This budget is to be imple mented next year. The nation’s economy has not rebounded. There is a need for these pro grams. In 2009 there was declme in median wealth of 36% due to “changes in stock and in house prices. Also that wealth had decreased for persons under 45 yrs old,” said Economic Professor at New York University, Edward N. Wolfif, in his 2010 pubUcation, Recent Trends in Household Wealth in the United States: Rising Debt and the Middle-Class Squeeze. When will Americans speak up and stop carrying the nation’s financial setbacks in si lence? Recent events across the Middle East have toppled governments over economic woes. “What you see happening on the streets of Cairo is not all that surprising when ypu see the lack of steps that their government has taken to meet their concerns,’” according to an interview with White House Press Secre tary Robert Gibbs and reported by the New York Times two weeks ago. There is no indicator that the U.S. is in the same economical dilenmia as Egypt. What will it take for Americans to stand up to the representatives that were elected to protect their interests? What will it take for citizens to stand up and say “it is enough ei ther do the job you were elected for or step down?” AIDS continued from page 1 papillomavirus (HPV). According to a website owned by the Freedom Network, some STD’s are treat able with antibiotics, for example chlamydia and gonorrhea, because they are bacterial and can be treated with medication. Contracting one of these diseases puts people at a greater risk for getting HIV or AIDS. Sexually transmitted diseases and infections are transmitted through sexual contact with another person. Diseases like HIV/AIDS can be transmitted through bodily fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids and even through breast milk. Here are just a few ways you can better protect yourselves according to the flyer posted by FSU Health Services and the CDC. ■ Use a condom, preferably made of latex EVERYTIME! Even if you are in a monogamous rela tionship. ■ When using a condom, read the instructions. Make sure the con dom is still in good condition and that no part of the genital area is exposed. ■ ABSTINENCE! Abstinence is the only fool proof method. ■ Get tested and have your part ner get tested as well. Knowing your status can help keep you and your loved ones safe. ■ It is okay to ask about your partner’s sexual history. You have the right to know. ■ Have open discussions with everyone you know about HIV/ AIDS, it helps alleviate the nega tive stigmas and makes people feel more comfortable about going to get tests. With all the different methods of protection, the only fool proof method that works one hundred percent of the time is abstinence. Refraining from sexual activ ity until one is in a solid, trusting, monogamous relationship with a spouse is the best bet to remain free from disease and infection. If you have any questions, con cerns or just want to talk to some one you can make an appointment to speak with a counselor at the Center for Personal Development. Or you can go to the Spaulding In firmary and ask for assistance. If you want to get checked for HIV/AIDS or other STD’s, testing is available on campus for free. Call and make an appointment at Health Services at 910-672-1454.
