Feb. 25, 2005 -- A vaginal gel has strong HIV- and herpes-blocking action even an hour after use. The gel is PRO 2000, now in large-scale clinical tests. It's hoped that the odorless, colorless product -- what scientists call a vaginal microbicide -- will slow the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. The new findings come in a report by Mount Sinai School of Medicine researcher Marla Keller, MD, at this week's 12th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston. "There is an urgent need for the development of safe and effective vaginal microbicides," Keller says, in a news release. "While condoms offer protection against sexually transmitted infections, their effectiveness is limited because they require partner initiation or consent." A vaginal microbicide thus offers women a way to protect themselves against HIV and STDs, even if their sex partner refuses to use a condom. Keller's team randomly gave PRO 2000 -- or an identical gel with no active ingredient -- to 20 women with HIV infection. An hour later, they collected vaginal fluids from each of the women. In lab studies, they tested whether these vaginal fluids could prevent HIV or herpes infection of human cells. PRO 2000 treatment made it nearly 1,300 times harder for HIV to infect cells -- nearly 500 times better than placebo. PRO 2000 also made it 2,600 times harder for herpes simplex virus to infect cells -- about 260 times better than placebo. And there's more good news: A microbicide won't do much good if it causes inflammatory responses that make vaginal tissues redden and swell. Analysis of PRO 2000-treated fluids showed no sign of the chemical messengers that trigger these unwanted responses. The U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases recently announced the start of a large trial testing PRO 2000 and another vaginal microbicide, BufferGel. Unlike PRO 2000, which contains a virus-blocking agent, BufferGel boosts the vagina's natural acidity, which hinders the ability of the virus to infect cells. The 2.5-year trial will take place in Philadelphia, South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. PRO 2000 is made by Indevus Pharmaceuticals, in Lexington, Mass. BufferGel is made by ReProtect Inc., in Baltimore, Md. |

Genital herpes can be categorized into 8 phases, or stages, depending on the symptoms you're experiencing: Warning (prodrome) Early redness Small blisters (vesicles) Swelling (edema) Wet ulcers Dry crust Healed Asymptomatic It's important to know that you may experience a few of the stages and not all of them. Not every stage occurs in every person with genital herpes. You may be able to sense when the genital herpes virus has become active and an outbreak is about to occur. This is called the prodrome, or warning stage. Warning signs can occur for a few minutes or a few days before an outbreak occurs. Warning signs may occur at the site where the outbreak will appear, or in other parts of the body. These signs are different for everyone. You may experience some of the following warning signs: Tingling, itching, or burning in one area of the genitals (vagina, vulva, anus, penis, or scrotum) Pain in the leg or buttocks Burning on the side of the leg or bottom of one foot Flu-like symptoms such as headache, fever, and swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the groin Feeling emotionally irritable or depressed During the prodromal stage, 20% to 25% of people begin to have the active herpes virus present on the skin. When the virus is present on the skin it can be spread to another person. During the next few phases, one or more genital herpes sores begin to develop on the skin. The virus is active on the skin during this time. Remember, not all people with genital herpes experience visible sores during an outbreak. Sores develop in the following stages: Early redness may be seen in a small area of skin. This area may be sensitive, itchy, or painful to the touch. Small area of swelling, which may not be noticed. Small blisters filled with fluid (clear, whitish, or red) form on top of the area that had early redness and/or swelling. There may be one blister, a few blisters, or groups of blisters. Wet ulcers appear when the tops of the blisters come off. They may look like red, swollen areas or small cuts. These sores may feel tender and/or raw to the touch. There may be one tiny sore, a group of sores, or several large ulcers. Dry crust (scab) forms over the wet ulcer as the sore begins to heal. The crust hardens as the sore dries, and new skin grows underneath the scab. Healing is complete when the crust falls off or the sore dries without forming a crust. The area where the sore appeared may be red or look different than the surrounding skin. During the asymptomatic phase, the genital herpes virus is usually dormant, which means it's not active on the skin and there are no symptoms. However, even if your body does not sense an outbreak, there is a risk that the virus may be actively replicating—this is called viral shedding. During asymptomatic viral shedding, a person can spread the herpes virus, but not have any signs or symptoms. Asymptomatic viral shedding is sometimes referred to as a "silent outbreak." Even with antiviral treatment, it is possible to spread the herpes virus. While the virus is not always active during the asymptomatic phase, it is impossible to know when it is inactive. Unfortunately, people can still pass the virus during this phase, even when they don't have any symptoms of genital herpes. This is important to remember because no treatment can totally prevent the spread of genital herpes. This is why people with genital herpes should always use a latex condom or latex barriers during sex. (Please see your doctor for alternative barrier methods if you're allergic to latex.) Even though condoms have been shown to reduce transmission, they are not always effective. While the virus cannot get through the latex condom, it is important that it covers the infected area so as to avoid the skin-to-skin contact. It may be days, weeks, months, or years between outbreaks. If and when the virus "wakes up" and becomes active again, you might experience symptoms of another outbreak. Unfortunately, no one can predict when another outbreak will occur. Outbreaks that occur after the first one are called recurrent genital herpes. |

More on Herpes..... Many people do not have a clear understanding of what genital herpes is, how it is transmitted, and what the symptoms are. The biggest misconception is that genital herpes is a disease associated with promiscuous behavior. Symptoms of genital herpes can first appear a long time after the person has contracted the disease—you may have contracted it from a sexual partner long ago. Your partner may have genital herpes without knowing it—he or she may have passed it on to you without showing signs of the disease. The first thing that is important to understand is what causes herpes, and the difference between the two types of herpes viruses, type 1 and type 2. What Causes Genital Herpes? Genital herpes is almost always sexually transmitted. It is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus one of the same family of viruses that causes chicken pox, cold sores, and mononucleosis. Two different types of herpes simplex viruses can cause herpes. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) usually causes oral herpes (cold sores or fever blisters) on the face and mouth. Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) usually causes genital herpes. The symptoms of genital herpes may include: A rash, bumps, blisters, cuts, or sores in or around the genital area (vagina, vulva, anus, penis, or scrotum) Itching, burning, tingling, or swelling in or around the genital area Aches or pains in or around the genital area Discharge from the penis or vagina Burning and/or pain when urinating Flu-like symptoms such as headache, fever, and swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the groin Although HSV-1 causes the majority of oral herpes cases (cold sores) and HSV-2 causes the majority of genital herpes cases, both of these viruses can cause oral herpes, genital herpes, or both. Most type 1 genital herpes is caused by unprotected oral sex. In adults, the potential for type 1 genital herpes may be increasing because oral sex is more common and protection is rarely used. Outbreaks of type 1 genital herpes generally recur less frequently than outbreaks of type 2 genital herpes. In the United States, about one third of genital herpes cases are caused by type 1 genital herpes. More people are engaging in oral sex. You may believe that by having oral sex and not intercourse you are practicing safe sex. Unfortunately, this is not true. The type 1 herpes virus can be spread through oral sex—what was a cold sore on your partner's mouth could develop as genital herpes in you. It is important to use barrier protection during oral sex. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease. Therefore, if you are experiencing genital herpes symptoms, it's important for you understand the transmission risks and facts. People with genital herpes often worry about transmitting the disease to their partner, and this is an important issue to address. But having genital herpes doesn't mean the end of your sex life—many people with genital herpes enjoy an active sex life. Transmission of Genital Herpes Genital herpes is most often spread from person to person through sexual contact. Herpes cannot spread through the air like the common cold. Direct skin contact in an environment that contains heat and moisture is necessary for transmission. Genital herpes can be spread in a variety of ways, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. But the genital herpes virus can also be present on the skin surrounding the genital area, and skin-to-skin contact in this area can also spread the virus. Contrary to what you may have heard or what you may believe, it is not spread from toilet seats or trying on bathing suits. In addition, physical symptoms do not have to be present to spread genital herpes to another person. Some people are unaware that they have genital herpes because their symptoms are so mild (eg, bump or rash), and they unknowingly spread the virus to others. You can also be contagious and spread the herpes virus, but not have any signs or symptoms at all. This is called asymptomatic viral shedding. It's also important to know that transmission of the herpes virus can occur in heterosexual and homosexual relationships (both men and women). After a diagnosis of genital herpes has been made, people usually begin to clearly recognize the symptoms they experience with an outbreak. One clinical study showed that episodic treatment with prescription oral FAMVIR® (famciclovir) significantly relieved all of the symptoms of a genital herpes outbreak compared to a sugar pill. In another study, FAMVIR helped reduce the number of outbreaks compared to a sugar pill. In the same study, many people on twice-daily suppressive therapy with FAMVIR went almost a year without experiencing an outbreak. |

Hey everyone. I have Herpes :) My health teacher infected me, and now as a punishment I have to do research as well. (Of course, I'm joking) So here's some facts for those suffering Did you know that itching, burning, tingling, bumps, or swelling in or around the genital area can be a sign of genital herpes (GH)? GH is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus, and is almost always sexually transmitted. While GH is often mistaken for some other condition, the symptoms of GH often return over time. Read on to learn more about the symptoms of GH. Some people with GH may mistake their symptoms for a simple irritation of the skin, razor burn, jock itch, or even a yeast infection. Others may think that their symptoms are the result of tight clothing, heavy sweating, or from an allergic reaction to laundry detergent. People also often assume that because the symptoms may not seem very intense, and because they tend to go away after several days, that it's not "serious" enough to be something like GH. Unfortunately, many people avoid seeing their healthcare provider and "write off" their recurring symptoms for years, possibly exposing partners to the virus, and avoiding an opportunity to seek relief for their symptoms with medication. If you've tried to treat your symptoms with prescription or over-the-counter topical medications and the symptoms recur, you may want to see a healthcare professional about getting tested for GH. If you have GH, your doctor may prescribe an oral antiviral medication that can treat your symptoms. You should consult your doctor as soon as possible if you have experienced or are experiencing any of the following symptoms (check the ones that apply to you): Itching, burning, or tingling in or around the genital area Aches or pains in or around the genital area A rash, bumps, blisters, cuts, or sores in or around the genital area Vaginal or penile discharge Burning and/or pain when urinating Flu-like symptoms such as headache, fever, and swollen glands The symptoms and severity of GH outbreaks can vary greatly from person to person. Some people experience severe outbreaks, with very painful burning and sores in the genital area, while others have milder symptoms such as itching and redness during an outbreak, or no symptoms at all. In fact, among the estimated 50 million Americans who have GH, 90% don't even realize they have the disease and could be spreading the virus without knowing it. The symptoms of GH may first appear a long time after the person has contracted the disease—he or she may have contracted it from a sexual partner long ago. Their partner may have GH without knowing it—he or she may have passed it on without showing signs of the disease. GH symptoms can appear in various areas of the body. Once you have been infected with the herpes virus, the virus enters the body, travels to the bundle of nerves at the base of the spine, and lies dormant (inactive). Once the virus becomes active, it travels along nerve paths back to the surface of the skin, where it may cause an outbreak. The nerves in the buttocks, genital area, and upper thighs are connected. Therefore an outbreak can occur in any of the following areas: Anus Buttocks Penis Scrotum or testicles Thigh Vagina Vulva Remember, many people do not have the "typical" GH sores (lesions). Symptoms vary by individual and may vary from outbreak to outbreak. If you have any burning, itching, pain, cracks (fissures) in the skin, swelling, and/or blistering in or around your genitals, buttocks, anus, or thigh area, you should see a healthcare professional or go to a sexual health clinic as soon as possible. GH outbreaks have also been mistaken for other conditions such as urinary tract infections, rough sex, abrasions, ingrown hair follicles, hemorrhoids, or insect bites. What distinguishes GH from these conditions is the fact that the symptoms may return over time and in the same location even though you thought you had gotten rid of them. If you have experienced any of these types of symptoms, you should see a healthcare professional. Diagnostic tests that can more accurately diagnose GH are now available. Avoid touching or scratching these affected areas because your fingernails may introduce bacteria and cause a bacterial infection. Applying over-the-counter topical medications or natural remedies to the area may worsen your symptoms and could potentially make the diagnosis more difficult. Also, you may carry the infection from one part of your body to another part. |

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder, first and foremost. It is not a thought disorder. Although the thoughts associated with OCD are bizarre, they are not at all the focal point of the therapeutic objective. The essential features of OCD are recurrent obsessions (thoughts) that create an awareness of alarm or threat. (e.g., "I might get AIDS from the germs on that door knob;" "Since I had the thought of killing my baby, I might be capable of doing it;" "If I don't pick up that Band-Aid someone else might get sick from it, and I would hold myself culpable;" etc.). Persons typically engage in some avoidance or escape response in reaction to the obsessive threat (I typically refer to the obsessive threat as a "spike."). Obsessions take the form of either a perceived threat of physical harm to oneself or others or, in some cases, more of a metaphysical or spiritual threat to oneself, others, or perhaps a deity. I conceptualize the overall syndrome of OCD to consist of three primary branches. Within all three branches, in approximately 80% of all cases, persons performing these rituals are painfully aware that their behavior is unreasonable and irrational (see Speak of the Devil). However this insight provides no relief. Therefore attempting to help sufferers through reassurance has no long lasting positive effect. http://www.ocdonline.com/defineocd.htm The following is a basic description of a traditional Behavioral approach toward the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The author will attempt to explain how cognitive mechanisms (i.e., style of thinking) and time tested behavioral techniques (i.e., exposure and response prevention), can augment treatment strategies available for OCD. The importance of a healthy rapport between client and therapist will be discussed. A historical perspective will then be presented to familiarize the reader with traditional cognitive-behavioral principles. The main thrust of this paper will be to delineate the differences between the person's conceptual understanding of OCD and specific cognitive management strategies. The person's conceptual understanding (CU) of OCD provides a rationale for specific treatment components. Cognitive management (CM), on the other hand, mitigates anxiety and reduces the frequency of disturbing mental prompts. |

I had school until Thursday, then Friday morning we opened presents. I got good stuff. Parents got me a new digital camera. A nonsucky one too :) Got some clothes, books, music, and a toothbrush. The usual stocking stuffer my mom gets. There wasnt any food this year though, which made me sad. I liked getting a can of olives. Got Napoeleon Dynamite. XD Hell yes. That movie kicks major nose. You need to see it. You have to see it. So then Friday we hop into the minivan and drive for three hours until we arrive in The Hole in the Wall town that is my family's nesting area. Christmas eve we went to the Skubel's party.......the house was filled with smoke...and trust me, the house isnt large. By the time we went home I was dying. Damn smokers. Christmas was kinda crazy...but ok......we had breakfast at Bruce's, and Makayla came and opened her gifts, then Bruce bascilly threw ours at us. My Mom got Bubble Wrap. Haha, awesome. I love bubble wrap. I got a portable DVD player.......I was shocked.......How cool.....I did not expect that at all.....you knever know with Bruce...he goes from dirt poor to insanly rich in a matter of months..oh well, that was an awesome gift. Then we went over to the Scotts for some dinner.....I was foced to eat some meat.....blah...disgusting...I got the middle part, so it was all rare, because some of the old pedople like it raw....and it was bascilly all fat, and I got some string. Nasty. I'll stick to my potatos thank you. The next morning we went over to grandmas house and thus began the insane rush to open any present possible. Bruce had to pick up a frind in Albany in like an hour, so he rushed us. My mom spazzed, but I thought it was the same as every year. She got me all three Lord of the Rings extended versons. XD Obsessed? No......just really like them. She got me a razor too, which was great because I desperatly needed one. Um....yea...then we went home. Oh, when we got home, we found two things. 1. The cats ran out of food, and Watasha, being the smarter one, discovered Dads fruitcake, knocked it off the table, and provided them with a feast. Only it didnt sit well with them, so there was barf all over the house. Lovely 2. The heater broke, so it was 43 when we got home. We had to wear like 3 layers until 9 when the guy finally came. A bit cold. I dont think anything else happened.......New Years Eve, my mom wanted to go tubing, so I invited Jessica and we all went up to Nashoba....that was a fun time....one of the guys wokring there was quite cute...... then we went home, and had some fondue food (forgot to mention we got that for Christmas). My night consisted of me playng Mario Cart by myself over and over again, seeing if I could win with every character. Then it was midnight, and my dad was drunk, then we watched Conan, and then I went to sleep. And yea...thats it.......now its....um....some day in January......I dont know what day it is....its a Monday....... but yea.....thats it...nothing special.... So life sucks now, but whatever. It always sucks And thats it. Yea |

Hey, havent updated in a while. Nothing has really happened in my life. Well, stuff has, but its either little things or things that dont directly affect me. I've mostly been thinking Christmas is here again. It feels so much longer than one year since the last one. Just thinking back, I'm so different now. I feel so much better. I don't know why I felt the way I did last year. I guess it was just a tough time for me overall. And I also don't know why I changed, but I did. ::Two hours later:: I had this growing idea of what to write, but I got distracted by cookies, ramen noodles, and TV, so I forgot it all. If I remember I'll post later |

So yea, long time past, dont remember anything. I finished reading a book. XD I read!!! XD Anyway, read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister Really good book. I recommend for anyone who feels like reading. What else? I honestly dont know. So oh well. Oh, mom got laid off, back has been acting up again, and we now have fugdge, and enough ice cream to make 3 people fat. Mmmmmm |

So yes....I have no idea what has happened since I last wrote. So I'll just explain yesterday Was up late doing Lab report and essay. For some reason I wasn't too tired though, so it worked out. Had two tests in the morning, Geometry and Chemistry. Found out i got half of the geometry one wrong. Chem test was wicked easy. I think I got above an 80, which is awesome. :) Had to run in gym. I like running, just not in circles, and especialy not now seeing as I'm out of shape. It makes me really sad. :( I need to start getting back in shape. Um...the rest of the day was a day.....so yea....had two subs.....very nice there... After school me, Jessica, and Katie went to get empanads.... MMmmm.....empanadas........Me and Katie got three......Jessica got six. Hahah. I should have gotten more...but three was fine. I wasn't stuffed, and I wasnt hungry. So it was good. We finished at 3, and instead of heading back downtown to wait another 40 minutes, we went up the hill. Our plan was to go to Arlyn's, but she wasnt there, so we sat on top of the resavour (spelt that wrong, but oh well...you get the idea) until about 4:30. Got a bit cold, and poor jessica had sandals on. So we went to the corner, under a street light next to a half a nazi symbol, and wating for arlyn. Then we went to her house, and got warm, then tried to find zak in the dark...then Katie's mom came home and got us. Went home, then went out to the movies. Arlyn, Katie, Zak, Jessica, and I. We saw the Incredibles. XD I like that movie. Even the freaky baby. The girl looked like the girl from the grudge in the beginning though.......bit sketchy. I went home and went to sleep, and now I'm here. back is hurting a bit, but other than that Im ok. Mom let me sleep late, so I'm rested, but groggy. I'm supposed to do something with Kelcey and Jessica.....and with Natashia last I knew....I donno.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATASHIA!!!!! |

My hair is blonde again. Well, closer to blonde. My roots are 'warm blonde' thanks to a magic shampoo i have. My tips and everything is either light light blonde or greenish. Mr. Daley said I have christmas hair. XD So yea...hmm...what has happened..... ITS SNOWED!!!!!YESS!!!!! god I love winter. I love snow. I love the cold. I can't wait to get back out and snowboard. I'm determined to get better. I'm going to make the best of the very few times I do get on the slopes and enjoy myself. Um...... haha, i dont know much else.... I have lost faith in humanity. I've given them enough chances. Yesterday was my moms birthday, and it was snowing, and what happens to me? I get spit on. A nice big loogey, landed right in my hair above my ear. Lovely. Fucking lovely. 2nd time in 3 weeks too that I've been spit on. What the hell. Am I invisable or something? I'm just so sick of it. People are disgusting jerks with no sense of the world around them. So yea...that ruined my day and lead to me just breaking down completely. I guess everything has just been building up, and that topped it off. It didnt help that no one really cared either.... I discovered a pattern yesterday. Whenever I'm really depressed, I clean. I did a load of laundry or two and did the dishes. Thats all I could get done. I may clean but I clean slow. My dad apparently had told my brother to do the dishes, or at least put the clean ones away, since the morning. And he told him again and again throughout the day. But ryan cant hear anything, he just plays his video game. So when my mom pulls in, he runs down desperatly trying to find something to clean so he wont lose his game. That pissed me off even more. And I just snapped. So on top of not having anything for my mom, I get into this huge argument with Ryan. I felt like crap for doing that to her. So after we all calmed down, she opeend presents and we had some angel food cake. Dad got her some Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge. Ryan liked the way it smelt, so she gave some to us, and he gagged. it made me laugh. ....Stuff was strong, but I liked it. Went to be early that night. I was exhausted. This morning I woke up to more snow. Ah! I love it! I forgot how great it was to wake up to snow. XD So today is better. I've got a lot of homework to do, and I'm procrastinating once again, but I dont want to do homework...I need a day off. :edit: On Tuesday, mother and I went into Boston nice and early for a back appointment. Only had to get three x rays this time, thanfully. Docter dude said back has gotten a tiny bit better and that I only make an appointment if it gets really bad again. So happiness there. Then mom and I headed over to Fanial Hall, going through just about every part of Boston to get there. My mom took a wrong turn, so we just kept heading straight. Went by Boston Common. Made a circle in Chinatown.....asked someone for directions when it stopped looking like a city.... Mom got paranoid when we were almost there and turned into the North End. Made another circle there. Then finally got there. Ate at Quincy Market. I noticed that one of the plastic windows had a dent in the shape of a pigeon, wings included. Poor, stupid bird. We shopped for a bit, then went home. |

Do you ever stop to count all the invitations At the end of the day when it comes down to one decision Of dead beat girls and freaks at a peoples convention, All these sugars with no vitamin sensation. Do you ever stop to look over old relations, Or look to the belly of another one's emotions, Someone young in the winds of a revolution Trying to save his face in the evolution. Asleep at the wheel, No windshield, But you know that the streets Here don't change. He's kept alive in the chain of mental starvation, Bone rail skinny, only feeding off frustration. Unlike you who seem bred from corruption Feeding off the plates of an ununited nation. Asleep at the wheel, No windshield, But you know that the streets Here don't change. With a lover in the street whose waiting to make a connection To be the mother to the soul of your next abortion, She'll steal your money with the eyes of a baby's complexion Then she'll laugh at you and your sexual invention. Smelling like a rose, in the flowers of devotion, Devoted the heat of a spotlight in motion, With a face full of mud even though you were only joking As if you really understood the value of isolation. Asleep at the wheel, No windshield, But you know that the streets Here don't change. Your tongue so fast like a freight train coming on rollin' Every smile you give's just to keep your mouth from clothin' Every engine burns as a sign of the explosion Locked in neutral your engines are broken. Like candle wax that sun melts into the ocean, Like the moon that lights the tracks of the old train station, You can color in the lines of mother earth's addictions, And not hold a gun in the face of the Earth's abduction Asleep at the wheel, No windshield, But you know that the streets Here don't change. |

That was my Halloween. The first year I didn't go out and get candy. It was quite depressing actually. On the up side, however, we only had like 15 kids total, and we made each one take only one, because we're evil, so now we have two giant bowls full of candy. Haha, yes. :) I need to get all the good ones before Ryan gets to them. Today I had to swim...and yea...my hair is all gross from the bleaching....its doing something weird, but its hard to explain.Its like some weird chemical reaction or something. Oh well.
