On-line activism: from easy education to political potency

Article Abstract:

The Internet is a useful tool for supporters of comprehensive sexuality education and political activists. Web sites offer access to university and public libraries, enabling users to search for information beyond their local communities and obtain up-to-date government research data. Activists can search for data to support their presentations and follow federal legislation, with the views of opponents also accessible. Web sites are operated by most federal government agencies, enabling users to develop strategies for impacting federal program funding and administration.

An innovative HIV/AIDS research and education program in Puerto Rico

Article Abstract:

The HIV/AIDS Research and Education Center of the University of Puerto Rico aims to promote research and develop programs to help prevent HIV infection. It particularly focuses on a decrease in risk practices. Surveys were undertaken prior to the founding of the Center, and it was discovered that Puerto Rican teens have not effectively used contraception and there are rigid sexual norms and polarized gender roles. A project aims to link contextual variables to the context of sexuality and gender roles in sexual negotiation and practices.

Assumptions of HIV/AIDS prevention education

Article Abstract:

HIV/AIDS educators would be more effective if they addressed the needs of homosexual incest survivors. There are several hindrances to safe sex behavior in incest survivors. Of the nine Boston-area victims interviewed who admitted having had unsafe sex two were HIV/AIDS infected. Low self-esteem, self-punishment and alcohol/chemical dependence were reasons for not practising safe sex.
