AIDS
continued from page 1
“When a person gets into the
passenger seat of a car and puts on
the seat belt, the driver doesn’t
question their trust in his or her
driving abilities,” he said. “Wear
ing condoms should be seen in the
same way.”
Diaphragms may prove to be an
alternative to condoms in prevent
ing the spread of HIV. The Univer
sity’s Center for the Study of
Women in Society recently re
ceived funding from the National
Institute of Child Health and Hu
man Development to study the ef
fectiveness of using diaphragms to
prevent the contraction of sexually
transmitted infections. The study
is scheduled to begin in January
2001 and may lay the groundwork
for future research.
The University Health Educa
tion Program sponsored a holiday
card-making art contest as part of
World AIDS Day. Five University
students each designed a greeting
card, and the finished products
will be sold in the EMU lobby to
day and Friday. The cards are sold
in bundles of 10 and cost $10. An
nie Dochnahl, a health educator,
said all proceeds from the card sale
will be donated to the HIV Al
liance.
“People often want to give to
HIV causes but don’t know where
to contribute their energy,”
Dochnahl said. She added that the
opportunity provides students
with a different way to contribute
to AIDS awareness.
The cards are blank inside and
have no specific holiday theme.
Dochnahl said she purposely did
not want them to be Christmas-re
lated, so everyone could use them.
She said several events in support
of AIDS have centered on art be
cause many artists have died from
the disease in the past.
“Our involvement serves as a
symbolic gesture to express a soli
darity for people living with AIDS
and show that HIV is still here,”
she said.
R. Jason Holland, a senior multi
media design major, designed one
of the greeting cards. He said part
of his involvement was to get his
(( When a person gets

be seen in the same way.
Dr. Gerald Fleischli

work published, but he also felt
wonderful that the project was for
World AIDS Day.
“AIDS is an issue that is close to
my heart, and too many people
still think it is only a gay health is
sue,” he said.
Holland said one of his most
pressing concerns about AIDS is
that too many people think it has
gone away, so they don’t need to
have the same level of concern and
awareness about the disease.
“If people know someone who
has AIDS, they need to know how
to be there for that person,” Hol
land said.
He thinks one way to support
someone suffering from the dis
ease is to become educated on the
subject, and education is especial
ly important for those likely to
contract the virus.
Mark Evans, senior staff psy
chologist of the University Coun
seling Center, said people who are
diagnosed with HIV often feel a
wide range of emotions, including
fear, sadness and anxiety.
“This kind of news stirs up
whatever baggage they’re carrying,
so they may feel isolated and aban
doned,” he said.
Evans thinks group support has
positive impacts on those who suf
fer from the disease, but the coun
seling center only offers one-on
one counseling because there is
not a large enough demand for
support groups.
“I only see one or two people a
year who are HIV-positive,” he
said, “so we deal with the person
as an individual and respond ac
cordingly to what they are going
through.”
Communication is also key to
dealing with AIDS, Evans said.
“It is important that those with
AIDS be able to tell their loved
ones what is going on,” he said,
“and we try to help them do that.”
