“In the past few months, we’ve experienced near hysteria over swine flu and almost constant media attention to scares about tainted food,” syndicated columnist Marie Cocco writes in the Oregonian, adding, “These are genuine health hazards - but they aren’t necessarily deadly, nor do they affect nearly as many people in the United States and around the world as does AIDS.” Cocco discusses a recent finding by researchers from Columbia University and the Alan Guttmacher Institute that links a drop in condom use among teenagers “in part to waning public concern about transmission of HIV.” She writes, “The clear increase in the proportion of teenagers using condoms came during years when public health and media messages about the dangers of HIV were at a height.” Cocco continues, “You can argue, based on hard data, that when it comes to teenagers and sex, good policy and genuine leadership get better results than moralizing or ignoring signals that an upsurge in HIV infections may emerge” (Cocco, 7/2).
