233,000 Americans May Unknowingly Have HIV
An estimated 233,000 Americans are unaware that they are infected with HIV, an HIV research cooperative has announced. Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's call to routinely test everyone between the ages of 13 and 64, more than 20 percent of the approximately 1.1 million Americans with the virus are unaware they have it.Members of the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research, based at the George Washington University School of Public Health, made the announcement at a forum meeting in Arlington, Va.
The lack of routine testing presents a major health hazard: People who are unaware that they are HIV-positive may be responsible for up to 70% of new sexually transmitted infections, the Baltimore Sun reports.(the Advocate)

Rosie's Varity Show Flops
Rosie O'Donnell gave NBC a real turkey.The network's attempt to revive the primetime variety show failed to draw an audience Wednesday night, tying for the evening's lowest-rated program.
A mere 5 million viewers tuned in for the 8 p.m. premiere of "Rosie Live," with the program earning a 1.2 preliminary adults 18-49 rating. The telecast matched ABC's recently canceled "Pushing Daisies" as the night's lowest-rated program on a major broadcast network.
NBC had high hopes for the special and planned to expand the program into a series should viewers re-embrace the decades-old variety format. Other networks, too, were watching closely since several are developing variety shows of their own.(keep reading)

Alex Rodriguez Front Row at Madonna Concert
Was that the look of love Madonna and Alex Rodriguez were beaming at each other Wednesday night?It sure looked like it to some folks at Madge's Sticky & Sweet concert at Dolphin Stadium in Miami.
As A-Rod sat in a front row between Rod Stewart and his amour's manager, Guy Oseary, Madge fixed her gaze on him and sang, "You Must Love Me."
He smiled at her, and the Material Girl got all teary-eyed.
Many in the crowd nodded knowingly when, before her rendition of "I'm So Far Away," she told fans, "I'm sure you can relate about a long-distance love affair."
In a couple of hotter moments, Madge gyrated in A-Rod's direction while winking at him and later went pneumatic on a speaker while staring his way.(keep reading)

Miami Judge Rules Against Florida Gay Adoption Ban
A judge on Tuesday ruled that a strict Florida law that blocks gay people from adopting children is unconstitutional, declaring there was no legal or scientific reason for sexual orientation alone to prohibit anyone from adopting.Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman said the 31-year-old law violates equal protection rights for the children and their prospective gay parents, rejecting the state's arguments that there is "a supposed dark cloud hovering over homes of homosexuals and their children."
She noted that gay people are allowed to be foster parents in Florida. "There is no rational basis to prohibit gay parents from adopting," she wrote in a 53-page ruling.
Florida is the only state with an outright ban on gay adoption. Arkansas voters last month approved a measure similar to a law in Utah that bans any unmarried straight or gay couples from adopting or fostering children. Mississippi bans gay couples, but not single gays, from adopting.(keep reading)
