AIDS: handicapped by politics or nothing more than politics?
AIDS "activists have fought furiously against the idea that AIDS targets those who engage in selective behaviours."
"Former U.S. President Bill Clinton told conference attendees that "It's difficult to imagine how the world can grow unless we tackle AIDS." In fact world population growth is fastest in areas hardest hit by AIDS. Japan, conversely, has almost no AIDS cases yet its population has stopped growing."
National Post ; Thursday, August 17, 2006
Calls for prevention highlighted the opening day of the 16th International AIDS Conference in Toronto on Sunday. Alas, it's too late. On the same day, one of America's two most influential newspapers, the Washington Post, carried a photo on its front page depicting a man wearing a T-shirt reading: "We all have AIDS." Toss out those condoms; forget abstinence, and don't bother getting tested. Or what part of "all" don't you understand?
Seriously, this bit of propaganda is but one illustration of how efforts against AIDS have always been handicapped by politics. Nobody really believes we all have AIDS. But many have bought into the "Everyone is at risk" nonsense, which clearly works against targeting those truly at risk.
The entire science of epidemiology -- which began when London physician John Snow mapped out cholera cases in his city and found they clustered around a single water pump -- depends on identifying risk factors to ameliorate them. In Snow's case, he simply removed the pump handle and the epidemic ended.
He was lucky he didn't have to deal with activists carrying signs reading: "Pumps don't cause cholera; ignorance and prejudice cause cholera!"
Since 1985, when a major U.S. magazine blared in huge red letters: "Now No One Is Safe from AIDS," activists have fought furiously against the idea that AIDS targets those who engage in selective behaviours. Yet according to Health Canada, AIDS (which peaked in 1993), was diagnosed in only 272 Canadians in 2005.
