The words ‘FDA approved’ or ‘FDA registered’ don’t mean as much as consumers often assume. If you’re shopping for a pill or gadget to trim your waistline, grow your hair or generally make you feel better, you probably take comfort in the words “FDA approved” or “FDA registered.”

Homer Simpson does it. Dagwood Bumstead does it. Snoring is a cartoon classic, but if you live with a snorer, it’s anything but funny. The nocturnal noise can ruin a good night’s sleep, or worse, can be a sign of sleep apnea, a more serious condition that often increases one’s risk of depression, memory difficulties, sexual dysfunction and even stroke and heart attack.

A new sexual health study has indicated that British women are
neglecting to get themselves tested for HIV. It
is hoped that this new research will act as a ‘wake-up call’ to women in Britain,
particularly to the 63% of the participants who believed that they did not need to
get tested because they were in a long term relationship.
The study by the Mac Aids Fund was developed to investigate British
women’s attitudes towards condoms. The results were worrying; with 82% of British
women admitting to having sex without a condom, and a further 35% claiming that they
trusted that their partner did not carry the HIV virus.
Despite the fact that cases of HIV and AIDS have tripled in the
last ten years a total of 62% of those interviewed claimed they did not consider the
disease to be a threat in their community.
Nancy Mahon, executive director of MAC Aids Fund expressed her
concern at the findings and claimed that the results indicated the divergence between
the perception of the disease and the reality of its prevalence in the UK.
The lack of condom use in Britain has also led to an increase
in other sexually transmitted diseases. Cases of gonorrhoea, genital herpes and syphilis
have all risen in number in the last decade as have cases of the symptomless condition
Chlamydia.
A high profile advertising campaign highlighting the risks of
unprotected sex is currently airing on TV and is hoped to raise awareness of the importance
of practising safe sex to young people in Britain.
