Fix this textHIV-the'good'
Fix this textand'bad'virus?
Fix this textTHE fact that there are
Fix this textcases of people with
Fix this textlong-term HIV infection
Fix this textwho have as yet ex-
Fix this texthibited no AIDS symp-
Fix this texttoms may have more to
Fix this textdo with the existence of a
Fix this textless virulent, or even be-
Fix this textnign, strain of the virus
Fix this textthan the genetic makeup
Fix this textor physical health of the
Fix this textperson.
Fix this textThis is suggested by the re-
Fix this textsults of a study conducted by
Fix this textthe NSW Red Cross Blood
Fix this textTransfusion Service and the
Fix this textNational Centre in HIV Epi-
Fix this textdemiology and Clinical Re-
Fix this textsearch at UNSW. The study is
Fix this textreported in the October issue of
Fix this textThe Lancet.
Fix this text“Over 10 years, 50 per cent of
Fix this textpeople with HIV infection de-
Fix this textvelop AIDS and many of those
Fix this textdie,” according to Senior Pro-
Fix this textject Scientist with the National
Fix this textCentre for HIV, Mr Brett Tin-
Fix this textdall. “But we don’t know if the
Fix this textrate increases to 100 per cent as
Fix this texttime goes by or if some of those
Fix this textinfected will remain healthy
Fix this textand survive. And are the
Fix this textpeople who are surviving doing
Fix this textso because of their particular
Fix this textphysical makeup or because of
Fix this textsomething to do with the
Fix this textvirus?”
Fix this textThe research team was able
Fix this textto review tire question by look-
Fix this texting at the registry of people
Fix this textknown to have acquired HIV
Fix this textinfection through transfusion
Fix this textof blood in NSW and then fol-
Fix this textlowing up on those cases.
Fix this text“We were able to identify one
Fix this textHIV-infected donor and six
Fix this textsubjects who were infected by
Fix this textblood products from him. The
Fix this textdonor and five of the recipients
Fix this textwho contracted HIV have no
Fix this textsymptoms of the disease. All
Fix this textwere infected with HIV more
Fix this textthan eight years ago and yet
Fix this textremain totally symptom-free.
Fix this textIn comparison, 50 per cent of
Fix this textthe other 112 subjects who
Fix this textwere infected in NSW at the
Fix this textsame time have developed
Fix this textAIDS and an even greater pro-
Fix this textportion have lesser symptoms
Fix this textof infection.
Fix this text“Worldwide, this is the first
Fix this textgroup of subjects which has
Fix this textbeen identified in which each
Fix this textsubject is known to have been
Fix this textinfected with the same strain of
Fix this textHIV, and in which the donor
Fix this textand all the recipients share a
Fix this textgood outcome,” Mr Tindall
Fix this textsaid.
Fix this text"Further, we had a wide
Fix this textrange of subjects. Four are men
Fix this textand three are women, and they
Fix this textare from various age groups.
Fix this textThe diversity of the subjects
Fix this textsuggests that it is their ‘com-
Fix this textmon’ virus which is the cause
Fix this textof their having remained with-
Fix this textout symptoms.
Fix this text“We were able to isolate the
Fix this textvirus from one of the subjects
Fix this textand it appears that it is not as
Fix this textvirulent as some other strains.
Fix this text“This series of cases provides
Fix this textcause for hope in an epidemic
Fix this textwhich has been so bleak.
Fix this text“It suggests that there may be
Fix this textsome people who, although in-
Fix this textfected with this virus, remain
Fix this textsymptom-free for many years
Fix this textand possibly never develop
Fix this textsymptoms of AIDS.
Fix this text“The identification of a non-
Fix this textdisease causing strain of the
Fix this textvirus may also hasten the de-
Fix this textvelopment of a safe and effec-
Fix this texttive vaccine,” he said. ■
Fix this textPhilosophy broadens its base to rural NSW
Fix this textTeachers in rural
Fix this textNSW have not been
Fix this textforgotten in the School of
Fix this textPhilosophy’s program of
Fix this textpromoting the subject to
Fix this textchildren.
Fix this textThe next phase of the already
Fix this textsuccessful program will be the
Fix this textstaging of a four-day residential
Fix this textworkshop for teachers in rural
Fix this textNSW, to be held at a central
Fix this textlocation in the State’s far-west
Fix this textin January 1993.
Fix this textThe program recently re-
Fix this textceived a welcome boost when
Fix this textDr San Mac Coll, a lecturer in
Fix this textthe School, received a grant for
Fix this text$83,595 from the NSW Educa-
Fix this texttion and Training Foundation
Fix this text(ETF) for a project titled: Phil-
Fix this textosophy in schools: Practical
Fix this textthinking and problem-solving
Fix this textskills.
Fix this textDr Mac Coll hopes the rural
Fix this textworkshops will become a regu-
Fix this textlar feature of the program, simi-
Fix this textlar to the regular two-day
Fix this textworkshops held at the Univer-
Fix this textsity. Teachers in rural areas will
Fix this textbe encouraged to attend the
Fix this textworkshops through the estab-
Fix this textlishment of ETF Scholarships.
Fix this textDr Mac Coll said the ETF
Fix this textgrant is being used for three pri-
Fix this textmary purposes; designing a
Fix this textphilosophy curriculum for Pri-
Fix this textmary schools as a follow-up to
Fix this textthe Kinder Kids Kit which was
Fix this textlaunched last year; to hold the
Fix this textresidential workshops
Fix this textfor rural teachers; and to de-
Fix this textvelop course material for the
Fix this textGraduate Certificate in Educa-
Fix this texttion Studies (Philosophy for
Fix this textTeachers) at the University of
Fix this textNew England.
Fix this textThe correspondence course,
Fix this textto begin in 1993, is based on a
Fix this textsimilar Graduate Certificate
Fix this textcourse which began at UNSW
Fix this textthis year. The UNSW course is
Fix this texta part-time postgraduate degree
Fix this textcourse for teachers.
Fix this text“Philosophy curriculums for
Fix this textchildren are taught in 30 coun-
Fix this texttries around the world,” Dr
Fix this textMac Coll said. “While there are
Fix this textinternational characteristics of
Fix this textphilosophy for children, we're
Fix this textsetting material for Australian
Fix this textschools.
Fix this text“Teachers undertaking the
Fix this textCertificate course are able to
Fix this textimplement aspects of the
Fix this textcourse while they are teach-
Fix this texting.”
Fix this textDr Mac Coll said there has
Fix this textbeen a real upsurge in interest
Fix this textfrom teachers since the incep-
Fix this texttion last year of the Philosophy
Fix this textfor Kinder Kids Kit which pro-
Fix this textvides an Australian content for
Fix this textkindergarten children based on
Fix this textAustralian children’s literature
Fix this textnormally available in school
Fix this textlibraries. She is hoping for a
Fix this textsimilar response from the phil-
Fix this textosophy curriculum she is de-
Fix this textveloping for Primary schools.
Fix this text“The Graduate Certificate
Fix this textcourse taught at UNSW uses in-
Fix this textquiry-based learning practices,
Fix this textwith a focus on classroom dis-
Fix this textcussion,” she said.
Fix this text“This develops reasoning
Fix this textskills, particularly in the areas
Fix this textof reading and oral comprehen-
Fix this textsion, conceptual analysis, im-
Fix this textaginative thinking, formulating
Fix this textand solving problems, giving
Fix this textand evaluating reasons, and es-
Fix this texttablishing sound judgment.
Fix this text“The basic assumption is
Fix this textthat children will most readily
Fix this textbecome active and skilful thin-
Fix this textkers by learning to reason
Fix this texttogether through dialogue and
Fix this textdiscussion.”
Fix this textWhat sort of philosophical
Fix this textissues do children like to dis-
Fix this textcuss? Well, they include the
Fix this textsignificance of friendship, the
Fix this textvalue of fairness, the meaning
Fix this textof goodness, the concept of re-
Fix this textality, and the nature of truth.
Fix this textFootnote: An information
Fix this textevening for prospective Grad-
Fix this textuate Certificate students for
Fix this text1993, and others interested in
Fix this textphilosophy for children, will
Fix this textbe held in Room 3 23 of the Mor-
Fix this textven Brown Building at UNSW
Fix this textfrom 5.30 pm on Monday 2 No-
