Why Is Public Health A Controversial Issue?


        Attempts to resist any change that will involve, directly or indirectly spending public funds are disputed by the opposition group. For example, the regiments of drugs introduced in the mid-1990s, which are able to control the damage of HIV / AIDS makes the immune system was costing an average of $ 10,500 for a year's supply . Many times when public health is its recommendation for ways to prevent and control sexually transmitted diseases, the government and companies have the obligation to determine the cause and the effect that the recommendation will have on the economy because of its affordable prices and the effect it could have on the general economy.

      Politics plays a very important role in how public health responds to sexually transmitted diseases. an important role is played, some politicians are willing and open to all voters bring their public health measures require more expensive than their voters difficulty. Therefore, through these accounts, it means depriving their voters to vote in elections. These controversies are, in part, what they are because, according to those who pay for public health measures are not reached; If the bills are not sponsored and passed by legislators, then there is no funding that greatly affects how public health responds to specific situations those sexually transmitted diseases such as sexually transmitted diseases and HIV / AIDS. Another way in which politics plays an important role could be seen when President Bush requires the Disease Control Center to change an effective sex education that involves the use of condoms to prevent the spread of HIV / AIDS false data rates condom failure.

      US Constitution has great weight in the freedom of individuals and that any decision of this kind, whether for health reasons or justice should put into consideration the freedom of individuals to the public interest Beauchamp of the arguments the limitation of the freedom of the individual to the common good is consistent with their view of public health and social justice. Although they are led to believe that the value of the freedom of an individual can be more important than the interest of health and public safety, this only applies to some issues, but not in all situations. The Government will agree with the recommendations of public health. Even in case of violation of the freedom of an individual if there is no dispute with the recommendations.

      Religion and morality in regard to sexually transmitted diseases including HIV / AIDS was struck by conservative fundamentalists and legislators preachers as God's punishment for the abominable behavior and that people living with HIV / AIDS deserved their fate. If half the people whose resources finance the public health problems still believe that the above statement, then you will certainly affect the role of the public health response to the prevention and control of diseases, such as sexually transmitted and HIV / AIDS.

    Challenges and controversies that exist for HIV / AIDS outside the United States include the processing of funds for people living with HIV / AIDS. Funds are needed to train more medical personnel to avoid drug shortages, combined care of HIV / AIDS to the attention of other health problems, reduce stigma and discrimination on HIV and ensure that more people use counseling services and testing for HIV / AIDS.

    Other challenges include the moral and religious issues in educating people on how to control and prevent sexually transmitted infections in some countries. For example, in a discussion of cultures on HIV / AIDS is perceived as a taboo and are not pleasant to public discussion.

market justice emphasizes individual responsibility and obligation. This line of thinking prevents an equitable distribution of burdens and benefits of society. While social justice infers that the distribution of wealth should be a fundamental right for all income levels layers. These ideologies are relevant in the sense that people who are successful in the company have the resources to finance the disease of HIV / AIDS that the poorest members of society.

      Political interference has played an important role in this because some politicians have used this opportunity to further their political ideologies. For example, the Bush administration is opposed to programs that promote condoms, but promotes programs that focuses on the effectiveness of abstinence.

     The economy, politics, the value of individual freedom, religion and morality, all play an important role in how the public health response to the prevention and control of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV / AIDS. These diseases affect public health and the most financially search the government for treatment. The government needs to budget money to spend on people infected with these diseases. Each segment of the government's economy is affected. They must create clinics, recruitment of qualified personnel and provide grants of money to support these places. Most public health clinics are free and offer services to the uninsured. Financial support for sexually transmitted diseases was a burden to the government and continues to be due to the stabilization of these diseases.

    For the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, the policy has been significantly involved in the intervention of public health. For example, doctors CDC recommended routinely tested for HIV to many of his patients. This was particularly true for those who have requested STD testing, those who may have TB symptoms, or a pregnant woman who enters their routine visits. Furthermore, these actions are an increase in the government's implementation in the welfare of public health. However, it is still controversial because the market of Justice to an individual can be violated. Yet they have the right to opt for this recommendation.

    The value of individual freedom is the choice for people to accept support through public health. In the case of support for sexually transmitted diseases, individuals have the opportunity to be treated and receive information to educate them on prevention. The government can intervene by providing treatment but also protection to promote safe sex. In addition, they participate through laws that force people to be informed of the health department on people living with HIV / AIDS. This can become controversial in the fact that people infected with the disease of the rights to privacy may be removed. However, it aims to ensure that everyone is protected and government policies are implemented in public health.

Religion and morality have similar views when the issue of HIV / AIDS is treated. They are not compatible with all investments in research and finding a cure for the disease. While the government provides protection and prevention through education by distributing condoms in clinics, the religious clergy are against it. They believe in abstinence and the use of the Bible to support their ideologies. I do not believe that schools should discuss means of protection against diseases student. Consequently, this will provide the reasons for engaging in sexual activity.

HIV / AIDS is a global pandemic that all parts of the world continues to spread. Many people in other countries are still not educated on how to protect themselves and receive treatment. Condoms are not easily available in the US to be protected against these diseases. Many people do not even know they have and continue to spread to the other. Funding for education and prevention remains the key challenge for these countries.

    The government of each country must take responsibility for its citizens and seek the help of the first countries in the world that can help attendance. If you are able to invest in mass communication to promote the prevention of HIV / AIDS, it can let people know how they can take the lead in their own health. Once they were informed that it depends on the individual to protect themselves. The government can not force people because of their market and social justice could be violated. They can continue to provide resources and hope to make a difference in slowing the spread of HIV / AIDS.
