14 newsmagazine Speaker brings HIV/AIDS awareness to WCU campus by Sara Halterman * WCnewsmagazine Nationally recognized speaker, Elaine Pasqua, comes to Western Carolina University with a powerful message about HIV/AIDS Awareness. Since 1995 Pasqua has dedicated her life to educating Americas youth on HIV prevention and healthy living. Pasquas struggle with HIV/AIDS began in 1989 when both her mother and stepfather were diagnosed with the deadly disease. As their care- giver, she has seen first hand the suffering and pain this disease causes. Since her experience, Pasqua has committed her life to educating others about the risks of HIV/AIDS, in an effort to create awareness and to prevent new infections from occurring. Pasqua works as the president of Project Prevent, a non-profit organization that provides AIDS prevention education to students across the nation. Pasqua has spoken to thousands of students nation-wide passing on a very real and potent message about HIV/ AIDS, a disease that currently has college-age people at its highest risk for infection. Elaine Pasqua will speak Sunday, February 13th, at 7:30p.m. in the Ramsey Center. Her presentation will include a variety of topics ranging from high-risk behaviors, prevention, compassion for the infected, to trends in the epidemic and decision making-skills. HIV outbreak increases among NC college campuses by Sergio Ortiz * WCnewsmagazine Aserious problem is occurring among North Carolina college campuses. Many students are out for the first time on their own and making unwise decisions, such as not having safe sex. This act is now causing what North Carolina health Officials are calling an outbreak of HIVs on our campuses. Last year, a report was presented by North Carolina health workers at the Annual Conference on Retrovirus and Opportunistic Infections that showed the number of new HIV cases jumping from six in the year 2000 to 30 new cases in the year 2003. Due to the drastic increase in such a short time, this is now being called an outbreak. Officials say that 37 campuses reported having incidents of HIVs among the student population. What is shocking about this finding is that cases of HIVs in other demographic groups have not increased. Therefore college students are the group most at risk, especially males. A statewide study showed that 58 percent of HIV positive men were having sex with men; 33 percent were having sex with both men and women. The study also talked about how many of the men having sex with other men do not consider themselves gay or bisexuals. It cannot be assessed if Western Carolina University is among the campuses. reporting HIV cases due the serious confidentiality taken for individuals. This should not by any means be taken that HIVs does not existat WCU and so it is ok to have sex. As the future leaders of this country we must take responsibility for our actions and. acknowledge that there is an outbreak going on. The best weapon in Our arsenal to not become affected is abstinence. Is a moment of passion worth a lifetime of sickness? Multicultural Affairs participates in AIDS awareness by Kelli E. McNair * Wenewsmagazine In relation to The Names Project AIDS Quilt coming to Westerns campus February 11-14, the Office of Multicultural Affairs is participating in National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness and Information Day (NBHAAD) on February 7. Taryn Strauss will be speaking about Living with AIDS at 8 pm in the Multipurpose Room on the second floor of the UC. Strauss will be coming on behalf of the Western North Carolina AIDS Project of Asheville. In an effort to spread more awareness about HIV/AIDS and its effects on Black _ Americans, the Organization of Ebony Students will hand out ribbons and have a table set up on the second floor with information on the disease. The Community Capacity Building Coalition (CCBC) organized NBHAAD on February 23, 2001, and this day is celebrated February 7 of each year. NBHAADs goals are to get individuals tested, educated, and involved in HIV/AIDS prevention. According to the 2000 census, Black Americans make up for 12.3% of the USs population; in addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2002 said that Black Americans accounted for 54% of the AIDS cases diagnosed in adults. The CDC also says that 75% of new people getting infected by HIV are ages 18-35, and the infection is increasing on college campuses. But even more specifically, young Black American males are at the highest risk for infection. Some men are contracting it through homosexual activity and passing it to their female partners. Published in August 1999 by the CDC, entitled On the Front Lines: Fighting HIV/ AIDS in African-American Communities read: The spread among Blacks and Latinos is a public health emergency... The complexion of the epidemic has changed. Increasingly it is becoming an epidemic of color, said Dr. David Satcher, US Surgeon General on October 29, 1998. Race and ethnicity are not risk factors for HIV; however, Black Americans are more likely to face challenges associated with the risk of infection. Some risks include poverty, denial, having a partner or partners at risk, substance abuse, and being in connection with sexually transmitted diseases. HIV can be transmitted through the vagina, semen, breast milk, and blood.
