...affects men who have sex with men in the U.S. at high rates, according to Chris Beyrer, who directs the AIDS research center at Johns Hopkins University. The problem exists elsewhere in the West: data presented by Dutch researchers this month at the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City suggest that hepatitis C and HIV co-infections have become increasingly common among the Netherlands' homosexual men. At one Amsterdam clinic, run by the Public Health Service (GGD) of Amsterdam, researchers found that 18% of its 157 HIV-positive male patients had also contracted hepatitis C. "Because the hepatitis C virus...
HIV/AIDS patients at the Amsterdam clinic must now undergo mandatory hepatitis C screening; meanwhile, other studies suggest prevention efforts can be implemented much earlier. According to separate research conducted at the same Dutch clinic, 10% of 306 gay patients reported experiencing loss of sensation when using condoms, then intentionally ditching protection during sex. "We're making a proposal to the government to prescribe men with Viagra in order to increase their chance of using condoms," says Udi Davidovich, a senior researcher at GGD Amsterdam...

Like many of his responses that night, it was a long, careful, nuanced plowing of middle ground. He did not suggest that the only rights that matter are a woman's over her body. He also affirmed his moral dimensions of the issue: he noted his willingness to limit late-term abortions, provided there is an exception if a woman's health is at risk; and he talked about finding...
...This is not to suggest that the West do for Russia what the U.S. did for Germany - integrate an aggressor. Invading a country out of humiliation is as deplorable as doing so for territory or riches. Indeed, the West must be prepared to sanction Putin for the invasion of Georgia. The U.S. and its allies can avoid humiliating Russia by acknowledging that Georgia is not blameless and that the rights of Russian minorities must be protected. But Western countries must refuse to accept Russia's cease-fire assurances without independent monitoring, and they must state that Russia's continued membership...
...Bush had blasted Russia over reports of Russia's continuing offensive military operations after it had agreed to a ceasefire. The fact that he used the word reports four times, however, seemed to suggest that the White House lacked independent confirmation of what was happening on the ground in Georgia and - perhaps more significantly - that it didn't entirely trust what it was being told by its Georgian ally...
