PozGroup.com adds more support for members - STD Counselor

POZGROUP adds new feature: "Ask STD counselor" - adding more support for its members than just dating services.
Finding your match when you are suffering from an STD can be easier than you think. Starting from January 15, 2008, members at PozGroup.com can ask a STD counselor questions as well as continuing to enjoy updated information about all STDs, various STD forums, uploading pictures, sending e-mails or winks to other members and you can have a limited free membership.
Thousands of people get STDs and don't realize it. Having an STD could lead to confusion, resentment, anger, and isolating of yourself. One might even be filled with many questions.
According to the CDC, there are over 65 million Americans currently living with an STD, 19 million new STD infections each year, one in three sexually active men and women living with Herpes, and about 50% of all sexually active Americans are affected by HPV. With STD, many people are afraid to reach out to the people whom they are closest to. The stigma attached to people with infectious diseases suddenly becomes personal. They are afraid of losing friendships and family altogether. This fear can quickly become a reality due to a lack of education.
PozGroup.com recently added a STD counselor to the site that has accurate information about STDs. The information that the STD counselor provides covers the most updated information about STDs. The STD counselor can answer such questions as: where to get HPV shots, support group listings, counseling services, relationship questions or any other questions a STD sufferer might have. Information regarding STD testing are also provided when requested.
Members get quality information in addition to the core dating services. Thousands of people on PozGroup.com meet, date and get married. Before the members meet they can talk to someone who is facing the same issues that they are facing and share with someone who has the same concerns. By talking about these issues, members can learn new ways to approach a person and stay emotionally stable. Some of the members of PozGroup.com are learning how to deal an STD that changed their lives. Some people are looking for a local relationship or partner who lives nearby. The sharing and support of a problem creates a healthy and positive atmosphere.

HPV Vaccination For All Positive Gay Men?

All HIV-positive gay men should receive Gardasil, the vaccine that prevents cancerous human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18, say researchers who presented data at July’s International AIDS Society Conference in Sydney, Australia. The prevalence of these strains in a cohort study hints that mass immunizations may reduce the likelihood of anal cancer in this high-risk population, according to AIDSmap.
Of the 70 HIV-positive California and Illinois patients who had anal Pap smears, 33 were found to be positive for HPV infection—41 percent of whom had HPV types 16 and/or 18. To the Veterans Administration investigators conducting the study, this high rate of cancer-causing infection signals a “strong rationale” for a large-scale vaccination program.
Gardasil, which is also effective against HPV types 6 and 11—non-cancerous strains that can cause genital warts—is only approved for females between 9 and 29 years of age. A large clinical trial is currently exploring the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness in a study of men.
