HIV Diagnoses Among Men In New Orleans Growing, Large Increases Reported Among Blacks
HIV diagnoses among all men in Louisiana declined from 1997 to 2006, but increased in 2007 and 2008 - diagnoses in the New Orleans metropolitan area alone increased by 9 percent from 2007 to 2008, according to the Louisiana Office of Public Health, the New Orleans Times Picayune reports. Of particular concern are the increases among black men in New Orleans. Among black men of all ages, new HIV diagnoses increased by 4 percent from 2007 to 2008, but increased 23 percent for black men age 20 to 24 and 30 percent for those age 45 to 54. The reasons behind the findings are "complex," according to the Times Picayune. Risky sexual behavior, a "declining sense of concern among young people about AIDS and the stubborn cultural stigma of homosexuality in the black community are all believed to be factors," the Times Picayune reports (Sandoval-Griffin, New Orleans Times Picayune, 6/27).

CNP Supplements Helps British Troops Train In Afghanistan

If an army marches on its stomach, it surely gets fit with good nutrition. And now, in Afghanistan, British soldiers are under more pressure to stay fit than ever before. At high altitudes, and when out on active operations, they can"t afford to let their fitness slide. Recently nutrition supplements specialist CNP Professional noticed that soldiers on active service in Kabul were ordering their products. We asked one of the soldiers, Lance Corporal Lando Nel, about his training schedule, nutrition, and how he keeps in shape. Before the army Lando was himself a personal trainer and nutritionist, and this experience not only keeps him in peak shape, but helps him advise his comrades-in-arms too. "I started using CNP before joining the military, when I was doing intensive fitness training," Lando says. "It really helped me gain a lot of good mass, and that initial surge in weight and muscle gain was one of my most memorable times. I used Pro Mass and Pro MR a lot, pretty much after each weight training session, and the results were staggering - they really work! "Fitness is a way of life out here in Afghanistan," he adds. "It"s an integral part of our line of work; but how we eat and drink is as important as how we exercise. The 1800-metre altitude in Kabul causes problems for everyone when they first arrive. The first time I played touch rugby at the camp, my lungs burned like hell - I had a whole new level of training to put in place. "One area where it"s perhaps different from conventional training in the UK is that we vary the training routine a lot, just to keep our bodies guessing and growing. One week we"ll do strength training, the next muscle building, or circuit training, and we"ll include spinning classes and cardio. Currently we are focusing more on strength and conditioning. We train to keep the entire body free from muscle injury and make life out here more comfortable. "The facilities here are excellent, and we are spoiled for choice in equipment. British soldiers are actually returning home fitter and stronger than when they arrive. But having the CNP supplements is adding a whole new layer to my training. When I was out on one operation recently, I lost 5kg in three weeks, so when I returned to base I used CNP products to help me put the weight back on properly while building strength. "We take a whole range of CNP supplements daily - protein, creatine, protein bars, energy drinks and so on. We all especially love the CNP flapjacks and energy bars, and eat loads of them. When you"re on operations and you need a quick snack, they really fill you up properly, without bloating." CNP Professional is one of the UK"s leading sports nutrition specialist companies.
