1. The U.S. Government’s CDC is now recommending that all teens, 13 and up, be tested regularly for HIV at your doctor’s office. Do you think this is a good idea?

I would like to tell young people that I always need help doing research on the internet. When I go to speak to young audiences, I ask for assistance. Three young people have recently donated their time and energy to provide this important assistance.
Jonathan Woolf, a junior at Dartmouth College (my alma mater) in Hanover, New Hampshire has been of major help. Jonathan attended one of my talks at his fraternity Phi Delt (see news article). At a talk, I asked the brothers if anybody could help volunteer to do internet research. Jonathan did contact me and he has prepared a wonderful section on the current state of HIV in Asia. Most recently he has helped us revamp the "Ask Dr. John" section of the website.
Jenn Tuomala is a recent graduate of Fitchburg State College. She investigated some questions I had about condom manufacturing and quality assurance issues. While I tell young people the ABCs of AIDS that discusses condoms as a medical prophylaxis, I clearly warn them that not all condoms are made well. And if sexually active young adults don't know how to use one properly, condoms can break and HIV can be transmitted. Jenn collected a lot of information on the internet, both pro and con, that I need for a new section that will be posted soon on condom efficacy.
A high school student, Catie Steidl, whom I met at Hanover High School in New Hampshire, has recently done internet research on the possible super strain of HIV that was first suggested in news stories in early 2005. Her work equals any university student. I greatly appreciate all this student assistance as their work saves me innumerable hours surfing the net for the latest information. If any of you would like to help in my research, please contact me.
