Education needed to combat syphilis outbreak

Posted: at 3:14 pm

The New Brunswick government has to continue providing public health information in order to combat the rise in syphilis, according to an AIDS Saint John official.

The Department of Health released statistics recently showing there were 57 cases of syphilis last year, up from 37 in 2010.

Most of the cases were in Fredericton and Moncton but there has also been a rise in Saint John and in northern New Brunswick.

The provincial government has distributed information about syphilis and condom use in bars and online.

Julie Dingwell, the executive director with AIDS Saint John, said these public education initiatives are good, but she wants education about all sexually transmitted infections to include outreach groups in the classroom.

"Kids are obviously not getting the health education they need. But that is where it needs to take place, because we don't have them captive in any other venue,” she said.

Syphilis starts as a sore on the genitals but can turn into a rash, fever or even death.

Most of the cases involve men who reported only having sex with other men and a majority of them were between the ages of 20 and 25.

Along with education, another advocate said the provincial government needs to offer people more access to sexual health clinics so they could be tested.

Nick Scott, the executive director of AIDS New Brunswick, said the rise in the sexually transmitted infections is “a big concern.”

Scott said people should have better access to testing at sexual health clinics across the province. But he said that has been made more difficult by recent government cuts.

“Anyone in the demographic that is actually being impacted by this outbreak has to go to their family doctor or an after-hours clinic,” he said.

Dr. Denis Allard, the province's deputy chief medical officer of health, said the sexual habits of some young people are part of the reason for the increase in syphilis.

"They often meet them in places where they either use drugs or get drunk with alcohol so that their judgment gets poor, tends to have higher sexual activity, and also unprotected sexual activity," Allard said.

The provincial government has also recorded an increase in the number of women diagnosed with syphilis.

Syphilis is not the only sexually transmitted infection that has seen a recent increase.

Chlamydia has also noticed a 20 per cent increase in the last year, according to provincial statistics.

Chlamydia, a sexually transmitted infection that can damage female reproductive organs, is putting young women in the province especially at risk.

In February 2011, the provincial government said more than 1,800 youth had chlamydia up 20 per cent from the previous year.

Allard said the increase in the number of sexual partners is likely contributing to the increase in sexual transmitted infections.

“I think it is just that a lot more of the young people started to have many more sexual partners than they had before.They have more casual types of sex. So these things are very short-term sexual relations,” Allard said.

Online gambling detracts from student education

Posted: at 3:14 pm


without comments

The kid in class one seat over, folks on library computers and roommates that never leave their desk - online gambling has become a serious hobby for some students on Miami University's campus. Whether for real money or not, the editorial board has noticed the surge in online gambling participants around campus. Due to the illegality of the issue at hand, we believe that Miami would be justified in banning gambling Web sites on-campus.

Technically, online gambling in the United States is illegal under the Wire Act of 1961 which prohibits the use of wire communication to place bets and is said to also extend to online gambling. The illegality of the situation would lend merit to any university decision to cut the wire on students' distraction. A few years ago, a similar situation arose when Miami pulled the plug on all music downloading capabilities on-campus, putting a serious dent in multiplying music collections. Prohibiting online gambling sites that require real bets would be a similar measure to prohibiting illegal online music sharing.

Then, there is the fact that gambling can easily devolve into an addiction. Online gambling is especially predisposed to such compulsion. It is far more personal and anonymous than sitting down with a group of buddies to play poker and it can be done at any time of day. Additionally, users can fly through online gambling games at a much quicker pace than traditional, live methods of gambling. Online gambling is under the radar - only the user is tuned in and no one else is present to judge, participate or otherwise make one feel uncomfortable about playing. Overall, online gambling has the potential to become an addiction, the same as other addictive substances banned on university property.

There are some people of the opinion that Miami is merely a university and its sole responsibility is to educate, not to be the moral backbone or micromanager of its students' lives. Nevertheless, there is an understandable role for the university in student life and Miami in particular has taken on that role for the betterment and increased quality of students' education, health and safety. Why else do we have counseling services, an alcohol task force or other amenities toward reducing risk and heightening students' capacity for learning? For those who believe the university should only be involved with its students' education, the editorial board argues that limiting a student's participation in illegal activities, including online gambling, is a promotion of the student's main objective at this university - to obtain an education.
