ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia health officials plan to host a HIV and AIDS Twitter chat to mark World AIDS Day.
The hour-long chat will use the hash tag “(hash)GeorgiaWAD2012″ and is set to start at noon Saturday.
Discussion topics are set to include new HIV and AIDS numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the AIDS epidemic in Georgia, and what is being done to fight the spread of HIV in the state. There will also be information about HIV testing and AIDS treatment and prevention.
The CDC recently awarded the Georgia Department of Public Health $2.5 million to help get HIV-positive people to seek treatment.
Specifically views on abortion, health care, Afghanistan, and energy??
I am thinking of applying to the Emerging Leaders Program with the Department of Health and Human Services. I am getting my M. Ed. in Counseling and Ed. Psychology in May 2010. By that time, I will have a year and 2 months experience as a field data abstractor working on a developmental disabilities study for the CDC and 6 months experience as a surveillance officer for acute cases of hepatitis in the Georgia area as a state employee. I was thinking of applying to the Psychology/ Behavioral Sciences track on this program. It looks phenomenal and would be a great(almost dream type opportunity for me). Does anyone have advise on applying to the program, or any other similar programs to get a good paying career going in the behavioral sciences track of public health?

My mom is 46 and her job does not supply health insurance. She does not make a lot of money at all and she has a skin disease that needs treatment. Paying $200 a month for health insurance is out of the question. Does anyone know of an affordable plan that would allow her to see a doctor and get the treatment she needs?? Thanks!
California is closer to ending illegal “Anchor Baby” births
http://www.examiner.com/x-10317-San-Diego-County-Political-Buzz-Examiner~y2009m7d1-California-is-closer-to-ending-illegal-Anchor-Baby-births
San Diego – Californians are one step closer to ending the “Anchor Baby” births by illegals throughout the state. In an effort to close ever-expanding social service programs the California Taxpayer Protection Act of 2010, Initiative 09-0010 has begun the signature process.
The Attorney General of California released the last bit of paperwork required to get the “birth tourism” legislation moving forward. Petitioners must now collect approximately 450,000 California registered voter signatures.
At a press conference in front of the City Hall Administration building, Ted Hilton- author of the bill, Bill Morrow-retired California State Senator, Peter Nunez-former United States Attorney and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Enforcement joined together to inform the residents of California to take the immigration issue into their own hands.
This bill is for “real world citizens,” Morrow said. “The people of California have an opportunity to curb the illegal immigration. Many in California may not have seen the grass lately, but we’ve been seeding our roots.”
According to the Attorney General for the state of California, who prepares the title and summary, the state would deny birth certificates to children born to undocumented parents unless the mother provides a fingerprint and other information to be given to the federal authorities.
Finally, the initiative eliminates benefits for children in child-only CalWORKS cases which are not mandated by federal law.
For those who want reassurance, the public benefit restrictions in this initiative have already passed and are on the books in five states, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Oklahoma and Arizona.
The California ballot initiative is closely worded to the law on the books in Oklahoma, says Hilton.
Many in California believe the federal government has dropped the immigration ball over the last 40 years. “In Washington D.C. they have a few nicknames; reform is code word for amnesty,” Nunez explained.
He goes on to say that if Americans allow another amnesty wave to come ashore a new wave of immigrants will head to America – this time the number could be 40 million.
Again Nunez says, “It’s time for the states residents to take care of the illegal immigration problem, the federal, state and local governments have failed.”
As far as immigration containment issues there are three areas that need to be addressed; Border security, workforce enforcement and doling out of public benefits. This ballot initiative addresses the latter, benefits.
The crux of this issue is the “birth tourism.” The state currently pays $400 million per year in ‘normal childbirth,’ according to the state of California Department Health’s latest records. “This doesn’t include the cost of premature births which the Center for Disease Control estimates as 12 percent of all births. The costs to taxpayers for these births and those born with disabilities are over $1 billion more annually,” Hilton said.
According to California State Attorney General office, the initiative would save the taxpayers around $1 billion annually from eliminating the child-only CalWORKS program. Morrow believes the number is much higher. “If you add the costs for ending public benefits, the state will save much more than $1 billion per year.”
Another concerned group that has come out and supports the 2010 ballot initiative are African-Americans.
Ted Hayes who recently ran for congress against Maxine Waters in Los Angeles said, “American black men will stop the birth tourism problem connected to the 14th Amendment.”
“That law was meant for West African slaves, not Latinos crossing the border illegally,” Hayes firmly stated. “The Latinos are taking money from the sweat from our backs; we intend to take it back.”
Nunez concurs, “The 14th Amendment was a way for this country to overcome slavery. Our current national policy doesn’t even allow diplomats in this country to gain citizenship through birth.”
Hayes admits it’s time African-Americans to start fighting for their state and country. “The Latinos want to make this about race. I’ll make this about race. The sponsors of this bill are not racists, they’re Americans and we stand with them.”

Backed up by fact, Hilton notes in 1987 California’s teenage birth rate was below the national average. One short year later, pre-natal care commenced for illegal aliens. “Four years later that caused the state’s teenage birth rate to grow to twice the national average and the highest of any state,” says Hilton.
According to the State of California, Department of Public Health’s latest birth records show there were 562,157 live births. A staggering 293,276 were born to a mother of Hispanic background.

We want to decline erythromycin eye ointment when our baby is born, but I read on some sites that it is required by law. Is this true? Has anyone declined this ointment that lives in Georgia? What did you have to do to decline? Sign a waiver or just inform the hospital during check in?
The ointment is given to prevent blindness caused by mothers that have certain STDs, not for “routine” bateria. The ointment is not even effective against Group Strep B, it is specificly used to prevent issues if the mother has an STD, which I do not. The negative side effects out weigh the positive, if you do not have an STD. That’s why I am declining.

Felipe Matos graduated from a two-year college with an associate degree and honors for his academic achievements. But he put his dreams of earning a bachelor degree on hold because immigration laws make it financially impossible.Matos and three other undocumented students are walking 1,500 miles — from Miami to Washington, D.C. — to promote in-state tuition at public colleges for illegals and other aspects of immigration reform. The students were in Atlanta last week and plan to arrive in the nation’s capitol in May.
“When I arrived in this country I was told that if I worked hard and did my best, all my dreams would come true,” said Matos, 24, who attended school in Miami. “That is what I did but my dream is on hold. My dream may be simple but all I want to do is go into a room of high school students and teach them and tell them that they have talent and can do anything if they put their minds to it.”
For nearly a decade Congress has debated bills that would grant legal status to undocumented minors and guarantee them in-state tuition at public colleges. Immigration bills are currently before Congress but they face competition from those tied to the economy and health care.
Reform has implications for Georgia, which saw its illegal immigrant population grow by 20,000 to 480,000 in 2008, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Georgia was one of the few states to experience an increase, according to the report.
It’s difficult to determine how many undocumented students attend Georgia’s public colleges. The state doesn’t track the data and students are not required to disclose their status when they enroll

I have to give a real-word example, but I am clueless in what to write about! help?
I have 2 gay guy friends who say that women genitels symbolize satanism and are evil, this made me think………
I don’t think women’s genitels can hurt people, and I date both men and women,
but when I think of men’s genitels I cringe and think to myself “Ew…” I think to myself them ugly things can actually rape kids, babies, girls, boys, women, and men! then I think it causes sodomyy, then I think most hiv/aids comes from them. My mom and aunt work in a clinic for aids and sexual diseases and they say that gay men come in so much more than lesbians do, like 9 gay guys would come in and only 1 lesbian…
I have such a fear of the man part, its really weird I know don’t judge me I’d just hate to have one
Also, I always think to my self that it resembles a snake, and a snake made eve eat the apple.
So my friend on twitter has AIDS and wants to have sex with me, but I’m an alien. I was born in the Milky Way near the constellation Perseus and immigrated to earth (specifically the US) a little over ten years ago. I’d go into detail about what part of the galaxy my parents are from, but parents only actually exist on earth. He’s been really persistent on reproducing with me, but I just want to make sure I can’t get HIV/AIDS because I’m an alien.
Lady Gaga is an American pop singer-songwriter who was born on Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta on March 28, 1986 in New York City. She was inspired by musical artists such as David Bowie, Elton John, Queen Michael Jackson, Madonna, Amy Winehouse and many more. She is well known for her outrageous sense of style in fashion, stage performances, and music videos. However, this did not come easily for her. She had to put a lot of effort, practice, and dedication into her music career. She started playing piano at just 4 years old and writing piano ballads as a young teenager. Additionally, when Lady Gaga was just 11 years old, she attended Covent of the Sacred Heart, a private girls only Roman Catholic school. At 17, Gaga was one of 20 people worldwide to gain acceptance into the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. There she studied music composition and improved her songwriting skills. However, by the second semester of her sophomore year, she decided to withdraw in order to pursue her music career. Not too long afterwards, Gaga was signed to Streamline Records and there she met Akon. The rapper Akon recognized Gaga’s vocal abilities and talents and immediately signed her to his own label, Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga has released three music albums since she started her music career. She has released Red and Blue, The Fame, and The Fame Monster. Also, she is working on an album that is called Born This Way, which is scheduled to release on May 23, 2011. Her second album, The Fame was wildly successful internationally and nationally. This album reached number one on the record charts of 6 countries, has won its spot in many top ten lists worldwide, come in at number two on the Billboard 200 US chart, and topped many other charts as well. Her next album, The Fame Monster achieved similar success. As I had already mentioned, Born This Way has not yet been released but will probably be as successful or even more than her other albums because her song Born This Way has already been a worldwide hit. It has achieved the number one spot in many countries already and it is the fastest selling single in iTunes history, selling one million copies in five days.
Lady Gaga’s other achievements include five Grammy awards, 12 Grammy nominations, and two Guiness World Records. She has been named Artist of the Year in 2010 by Billboard because she was the top selling artist of that year. Gaga has been included in Time Magazine’s list of 100 Most Influential People in the World and Forbes Magazines’ list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential Celebrities of the World. Furthermore, in March of the year 2011, Lady Gaga hit 9 million followers on twitter, which makes her the most followed person ever on twitter. In addition, her music videos have been wildly popular on YouTube. Videos such as Just Dance and Alejandro have had over 100 million views, and Bad Romance has had over 351 million views, making her videos some of the most watched videos in YouTube history. Besides her music career, she also has been an activist for LGBT rights, as well as contributing to many charities and humanitarian works such as the 2010 Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund, the fight against AIDS and HIV, as well as helping to generate money for the Japanese Tsunami Relief efforts. She is only 25 years old and has already achieved such great fame and success. We can expect to see more from her in the years to come.
