Jonah Goldberg Defends Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment
2008-05-13 18:20:00 Right-wing commentator and ceepy crawler Jonah Goldberg, son of sleazebag Lucianne Goldberg - friend of Matt Drudge and Linda Tripp - wrote a disgusting column last week defending the Tuskegee syphilis case brought up by the ubiquitous Reverend Wright video. In so doing, Goldberg put himself on a level far far below that of Reverend Wright. Let's be clear on this. In 1936 the US Public Health Service in Alabama brought in 399 poor black men who had syphilis for an experiment. They did not tell the participants that they had the disease, and though they were told they were being treated they were not. As such many not only died from syphilis and its complications, but passed it on to their black wifes and children. The doctors were only concerned with autopsy results. Because there was no cure for syphilis in 1936, Goldberg defends the case. There was treatment at the time which was called arsphenamine discovered in 1910 by Dr. Paul Ehrlich. Being the ugly creepy crawler Goldber...
What is Syphilis and what are the main causes of Syphilis Posted By : User

Juxtaposition: syphilis and a banana
2008-04-01 15:26:00 A great example of juxtaposition in yesterday's free paper thelondonpaper, as you can see from the scan below (click on the image for a larger version).A question to the 'urban doc' on syphilis is next to a question on vegan diets – the latter being illustrated by a picture of a semi-peeled banana.It made me laugh, anyway. But I can't quite decide whether this was a deliberate move on the part of thelondonpaper's production desk or just a happy accident.And rather embarrassingly, our web editor just walked over to ask me something when I had the scanned article blown up to massive proportions on my Mac...

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs/STDs) in the Lesbian Community

But your sexual orientation does not make you immune to sexually transmitted infections. In fact, in a recent survey of 504 lesbian and bisexual respondents,

Risky Sex Returns Syphilis to Europe
2007-12-23 09:27:00 LONDON - Syphilis is back: The sexually transmitted disease long associated with 19th Century bohemian life is making an alarming resurgence in Europe. "Syphilis used to be a very rare disease," said Dr. Marita van de Laar, an expert in sexually transmitted diseases at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. "I'm not sure we can say that anymore." Most cases of syphilis are in men, and experts point to more risky sex among gay men as the chief cause for the resurgence. But more cases are being seen among heterosexuals, both men and women, too. Syphilis was the sexual scourge of the 19th Century, and is believed to have killed artists like poet Charles Baudelaire, composer Robert Schumann, and painter Paul Gauguin. But the widespread use of penicillin in the 1950s all but wiped it out in the Western world. In the last decade, however, syphilis has unexpectedly returned, driven by risky sexual behavior and outbreaks in major cities a...

Facts on Venereal Diseases-Gonorrhea and Syphilis
2007-12-21 20:31:00 Your question was quite amusing. There's no food contraindicated if you have contracted gonorhea neither to prevent venereal disease. To avoid venereal disease is to refrain having sex with someone you don't know profoundly well. You can only have venereal disease if someone you had sex with has it. Gonorrhea can be treated by injection ceftriaxone 250 mg. intramascular. Even if you have beentreated and you resume having sex to someone who has it and was never treated you're going to get it back again. It's easy for men to recognize if they have such problem because of the symptoms, they're sure to seek medical help. For syhpilis, it's entirely different. You can have it without knowing it.You might have just a flu symptoms and it goes away. With syphilis it can be diagnose only thru blood test. Your infection can be determined if you have it for a long time through the titer. For treatment you receive 3 injections of benzathine Penicillin 2.5 million units intramasuclar. T...

2007-07-19 16:07:00 Early symptoms of syphilis are an open area called a chancre which can be firm, round, small and painless. There are some indications that it may progress more quickly and severly in people with HIV. If untreated, syphilis can progress to late stages of the infection leading to organ damage.

Michael Jackson or Phil the Syphilis Sore
2006-12-27 23:05:01 Which one is the better role model? They’re both scary to look at and associated with diseases, but the truth is Phil has the more positive image. A 2002 San Francisco advertising campaign which encouraged men to get tested for syphilis using two cartoon characters, Healthy Penis and Phil the Syphilis Sore, has been called a success by a recent study. One can only guess at which of the two lovable characters was the actual reason for the campaign’s success, but somehow I think that a giant walking puss-filled sore would have been more effective than a goofy Barney-like penis with big round balls and a toothy grin. I haven’t seen the full report, but it appears that the campaign was rated a success based on the fact that 40 to 60 percent of the people that responded to the survey and had been tested for syphilis said they were aware of the ads prior to testing. That’s about as logical as claiming that since the majority of pedophiles have heard of Michael Jack...

Syphilis test campaign may increase tests
2006-12-26 21:35:00 A social marketing campaign urging gay and bisexual men in San Francisco to get checked for syphilis has been linked to an increase in syphilis tests. Cartoons advocating the tests were placed in a gay newspaper, and poster-sized reproductions were posted on the streets, on bus shelters, on Webs sites and in gay bars. The researchers, led by Katherine Ahrens of the San Francisco Department of Public Health, conducted two surveys -- one at six months and one at 2.5 years after the campaign had begun. Gay and bisexual men were asked whether they were aware of the cartoons and about their sexual health. Ahrens and colleagues found the men who were aware of the cartoons were more likely than those unaware to have been tested recently for syphilis and to have greater knowledge about it. This effect was sustained for almost three years, according to evaluations published in PLoS Medicine. "The social marketing campaign was effective in augmenting syphilis testing and increasing sy...
