when porn stars start testing positive for HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea? Why, give them condoms, of course!
How backwards does a culture have to be when pornography is an acceptable career choice, and serious STDs are labeled simply as […]

It seems more and more nowadays that everything is unconstitutional. Apparently, it is unconstitutional for the American government to decide what to do with its own money.
The federal government, you see, gives monies to organizations devoted to preventing and fighting HIV/AIDS throughout the world. In late 2005 the Bush administration added a caveat to this […]
