By Peggy Post. Both people should be willing to have blood tests and medical checkups and to exchange the results. For a number of reasons, people may lie about test results, so a literal exchange of records is not only reasonable but advisable.

Contraception Online Slides - confidentiality, sexual activity This slide talk addresses the responsibilities of clinicians who care for adolescents for reducing the incidence of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in this patient population.

Clinicians who treat adolescents must understand the obstacles that may prevent their patients from seeking contraceptive and other health care services. Several issues of concern to adolescents have been identified, and chief among these is confidentiality.

The Gay Lifestyle: Nothing Joyful about the Facts I recently sat on a discussion panel in a Graduate-Level Counseling/Psychology class at the local university. The night’s topic was in regard to homosexuality. My two co-panelists included a conservative Baptist preacher and a Gay male. When I introduced myself to the class, I made it clear that, although I consider homosexuality a sin, according to Scripture, it is only one of many sins which include heterosexual sex outside of marriage, lying, stealing, pride, etc. As with all other sins, I added, there are consequences - not punishment - but negative responses for our own poor choices. I stated that God created sex but He did Future Weapons And Iraq ...
During that discussion, “Pat” admitted that his main concern was not whether or not he was sinning, or whether or not his union with his current lover was accepted by God or the Church.
