This paper looked into the abuse of inhalable nitrites, mainly amyl nitrites, commonly known by the street name of poppers. This paper compiled several studies of nitrite inhalant abuse and the risk associated with the sexual practices that may concur. The paper explores first, the history and true intentions of nitrite inhalants, then the increasing abuse mainly within the homosexual community, and the legitimacy of the link of nitrites and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.  Various studies discussed in the paper will show that there is no legitimate link between poppers increasing the chance of HIV/AIDS but it is the unsafe sexual practices that occur with poppers that lead to various sexually transmitted diseases. The dangers of inhalable nitrites come from legal loopholes, use with other drugs such as Viagra, and the nature of unsafe sexual practices mostly within the homosexual community.

The issue of homosexuality brings about various viewpoints that are controversial from any aspect. In terms of health, for example, many people link homosexuality as being the cause of the spread of HIV/AIDS, even though homosexuals themselves do not accept this accusation. In this article, Budi Wahyuni endeavours to look more "fairly" at this issue. According to her, HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases are caused by unsafe sexual practices. Among those sexual acts vulnerable to the spread of sexually trans mitted diseases are oral sex, anal sex and masturbation, whether they are done by homosexuals or heterosexuals.

No longer a disease exclusively of homosexual men, HIV/AIDS is increasingly prevalent in women and children, especially among the poor. The social and cultural patterns associated with the disease in this population are very different than they are among homosexual men, as are many of the measures needed to address the problems of those infected. Substantial bureaucracies already provide services to poor women, and newly created AIDS agencies are adding women to their rolls. But the professionals who work within these institutions are dealing less with a new disease than with an old problem, namely, how to provide care to a population already afflicted by poverty, racism, sexism, drugs, sexually transmitted diseases, and other problems.

Abstract Background Given the devastating mortality and morbidity associated with HIV/AIDS, many potential prevention measures against HIV infection continue to be explored. Most prevention methods are in the realm of sexual behavior change. However, of all aspects of human behavior, it is sexual behavior that is least amenable to change. Newer and simpler interventions are therefore required. Male circumcision, the surgical removal of some or all of the foreskin (or prepuce) from the penis, is one of the ways being promoted as a preventive measure. This paper reviews the scientific basis and evidence for the efficacy of male circumcision within the context of the global challenges involved. Main body We reviewed articles with emphasis on male circumcision and HIV/AIDS transmission. Published abstracts of presentations at international scientific meetings were also reviewed. Conclusions Current epidemiological evidence supports the promotion of male circumcision for HIV prevention, especially in populations with high HIV prevalence and low circumcision rates. Three notable randomized control trials strengthen the case for applied research studies to demonstrate that safe male circumcision is protective at the population level, particularly as ideal and well-resourced conditions of a randomized trial are often not replicated in other service delivery settings. Ethically and culturally responsive strategies in promoting circumcision in a culturally heterogenous world need to be developed, too. Male circumcision should also be viewed as a complementary measure along with other proven approaches to turn the HIV/AIDS epidemic around.
