What are Some Health Risks that LGBTQ Youth are at Risk For?
Discussion
LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning people) terminology describes sexual orientation, not sexual behavior and is a common term used. Individuals may reject this term and prefer other terminology such as a man having sex with other men (MSM) or a woman having sex with other women (WSW). Over time terminology may change also, such as the word queer that has had a negative connotation, but in contemporary usage is also used as a unifying term for anyone who is a sexual minority.
Some sexual definitions include:
Sexual orientation is the sexual desire for a particular gender, or an intensive...

Changing patterns and progress in venereology
Abstract: This paper provides a summary of the philosophy of modern concepts on venereology, the control and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). There is a basis in professional education, based on evidence based medicine. From that follows a much wider dissemination to the public on the personal and community aspects of STIs. The World Wide Web has had profound effects on rapid developments in this field. STIs are more frequent in some groups in the general population. Epidemiological trends in STIs from the United States and Europe are described. Interventions to prevent the spread of STIs not only by ch...

Bill Gates Talks to TIME About a Coming ‘Third Wave’ of Development in Africa
There’s a very big difference between simple and easy—especially when it comes to global health. It’s simple to eradicate polio—just get all children are vaccinated. It’s simple to reduce nighttime malaria infections—make sure everyone in malaria-endemic areas sleeps under a bed net. But none of that is easy.
The tension between simple and easy is at play when it comes to eradicating poverty in the developing world too, as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation makes clear in its second annual Goalkeepers Data Report.
In a conversation with TIME, Bill Gates points to two recent waves of...
