My, my, you must have stopped reading before you got to this:

By 365gay Newscenter Staff

07.24.2008 7:01pm EDT

(Canberra) An Australian court ruled Thursday that a lesbian couple
who had twins instead of a single child cannot sue the doctor who
performed in vitro fertilization on one of the women.

The couple, whose names cannot be published, filed a lawsuit against
Canberra obstetrician Sydney Robert Armellin seeking more than $400,000
for the lifetime care of the second child.

Armellin mistakenly implanted two embryos instead of the one that had
been sought.

The lawsuit, filed last year in the Supreme Court of the Australian
Capital Territory in Canberra, claims that as a result of the error and
the additional child, the birth mother is unable to maintain her
relationship with her same-sex partner.

The suit claimed that the birth of the second child created emotional
stress and the women cannot afford to bring up two children with a
combined income of just over $100,000.

The sperm used in the IVF treatment came from an anonymous Danish
donor. The twin girls that resulted are now four years of age.

The partner of the birth mother told the court that the stress caused
to the birth mother after learning she was about to have twins nearly
destroyed their relationship.

Before the twins came along, the mother was described as confident and
grounded and the women’s relationship strong.

Choking back tears the partner said that after the birth mother learned
she was carrying twins everything changed.

“I find that she doesn’t have the same ability to love that she used to
and the same capacity to, I guess, embrace differences and issues as a
couple or as a team,” she said.

The attorney for the defendant, Dr Sydney Robert Armellin, suggested to
the court that the problems faced by the couple were no different than
those encountered by most other couples who become new parents.

In her ruling, Justice Annabelle Bennett said that while the women had
expressed their desire for only one embryo to clinic staff, they had
not stated that directly to the doctor.

Therefore, she ruled, Bennett had not breached his duty and was not negligent.

Trends in HIV/AIDS Diagnoses Among Men Who Have Sex with Men --- 33
States, 2001--2006

In 2008, CDC conducted an analysis of trends in diagnoses of human
immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS)
among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the 33 states* that have had
confidential, name-based HIV case reporting since at least 2001. This
report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that
the number of HIV/AIDS diagnoses among MSM overall during 2001--2006
increased 8.6% (estimated annual percentage change [EAPC] = 1.5).
During 2001--2006, an estimated 214,379 persons had HIV/AIDS diagnosed
in the 33 states. Of these diagnoses, 46% were in MSM, and 4% were in
MSM who engaged in illicit injection-drug use (IDU) (i.e., MSM and
IDU). To reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS in the United States, HIV
prevention services that aim to reduce the risk for acquiring and
transmitting infection among MSM and link infected MSM to treatment
must be expanded.

In this report, HIV/AIDS refers to three categories of diagnoses
collectively: 1) a diagnosis of HIV infection (not AIDS), 2) a
diagnosis of HIV infection with subsequent AIDS diagnosis, and 3)
concurrent diagnoses of HIV infection and AIDS. Reporting cases of HIV
infection (not AIDS) and AIDS is now legally mandated in all U.S.
states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. The CDC
case definition for HIV infection (not AIDS) requires a positive test
result from an assay approved by the Food and Drug Administration that
demonstrates evidence of HIV infection; the case definition for AIDS
requires meeting the HIV infection (not AIDS) case definition, plus
diagnosis of at least one AIDS-defining illness or a CD4+ T-lymphocyte
count of <200 cells/µL.† Using the HIV/AIDS Reporting System (HARS),
case report data were collected by local and state health department
staff members and then transmitted to CDC devoid of patient names. The
findings in this report are based on HIV/AIDS diagnoses made during
2001--2006 and reported to CDC as of June 30, 2007 (1).

Numbers of diagnoses were adjusted for reporting delays and for
redistribution of cases with missing risk factor information, using a
standard method that has been described previously (2). This method
does not include statistical adjustments for diagnosed but unreported
cases or for cases yet to be diagnosed. To facilitate comparisons
between the estimated number of diagnoses occurring in 2001 and the
number occurring in 2006, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were
calculated. To examine trends, EAPCs with corresponding CIs were
calculated. EAPC measures the differences between adjacent years under
examination and then averages these inter-year differences. In this
report, transmission categories§ are discrete (e.g., "MSM" is distinct
from "MSM and IDU" and "IDU" is distinct from "MSM and IDU").
Accordingly, MSM who were also injection-drug users (MSM and IDU) were
excluded from analysis of MSM.

Of 214,379 HIV/AIDS diagnoses in 33 states during 2001--2006, a total
of 97,577 (46%) were among MSM. Decreases in diagnoses were observed in
all transmission categories except MSM (excluding MSM and IDU) (Figure
1). Among males, MSM accounted for 97,577 (63%) of cases. Men aged
25--44 years accounted for 64% of cases among MSM (Table). Among MSM,
the number of diagnoses increased from 16,081 (CI = 15,784--16,377) in
2001 to 17,465 (CI = 16,938--17,992) in 2006; (EAPC = 1.5) (Figure 1).

From 2001 to 2006, a 12.4% (EAPC = 1.9) increase in the number of
HIV/AIDS diagnoses among all black MSM was observed; however, an
increase of 93.1% (EAPC = 14.9) was observed among black MSM aged
13--24 years (Figure 2). During 2001--2006, approximately twice as many
(7,658) diagnoses occurred in black MSM aged 13--24 years as in their
white counterparts (3,221). The largest proportionate increase (255.6%
[EAPC = 30.8]) was among Asian/Pacific Islander MSM aged 13--24 years.
Among MSM aged 13--24 years, statistically significant increases in
diagnoses as measured by EAPC were observed in all racial/ethnic
populations except American Indian/Alaska Natives. Among MSM of all
ages, statistically significant increases as measured by EAPC were
observed in blacks, Hispanics, and Asian/Pacific Islanders.¶

Reported by: A Mitsch, MPH, X Hu, MS, K McDavid Harrison, PhD, T
Durant, PhD, Div of HIV/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, CDC.
Editorial Note:

During 2001--2006, male-to-male sex remained the largest HIV
transmission category in the United States and the only one associated
with an increasing number of HIV/AIDS diagnoses. In this analysis,
statistically significant decreases in HIV/AIDS diagnoses were observed
for all other transmission categories (i.e., among persons likely to
have been infected through high-risk heterosexual contact, IDU, MSM and
IDU, and other routes). Among MSM aged 13--24 years, statistically
significant increases in diagnoses were observed in nearly all
racial/ethnic populations. These findings underscore the need for
continued effective testing and risk reduction interventions for MSM,
particularly those aged <25 years.

The data in this report indicate when persons were diagnosed with HIV
infection, rather than when they became infected. This is an important
distinction because a person might have been infected with HIV for
years before receiving a diagnosis of HIV infection. Determining when
persons who have been diagnosed were actually infected is difficult.
Although HIV diagnosis data can provide some indication of underlying
trends in HIV infection, this approach has limitations. A greater
number of tests for HIV infection among MSM might partially explain the
observed increase in HIV/AIDS diagnoses. However, available data
suggest that these increases cannot be explained by increases in
testing alone; the increase could be attributed to more targeted
testing, increasing incidence, or some combination of these.**

To improve the nation's ability to track new HIV infections, CDC has
established a new system for measuring incident HIV infections at the
population level. A novel laboratory method will be combined with
standard case surveillance procedures and statistical estimations to
provide a better means of estimating national HIV incidence from the
number of persons who are newly diagnosed with HIV (3). This system
will be able to distinguish between recent and long-standing HIV-1
infection on a population level. Estimates from the new system are
expected to be available in 2008. The new system will provide a better
tool for measuring progress in the prevention of HIV infection than
data based on HIV/AIDS diagnoses alone, such as those described in this
report. Nevertheless, diagnosis data will continue to play an important
role in monitoring the HIV epidemic, particularly among adolescents and
young adults who, because of their age, are unlikely to have been
infected many years before diagnosis. Additionally, HIV/AIDS diagnosis
data will continue to provide useful information for evaluating efforts
to increase HIV testing and will allow programs that do not conduct HIV
incidence surveillance to monitor the HIV epidemic in their local area.

The findings in this report are subject to at least four limitations.
First, the 33-state case surveillance data are not representative of
all HIV-positive persons in the United States. However, the
racial/ethnic disparities described in this report are similar to those
observed in AIDS cases from all 50 states (4). Second, since 1993, the
proportion of HIV/AIDS cases reported to CDC without an identified risk
factor for HIV infection has been increasing. In 2006, no risk factor
was reported for 25% of HIV (not AIDS) adult and adolescent cases
reported to CDC (4). This results in an increasing proportion of cases
that are assigned to transmission categories (including male-to-male
sexual contact) not based on interview with patients, but rather via
statistical adjustment. Risk factor information often is missing
because patients decline to disclose behaviors that might place them at
risk for HIV transmission or are unaware of their sex partners'
high-risk behavior. Third, methods for reporting delay adjustments have
greatest uncertainty for the most recent years' estimates of HIV/AIDS
diagnoses; therefore, recent trends should be interpreted with caution.
Finally, a backlog of cases diagnosed earlier than recorded in the data
might have exaggerated the number of diagnoses in the first 2--3 years
after name-based HIV (not AIDS) case reporting was implemented (5). For
example, retrospective ascertainment of name-based HIV case reports
might have resulted in a substantial number of cases that were recorded
as diagnosed during 2001--2002 but were actually diagnosed earlier. New
York's implementation of name-based HIV reporting in June 2000 might
have magnified the effect of this backlog on the 33-state trend
analysis because New York data represented 21% of all HIV/AIDS
diagnoses during 2001--2006. After exclusion of New York from this
analysis, however, an even larger statistically significant increase in
HIV/AIDS diagnoses among MSM was observed during 2001--2006 (EAPC = 3.1
[CI = 2.4--3.9]).

To reduce transmission of HIV among MSM of all races/ethnicities,
prevention strategies should be strengthened, improved, and implemented
more broadly. Testing is important in preventing HIV transmission
because it provides knowledge of one's infection status; after persons
become aware that they are HIV positive, most reduce their high-risk
sexual behavior (6). In addition, an estimated 25% of HIV-infected
persons have not received a diagnosis of HIV infection (7). These
persons represent a challenge in terms of HIV prevention and case
ascertainment. Moreover, testing is the first step to linking persons
infected with HIV to medical care. CDC recommends at least annual
testing for sexually active MSM and an "opt-out" approach for screening
of all patients aged 13--64 years in clinical settings (Cool.

Ulcerative and nonulcerative sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such
as syphilis and gonorrhea facilitate HIV transmission from infected MSM
and acquisition of HIV by noninfected MSM; therefore, screening for
STDs in private and public clinical settings is an important component
of HIV prevention in MSM (9). STD and HIV prevention efforts should be
as fully integrated as possible. Furthermore, associations have been
observed between abuse of illicit and legal drugs such as
methamphetamine and alcohol, respectively, and high-risk behavior among
MSM. Screening for substance abuse in private and public clinical
settings is an important tool for reducing HIV transmission.††
Strengthened collaborations between STD, HIV, viral hepatitis, and
substance abuse programs should result in more effective HIV prevention
efforts.

CDC assists in the creation, development, and dissemination of
behavioral interventions for the MSM population. Recently, in
collaboration with the state health department and local organizations
in North Carolina, CDC implemented a successful intervention for young
black MSM (10). This intervention has resulted in decreases in
high-risk sexual behavior and the number of sex partners with whom such
behavior occurred. CDC recommends that state and local health
departments allocate HIV prevention resources to ensure that program
operations reflect the current state of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the
geographic areas for which each health department is responsible. In
support of CDC's strategic goal of reducing the number of new HIV
infections in the United States,§§ the proportion of MSM who adopt
behaviors that reduce risk for HIV transmission must increase.

excluded from analysis of MSM.

Of 214,379 HIV/AIDS diagnoses in 33 states during 2001--2006, a total
of 97,577 (46%) were among MSM. Decreases in diagnoses were observed in
all transmission categories except MSM (excluding MSM and IDU) (Figure
1). Among males, MSM accounted for 97,577 (63%) of cases. Men aged
25--44 years accounted for 64% of cases among MSM (Table). Among MSM,
the number of diagnoses increased from 16,081 (CI = 15,784--16,377) in
2001 to 17,465 (CI = 16,938--17,992) in 2006; (EAPC = 1.5) (Figure 1).

From 2001 to 2006, a 12.4% (EAPC = 1.9) increase in the number of
HIV/AIDS diagnoses among all black MSM was observed; however, an
increase of 93.1% (EAPC = 14.9) was observed among black MSM aged
13--24 years (Figure 2). During 2001--2006, approximately twice as many
(7,658) diagnoses occurred in black MSM aged 13--24 years as in their
white counterparts (3,221). The largest proportionate increase (255.6%
[EAPC = 30.8]) was among Asian/Pacific Islander MSM aged 13--24 years.
Among MSM aged 13--24 years, statistically significant increases in
diagnoses as measured by EAPC were observed in all racial/ethnic
populations except American Indian/Alaska Natives. Among MSM of all
ages, statistically significant increases as measured by EAPC were
observed in blacks, Hispanics, and Asian/Pacific Islanders.¶

Editorial Note:

During 2001--2006, male-to-male sex remained the largest HIV
transmission category in the United States and the only one associated
with an increasing number of HIV/AIDS diagnoses. In this analysis,
statistically significant decreases in HIV/AIDS diagnoses were observed
for all other transmission categories (i.e., among persons likely to
have been infected through high-risk heterosexual contact, IDU, MSM and
IDU, and other routes). Among MSM aged 13--24 years, statistically
significant increases in diagnoses were observed in nearly all
racial/ethnic populations. These findings underscore the need for
continued effective testing and risk reduction interventions for MSM,
particularly those aged <25 years.

The data in this report indicate when persons were diagnosed with HIV
infection, rather than when they became infected. This is an important
distinction because a person might have been infected with HIV for
years before receiving a diagnosis of HIV infection. Determining when
persons who have been diagnosed were actually infected is difficult.
Although HIV diagnosis data can provide some indication of underlying
trends in HIV infection, this approach has limitations. A greater
number of tests for HIV infection among MSM might partially explain the
observed increase in HIV/AIDS diagnoses. However, available data
suggest that these increases cannot be explained by increases in
testing alone; the increase could be attributed to more targeted
testing, increasing incidence, or some combination of these.**

To improve the nation's ability to track new HIV infections, CDC has
established a new system for measuring incident HIV infections at the
population level. A novel laboratory method will be combined with
standard case surveillance procedures and statistical estimations to
provide a better means of estimating national HIV incidence from the
number of persons who are newly diagnosed with HIV (3). This system
will be able to distinguish between recent and long-standing HIV-1
infection on a population level. Estimates from the new system are
expected to be available in 2008. The new system will provide a better
tool for measuring progress in the prevention of HIV infection than
data based on HIV/AIDS diagnoses alone, such as those described in this
report. Nevertheless, diagnosis data will continue to play an important
role in monitoring the HIV epidemic, particularly among adolescents and
young adults who, because of their age, are unlikely to have been
infected many years before diagnosis. Additionally, HIV/AIDS diagnosis
data will continue to provide useful information for evaluating efforts
to increase HIV testing and will allow programs that do not conduct HIV
incidence surveillance to monitor the HIV epidemic in their local area.

The findings in this report are subject to at least four limitations.
First, the 33-state case surveillance data are not representative of
all HIV-positive persons in the United States. However, the
racial/ethnic disparities described in this report are similar to those
observed in AIDS cases from all 50 states (4). Second, since 1993, the
proportion of HIV/AIDS cases reported to CDC without an identified risk
factor for HIV infection has been increasing. In 2006, no risk factor
was reported for 25% of HIV (not AIDS) adult and adolescent cases
reported to CDC (4). This results in an increasing proportion of cases
that are assigned to transmission categories (including male-to-male
sexual contact) not based on interview with patients, but rather via
statistical adjustment. Risk factor information often is missing
because patients decline to disclose behaviors that might place them at
risk for HIV transmission or are unaware of their sex partners'
high-risk behavior. Third, methods for reporting delay adjustments have
greatest uncertainty for the most recent years' estimates of HIV/AIDS
diagnoses; therefore, recent trends should be interpreted with caution.
Finally, a backlog of cases diagnosed earlier than recorded in the data
might have exaggerated the number of diagnoses in the first 2--3 years
after name-based HIV (not AIDS) case reporting was implemented (5). For
example, retrospective ascertainment of name-based HIV case reports
might have resulted in a substantial number of cases that were recorded
as diagnosed during 2001--2002 but were actually diagnosed earlier. New
York's implementation of name-based HIV reporting in June 2000 might
have magnified the effect of this backlog on the 33-state trend
analysis because New York data represented 21% of all HIV/AIDS
diagnoses during 2001--2006. After exclusion of New York from this
analysis, however, an even larger statistically significant increase in
HIV/AIDS diagnoses among MSM was observed during 2001--2006 (EAPC = 3.1
[CI = 2.4--3.9]).

To reduce transmission of HIV among MSM of all races/ethnicities,
prevention strategies should be strengthened, improved, and implemented
more broadly. Testing is important in preventing HIV transmission
because it provides knowledge of one's infection status; after persons
become aware that they are HIV positive, most reduce their high-risk
sexual behavior (6). In addition, an estimated 25% of HIV-infected
persons have not received a diagnosis of HIV infection (7). These
persons represent a challenge in terms of HIV prevention and case
ascertainment. Moreover, testing is the first step to linking persons
infected with HIV to medical care. CDC recommends at least annual
testing for sexually active MSM and an "opt-out" approach for screening
of all patients aged 13--64 years in clinical settings (Cool.

Ulcerative and nonulcerative sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such
as syphilis and gonorrhea facilitate HIV transmission from infected MSM
and acquisition of HIV by noninfected MSM; therefore, screening for
STDs in private and public clinical settings is an important component
of HIV prevention in MSM (9). STD and HIV prevention efforts should be
as fully integrated as possible. Furthermore, associations have been
observed between abuse of illicit and legal drugs such as
methamphetamine and alcohol, respectively, and high-risk behavior among
MSM. Screening for substance abuse in private and public clinical
settings is an important tool for reducing HIV transmission.††
Strengthened collaborations between STD, HIV, viral hepatitis, and
substance abuse programs should result in more effective HIV prevention
efforts.

CDC assists in the creation, development, and dissemination of
behavioral interventions for the MSM population. Recently, in
collaboration with the state health department and local organizations
in North Carolina, CDC implemented a successful intervention for young
black MSM (10). This intervention has resulted in decreases in
high-risk sexual behavior and the number of sex partners with whom such
behavior occurred. CDC recommends that state and local health
departments allocate HIV prevention resources to ensure that program
operations reflect the current state of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the
geographic areas for which each health department is responsible. In
support of CDC's strategic goal of reducing the number of new HIV
infections in the United States,§§ the proportion of MSM who adopt
behaviors that reduce risk for HIV transmission must increase.

Their Inability to Answer THESE Two Questions
with FACTS Indicts the RRR Cult, and PROVES
it to be a Crowd of Ignorant & Hateful Bigots.

The questions that NO one who opposes fully-legal same-sex
marriage, has EVER, to the best of my knowledge, been able to
answer factually:

"If a same-sex couple that's been cohabitating in a
community for 20 years gets the right to become
legally married to one another, and then ties the knot,
HOW could that possibly be detrimental in ANY way
to the marriage of any opposite-sex couple in that
community?

And...

"Congress, and several states have passed so-called
"Defense of Marriage Acts" (DOMA). Just WHAT suppos-
edly-detrimental factor could possibly affect opposite-
sex couples' marriages negatively, which could thus
justify so draconian a law? What do such laws "defend"
opposite-sex marriage AGAINST? What is the THREAT?"

Hey!! RRR Cultists! Inquiring SENSIBLE minds want to know.

And as MarkSebree said on Aug. 7, 2008 --

Same sex marriage does not harm anyone, and does not
infringe on the rights of heterosexuals, and it does not confer
onto homosexuals any rights that heterosexuals do not already
have. Therefore, there is no valid argument against homosexuals
having the same right to marry the consenting single adult of their
choice in the same manner and for the same reasons as hetero-
sexuals currently enjoy, and having that marriage recognized as
legally valid and binding just as widely the marriage between a
heterosexual couple.

My, my, you must have stopped reading before you got to this:

http://www.365gay.com/news/lesbian-moms-lawsuit/

By 365gay Newscenter Staff

07.24.2008 7:01pm EDT

(Canberra) An Australian court ruled Thursday that a lesbian couple who
had twins instead of a single child cannot sue the doctor who performed in
vitro fertilization on one of the women.

Some cut


No I have read it and am in complete agreement with the Judges decision. I
consider it a frivolous case, something we see so much of in the USA, and
has been slowly creeping in here in Australia. A few losses with very
healthy costs being awarded against persons who start frivolous case will
help to stop them.



It has IMHO nothing to do with Gay equality, but rather a couple of money
grabbers suing a Doctor.
