Statement A: Dr. Meadows is correct. We need to start with the least invasive approaches, such as awareness campaigns. Abstinence campaigns also present no cost to personal liberties, and should be part of that plan. There is no question that abstinence works; no sex means no sexually transmitted disease. The last thing we want to do is to encourage even more promiscuity than already exists.
Statement B: I agree with Dr. Meadows. We have to address this problem in terms of tackling the supply chain problem and getting more condoms out to more people. There is a real difficulty in getting people to change long-held beliefs that prevent them from seeing that condom distribution is ethical. HIV education, condom availability, and voluntary testing should lead the charge here. And we should always first consider testing programs that we can implement with the least possible harm to personal freedoms, such as using codes rather than names to identify patients in order to keep their health information private and protected.
Statement C: The likelihood that our recommendation will alter the Catholic Church's position is close to nil. We can hope the church will embrace a more liberal policy with regard to condom distribution, but we can't make "hope" an ethical position. We should start a campaign to support the use of condoms and make it known to the public and to those who donate a charities. People should not donate to charitable groups with religious dictates that serve as public health impediments.
Statement D: Dr. Williams is right. Testing is too important to ignore. Keeping testing voluntary will mean that the people who need to be tested the most will avoid being tested out of fear of the stigma associated with the disease. Some things come at a price, and mandatory testing is the price we must pay to ensure a healthier population moving forward.

HIV/ AIDS Scenario and Reflection
Write your introduction. Tell us what the paper is about. Provide a solid paragraph. If you
use any sources here, be sure to cite them. The correct citations for the resources I have provided
below are: (Pence, 2021) or (Pence, 2021, p. #) if you are quoting for the textbook. For the
presentation, the correct citations are: (Instructor last name, n.d.) if you are not quoting. You
must include a timestamp in the citation when quoting the video (Instructor last name, n.d., 1:21)
if the quote starts one minute and 21 seconds into the video. The video doesn’t provide a
timeline, so you have to time it yourself. I suggest always paraphrasing rather than quoting. If
you use more than one video from the class, then you must distinguish between in your paper.
Put the sources in alphabetical order (as I have here) and use n.d.-a, n.d.-b, etc. in citations. If
you only use one video, only use n.d. (not n.d.-a, n.d.-b, etc.). Use your instructor’s name for any
class videos or PowerPoints that you use/cite.
The second paragraph should cover how you feel about the topic and why. Consider the
following questions. Did you have any views on the issue prior to viewing the scenario? If so,
what were they? Did they change over the course of listening to the arguments? If so, how?
The third paragraph should cover which of the four responses offered in the scenario,
which do you think is the most ethical and why. This is where you need to be sure to support
your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, including a minimum
of one theory of ethics (Care Ethics, Virtue Ethics, Kantian Ethics, Social Contract Ethics
[Hobbes, Rousseau or Rawls version of the Social Contract], Act Utilitarianism, or Rule
Utilitarianism [not just utilitarianism – this is wrong] to defend your stance. Refer back to the
material covered in Week 1.
3
The last paragraph is your conclusion. Tell us what you learned and how this experience
might have changed or informed your stance on the topic. While you don’t necessarily need to
refer to research here, supporting your opinion with credible sources (proving you have made an
informed opinion) is best. Remember that your final paper must be 1-2 pages long.
