Grégoire Collet Éditeur Société L e 5 février dernier, le président Donald Trump a annoncé devant le Congrès américain un plan de santé national visant à mettre un terme à l’épidémie du VIH dans le pays. Beaucoup ont été surpris·es par la nouvelle, jugée incohérente au vu de la politique de l’administration Trump sur le Sida depuis le début du mandat. Les détails du plan D’ici 2030, l’épidémie du Sida sera éradiquée aux ÉtatsUnis. Dans les cinq prochaines années, les infections seront réduites de 75%. Dans 10 ans, de 90%. Tel est le plan annoncé sur le site du Département de la Santé et des Services sociaux des ÉtatsUnis (DHSS en anglais, ndlr), dans le programme Ending the HIV Epidemic (Mettre fin à l’épi- ropositifs ayant été les cibles de politiques du Président Trump à plusieurs reprises depuis le début de son mandat, une telle mesure interroge quant aux intentions et au réalisme de la mise en place de ce plan par Trump. Retour sur une obstination Le groupe activiste ACT UP NY, porteur du combat contre le Sida à New York depuis la fin des années 1980, a publié un communiqué exposant les politiques anti-LGBTQ+ de Trump pour pointer du doigt l’hypocrisie du président. En e et, la MaisonBlanche a annoncé en mai 2017 qu’elle couperait le budget alloué à la lutte contre le Sida au sein du pays ainsi qu’à l’international. Ces coupes budgétaires ont été accompagnées, en décembre de la même année, du renvoi des membres bénévoles du PACHA (Conseil Présidentiel sur le VIH/Sida en français, ndlr), tra- pos de son gouvernement doivent être tenus responsables du climat dans lequel les personnes séropositives évoluent. En e et, un enjeu fondamental de la lutte contre le Sida est le problème de la stigmatisation des personnes infectées. Les racines de cette méfiance se trouvent bien sûr déjà dans la peur de la maladie, beaucoup associant le Sida à des images de grande sou rance et de violences subies par les corps séropositifs. De plus, la maladie étant souvent associée à quelque chose d’exclusivement réservé aux hommes homosexuels, certains discours autour de la maladie sont empreints d’homophobie. Par ailleurs, cette stigmatisation est dangereuse pour la santé mentale et physique des personnes infectées, n’osant parfois pas en parler ou même entreprendre les démarches pour aller se faire soigner. Elle entraîne aussi une discrimination sur les lieux de tra- « La trahison du gouvernement américain vis-à-vis de ses citoyen·ne·s séropositif·ve·s a créé une fissure di cilement réparable » démie du VIH en français, ndlr). Depuis 1981, année de début de l’épidémie du VIH dans le pays, plus de 700 000 personnes sont décédées de la maladie. La grande démocratisation du préservatif et la terreur provoquée durant l’épidémie ont grandement réduit le nombre de cas d’infections au fil des années. Cependant, on évalue à 40 000 le nombre de nouvelles infections chaque année dans le pays. Deux tiers de ces infections touchent les hommes gays et bisexuels, et les communautés marginalisées et racisées restent encore les plus susceptibles de contracter le virus. Les corps sé- 10 société vaillant avec chaque président depuis 1995. De plus, en 2018, l’administration américaine a relevé deux membres de l’armée de l’air de leurs fonctions après que ceux-ci ont confié leur statut séropositif. La liste est longue, et les premier·ère·s à sou rir de ces décisions sont les personnes infectées par le VIH où à risque de le devenir. La haine et la méfiance envers les communautés marginalisées ont gagné une partie de la sphère politique et médiatique du pays avec l’arrivée de Trump à la MaisonBlanche : les politiques et les pro- vail et un phénomène d’exclusion pouvant s’étendre aux sphères plus personnelles des séropositif·ve·s. Plus important encore, la stigmatisation des personnes atteintes du virus crée une anxiété généralisée quant au fait même de se faire dépister, certain·e·s préférant ne pas connaître leur statut plutôt que de se savoir malade. De plus, l’ignorance encore répandue face à la maladie et de sa transmission est, il semblerait, due aux cours d’éducation sexuelle dispensés dans les écoles du territoire américain. En e et, les nouvelles générations, n’ayant pas grandi dans le tumulte de la crise, ne sont pas toutes au courant des conditions de transmission et des comportements sexuels à risque. La stigmatisation est un sujet critique dans la lutte contre le VIH/Sida, et le rôle que le gouvernement a de protéger ses citoyen·ne·s séropositif·ive·s et de sensibiliser sa population n’a pas été respecté par l’administration de Trump. se sont exprimés dans divers médias, dénonçant une « censure scientifique ». Cette nouvelle fut reçue avec désarroi et colère par un grand nombre d’activistes LGBTQ+, s’insurgeant du manque de transparence de l’administration et de son écoute sans limites des voix conservatrices. Qui Trump écoute-t-il? De telles actions sont très violentes envers les corps touchés par le virus et la maladie, et marginalisent les voix séropositives avec une vigueur inquiétante. La perception collective du Sida et la recherche pour mettre un terme à la propagation du VIH sont deux piliers essentiels de la lutte contre le virus et la maladie. Le président Trump a jusque-là échoué sur les deux plans, son ignorance et son intolérance se traduisant sans relâche dans la politique de son administration. À cette stigmatisation se conjugue la pression de groupes d’intérêts religieux et conservateurs, exerçant leurs forces sur le sujet depuis l’apparition du virus aux États-Unis. Les recherches scientifiques pour le traitement du Sida et pour un éventuel vaccin pour le VIH se sont appuyées notamment sur l’utilisation de tissu fœtal, tissu extrait de fœtus avortés. Dans le cadre de ces expériences, les tissus sont gre és à des souris afin de comprendre la propagation très rapide du virus dans le corps. Beaucoup de scientifiques soutiennent l’absolue nécessité de l’utilisation de ces tissus, essentielle pour la bonne conduite et l’e cacité de la recherche, qui était la plus prometteuse pour l’obtention d’un potentiel traitement. Toutefois, l’élection de Trump a donné une tribune plus importante aux groupes anti-avortement, qui se sont empressés de dénoncer plus vigoureusement cette pratique scientifique. Ainsi, début décembre, il a été découvert que le gouvernement américain avait interrompu au moins un processus de recherche utilisant ces tissus, en réaction aux pressions des groupes anti-avortement. Les scientifiques concernés, qui se sont vus interdire par le gouvernement d’évoquer l’interruption de leur recherche, Comment faire sens de ce plan? Néanmoins, à l’annonce du plan de santé du gouvernement, les échos sont assez positifs, et nous pouvons nous réjouir d’une telle perspective. Cependant, la trahison du gouvernement américain vis-à-vis de ses citoyen·ne·s séropositif·ve·s a créé une fissure di cilement réparable. Ignorer les sensibilités et l’aspect identitaire du combat qu’est la lutte contre le VIH/Sida, c’est ignorer une majeure partie du problème. Éradiquer le Sida est di cilement concevable sans action radicale, et ce d’autant plus dans un climat où les communautés LGBTQ+ sont activement ostracisées et discriminées par le gouvernement républicain de Trump. Le plan Ending the HIV Epidemic est ambitieux, mais il faudra attendre de voir sa mise en place concrète pour saluer celui qui en a donné l’ordre. x le délit · mardi 19 février 2019 · delitfrancais.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This event was the first of its kind at McGill, and was led by sex educators from AIDS Community Care Montreal (ACCM), a volunteerbased, community organization founded in 1987 whose aim, according to the organization’s mission statement, is “to enhance the quality of life of people living with HIV/ AIDS, to prevent HIV transmission, and to promote community awareness and action.” In 2007, a team of ACCM volunteers began the process of creating and assembling a Teacher Toolkit, which provides teacher-friendly sex education curricula, including lesson plans and multimedia resources designed with Quebec’s current education program in mind. Since October 2010, ACCM has expanded its services and has been training teachers in teaching sex education. The ACCM Teacher Toolkit, along with other similar community-based sex education programs, such as Montreal’s Head and Hands “Sense Project,” speak to the need for increased discussion and dissemination of knowledge and information over this sensitive topic. The issue has become increasingly salient since Quebec’s education reform in 2005, when sex education was removed from the province’s curriculum. “The idea [behind the reform] was that [sex education] would become a more holistic process, and would be infused throughout Tom the entire curriculum,” explained Lisa Trimble, a McGill instructor and sex education researcher. “The problem is that it is optional, and teachers are not given any training, resources, or support to teach sex education.” Furthermore, the Ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir, et du Sports (MELS) indicates that it is now the responsibility of all teachers to “ensure that students develop a sense of responsibility for adopting good habits with respect to health, safety, and sexuality.” Additionally, with the increasing predominance of sexually-transmitted infections, teen pregnancies, and bullying targeted on youth of various sexual orientations, “youth are on the frontlines,” commented Amanda Unruh, McGill’s Health Promotion Coordinator. “The need for quality sex education is clear.” This need has been met by community organizations, such as ACCM, which Trimble explained, “work with schools and other youth community organizations to get sex positive [and] queer positive sexual education workshops, based [on] a harm reduction philosophy, and youth empowerment praxis out to Montreal youth.” While these services have been effective in dealing BOOSTER SHOT Alcohol medication gets discriminatory Results of a recent study conducted at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre indicate that naltrexon – one of the few medications effective used in the treatment of alcohol abuse – may only be effective in women and those with a specific gene, the mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1). Alcohol stimulates the release of endorphins in the brain, which bind to opioid receptors, a kind of specialized protein. The activation of these opioid receptors creates feelings of euphoria and pleasure, the same experienced in drunkenness. Naltrexone blocks the receptors and thus decreases the euphoric effects of alcohol. OPRM1 plays a crucial role because it affects the sensitivity of the receptor to the pleasurable effects of alcohol and the ability of naltrexone to diminish these effects, said Marco Leyton of McGill’s department of Psychiatry, the head investigator of the study. However, researchers are as of yet unsure as to why the drug is so effective in women, despite the fact that not all women have the OPRM1 gene. The benefit of these results is clear: “It will help us give the right medication to the right people,” said Leyton. There is a possibility that further research could lead to a new drug that is effective for everyone, but “since there are probably many pathways that lead to alcoholism, there are probably also multiple treatments that will be needed,” he explained. Moreover, he does not advise that people currently taking naltrexone stop taking it until they have consulted their doctor. The results will be published in the June 2011 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. — Veronica Winslow er | A ck M The c Gi ll D aily with the questions, concerns, and curiosities of young people, Trimble added that “youth in Montreal have consistently called for more sex education and more access to conversations about emotions, pleasure, desire, and identities.” Yet while MELS has given teachers the responsibility to educate youth about sexuality, they have not provided teachers with a standard sex education curriculum that would provide the tools, information, and training to teach the subject matter with confidence and ease. Marla Schreiber, ACCM’s Teacher Toolkit Coordinator and sex educator summed up teachers’ apprehensions well: “it’s one thing if you fumble a date in history… If you make a mistake in sex ed, there can be dire consequences.” Unruh was involved in the initial development of ACCM’s Teacher Toolkit in 2007, and emphasized that “not everyone is comfortable talking about sex. How can they be if they were never trained to do it? An English teacher wouldn’t be expected to teach Math without being knowledgeable in the field.” The reform has asked teachers to do just that. Though the Teacher Toolkit is a positive move in the right direction, Unruh highlighted the fact that the training is about two to four hours long, which may not be comprehensive. Robert Beaudry, a third-year Education student who attended the training event on March 16 echoed this concern: “I thought I knew everything, and I realized I didn’t, which is gratifying. But I also learned that this should actually constitute a full semester course, as part of the McGill Bachelor of Education.” While at present neither the province nor the university offer teachers standardized training in the subject of sex education, Fiona Benson, Director of the Office of Student Teaching at McGill, assured that she has been “trying for some time to organize a MELS-led workshop for faculty [at McGill]. I am hopeful that this will come about in the fall.” As evinced by the attendance at the ACCM teacher training, preservice teachers are demanding training and taking their education into their own hands. Though a sex education course is not presently offered, teachers can become aware of available training. As Schreiber emphasized, “you don’t need to be an expert. There is a universe of support out there.” Go to mcgilldaily.com for Melanie Kim’s article on the BCG World Atlas and McGill’s step toward curing tuberculosis � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The results will be published in the June 2011 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. — Veronica Winslow er | A ck M The c Gi ll D aily with the questions, concerns, and curiosities of young people, Trimble added that “youth in Montreal have consistently called for more sex education and more access to conversations about emotions, pleasure, desire, and identities.” Yet while MELS has given teachers the responsibility to educate youth about sexuality, they have not provided teachers with a standard sex education curriculum that would provide the tools, information, and training to teach the subject matter with confidence and ease. Marla Schreiber, ACCM’s Teacher Toolkit Coordinator and sex educator summed up teachers’ apprehensions well: “it’s one thing if you fumble a date in history… If you make a mistake in sex ed, there can be dire consequences.” Unruh was involved in the initial development of ACCM’s Teacher Toolkit in 2007, and emphasized that “not everyone is comfortable talking about sex. How can they be if they were never trained to do it? An English teacher wouldn’t be expected to teach Math without being knowledgeable in the field.” The reform has asked teachers to do just that. Though the Teacher Toolkit is a positive move in the right direction, Unruh highlighted the fact that the training is about two to four hours long, which may not be comprehensive. Robert Beaudry, a third-year Education student who attended the training event on March 16 echoed this concern: “I thought I knew everything, and I realized I didn’t, which is gratifying. But I also learned that this should actually constitute a full semester course, as part of the McGill Bachelor of Education.” While at present neither the province nor the university offer teachers standardized training in the subject of sex education, Fiona Benson, Director of the Office of Student Teaching at McGill, assured that she has been “trying for some time to organize a MELS-led workshop for faculty [at McGill]. I am hopeful that this will come about in the fall.” As evinced by the attendance at the ACCM teacher training, preservice teachers are demanding training and taking their education into their own hands. Though a sex education course is not presently offered, teachers can become aware of available training. As Schreiber emphasized, “you don’t need to be an expert. There is a universe of support out there.” Go to mcgilldaily.com for Melanie Kim’s article on the BCG World Atlas and McGill’s step toward curing tuberculosis � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

La loi criminelle canadienne autour du VIH provoque plus de mal que de bien. magdalena morales Le Délit C écile Kazatchkine, analyste politique et membre du Réseau juridique Canadien VIH/SIDA, a tenu une conférence le 18 février à l’Université Concordia. Abordant le thème controversé de la non-divulgation du VIH, elle a expliqué son point de vue à un public composé d’étudiants, de professeurs et de personnes atteintes du virus. Dimension scientifique Le sida (syndrome d’immunodéficience acquise, ndlr) est la phase terminale du VIH (Virus de l’Immunodéficience Humaine, ndlr), maladie transmissible sexuellement, par voie sanguine et de la mère à l’enfant, qui cause la destruction du système immunitaire. La personne séropositive ne succombe donc pas à la maladie à proprement parler, mais plutôt à des maladies dites «opportunistes». Ces maladies, généralement la tuberculose ou les candidoses, vont attaquer le porteur en l’absence de défense de la part de l’organisme, signant sa sentence de mort. Heureusement, les recherches dans le milieu scientifique ont progressé depuis plusieurs années. Le premier traitement étant apparu en 1996, il est aujourd’hui possible de médicamenter la personne séropositive, contrôlant et transformant ainsi la condition fatale en une maladie chronique. Ce contrôle est e ectué à travers l’estimation de la charge virale du patient (c’est-à-dire l’évaluation de la quantité du virus dans le sang) et sert d’indicatif du risque de contamination. Lorsque la charge virale est indétectable, donc nulle, le patient pose un risque quasi nul de contamination à son partenaire sexuel. Jumelé à un port du préservatif, l’usage de médicaments prévient alors e cacement la transmission du virus. Plus de 70 scientifiques canadiens s’étant penchés sur la question ont ainsi signé un consensus sur les risques de transmission du sida en 2014, prouvant ces affirmations. Dimension juridique Pourtant, au Canada, une personne séropositive ne divulguant pas son état à son partenaire sexuel peut être poursuivie au cri- minel. Classée dans la même catégorie que les délinquants sexuels haineux, la non-divulgation du VIH est traitée comme une agression sexuelle grave, impliquant un sérieux «handicap à la vie». La peine maximale encourue est la perpétuité et la poursuite peut prendre place même si le virus n’a pas été transmis. Cécile Kazatchkine, pour sa part, juge la décision de la Cour suprême de criminaliser la nondivulgation injuste. Soutenant que la loi ne prend pas en compte les circonstances auxquelles font souvent face les personnes séropositives, elle milite pour la décriminalisation. À l’aide de plusieurs exemples d’histoires vécues, elle a souligné les failles du processus de condamnation. L’un des exemples les plus frappants est celui d’une femme séropositive, qui vit avec son conjoint depuis plusieurs années et qui a un fils avec lui. Subissant plusieurs abus physiques et psychologiques de la part de l’homme, elle le quitte pour ensuite être poursuivie, à sa plus grande surprise, au criminel. Son conjoint, soutenant qu’elle ne lui avait pas divulgué sa séropositivité lors de leurs premiers rapports sexuels, gagne le procès, l’envoyant derrière les barreaux. Cependant, aucune contamination n’avait eu lieu durant leur relation, donc aucun handicap à vie — élément qui est pourtant essentiel lors d’une condamnation d’agression sexuelle grave. Néanmoins, cette femme a tout de même vu son nom être inscrit dans le registre national des délinquants sexuels. Ces cas de vengeance, courants selon Kazatchkine, encouragent à réfléchir quant à l’injustice que pose le processus de condamnation. Depuis la criminalisation en 1998, 181 personnes ont été poursuivies, contribuant ainsi à la stigmatisation des personnes séropositives dans la société. Même si les opinions divergent au sein de la société, la décriminalisation de la non-divulgation du VIH est de mise selon Kazatchkine. Le traitement du VIH au niveau juridique doit suivre les avancées scientifiques qui n’en font plus une maladie mortelle. En attendant que des changements soient apportés au sein de la loi canadienne, le travail de sensibilisation à la réalité des porteurs du virus est crucial pour contrer l’e et stigmatisant de la loi. x Favoriser les transports en commun semble bien entendu aller de soi comme objectif noble et indiscutable à brandir en cas de campagne électorale. Tous les politiciens s’en targuent, mais bien peu agissent positivement à cet égard, plutôt que de tenter de contraindre les gens à utiliser un service peu attrayant. Un habitant de Blainville doit aujourd’hui débourser 197 dollars mensuellement pour un titre de transport train-autobus-métro. Ces tarifs sont prohibitifs considérant que l’organisation urbaine des banlieues y rend l’automobile indispensable. Il faut améliorer l’offre du train de banlieue, mais cela nécessite des investissements et une grande volonté politique. Il faut donc que le projet transcende son objectif primaire si on le veut viable et politiquement attrayant. nations respectives. Depuis plusieurs années maintenant, des ingénieurs québécois indépendants planchent sur un projet de monorail suspendu à grande vitesse (250 km/h) utilisant la technologie du moteur-roue développée par l’ingénieur Pierre Couture et Hydro-Québec en 1994. Il s’agit d’un projet 100% québécois, innovateur, axé vers l’optimisation du transport et le développement durable. À la recherche de financement et d’intérêt gouvernemental pour la construction d’un banc d’essai, les gérants de ce projet sont aujourd’hui bloqués. À quand, donc, un réel désir d’innovation de la part de nos élus en matière de transport en commun? À quand la fin des locomotives diesel sur les lignes du train de banlieue et la remise en opération de l’aéroport de Mirabel et sa liaison directe et rapide avec le centre-ville par monorail? À quand la mise sur pieds à l’échelle métropolitaine de ce projet unique, écologique et exportable à travers la modernisation des lignes de trains de banlieue? Des ingénieurs d’ici en rêvent. Il serait peut-être temps de leur donner leur chance. x chronique Longue est la route David Leroux | Espaces Politiques L a semaine dernière au travers des nouvelles flamboyantes concernant la venue de Ban Ki-moon et la transformation de Philippe Couillard en grand défenseur des écosystèmes insulaires du golfe du Saint-Laurent, faisait timidement sa place une nouvelle d’importance pour la communauté étudiante québécoise présente et à venir. Un amendement au projet de loi 76 sur le transport en commun demandant l’abolition de la limite d’âge pour profiter du tarif étudiant à l’achat de titres de la Société de Transport de Montréal (STM) était déposé à l’Assemblée Nationale. L’amendement fut unanimement entériné. L’adoption du projet de loi consacrera cette initiative qui entrera en vigueur dès la mise sur pieds de la nouvelle Autorité régionale des transports métropolitains. Il s’agit d’un pas de géant pour la promotion du transport en commun dans la métropole qui donnera, qui plus est, un sérieux coup de pouce aux étudiants de plus de 25 ans. Réjouissons-nous! Dans une ville telle que Montréal, toute mesure rendant plus accessible et attrayante l’utilisation du réseau de transport en commun doit être dûment célébrée. Elle doit aussi servir d’autre part à nous rappeler que la route est encore longue et qu’énormément de volonté politique sera nécessaire afin de soulager les artères routières métropolitaines de leur congestion polluante et chronophage. Problèmes périphériques L’irrigation du centre-ville par le système de transport en commun se porte plutôt bien, mis à part les problèmes tech- le délit · mardi 23 février 2016 · delitfrancais.com niques affligeant le fonctionnement du métro. Les horaires d’autobus sont généreux en passages et, sans être parfaits, sont généralement bien adaptés aux périodes d’achalandage propres à chaque circuit. La congestion routière, pourtant, demeure et nous force à constater que beaucoup des visiteurs du centre-ville ne profitent pas des réseaux offerts par l’Agence Métropolitaine de Transport (AMT). D’où viennent ces véhicules? Il suffit d’écouter Luc Ferrandez, maire du Plateau Mont-Royal et grand chevalier en croisade contre l’automobile, pour avoir notre réponse. Ferrandez a en effet orienté la plupart de son œuvre politique autour du thème suivant: rendre pénible l’utilisation de l’automobile sur le Plateau pour ceux qui y transitent quotidiennement. Bien qu’on puisse légitimement sourciller devant le négativisme de ses politiques, il a le mérite de cerner le problème de la congestion à Montréal: la circulation émanant de la périphérie et se servant des rues de la ville pour se rendre au travail. Rapprocher ce qui est loin L’idée de «rapprocher ce qui est loin» par l’entremise du transport n’est pas une idée nouvelle au Canada et au Québec, les grandes distances ayant toujours été un enjeu majeur de nos actualités 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
