Snake on the staff of Aesculapius - Snake on the staff of Aesculapius - Symbol Modern MedicineSymbol Modern Medicine

Aesculapius is the god of medicine and healing in ancient Greek mythology. He was the son of Apollo and Coronis. His mother was killed for being unfaithful to Apollo, but the unborn child was rescued from her womb. From this he received the name Asklepios "to cut open." Asclepius represents the healing aspect of the medical arts, while his daughters Hygieia, Meditrina, Iaso, Aceso, Aglæa/Ægle and Panacea (literally, "all-healing") symbolize the forces of cleanliness, medicine, and healing, respectively.

What is the relationship between HIV/AIDS prevalence in the adult (15-49 years) population and modern contraceptive prevalence (condom use) in Sub-Saharan Africa?

What is the relationship between maternal mortality, HIV/AIDS prevalence and modern contraceptive prevalence?

Definitions: MMRDefinitions: MMRMaternal mortality ratio (MMR) is defined as the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.

Estimated number of deaths to women while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration or the site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidents.

Definitions: Contraceptive Definitions: Contraceptive PrevalencePrevalence

Contraceptive prevalence is the percentage of women of reproductive age (15-49) who are using (or whose partner is using) a contraceptive modern method (for example condoms) at a particular point in time.

Proportion of adults (15-49 years) living with HIV/AIDS (%): Estimated percentage of the adult population aged 15-49 living with HIV/AIDS.

To calculate the adult HIV prevalence rate, the estimated number of adults aged 15-49 living with HIV/AIDS in 2005 was divided by the 2005 adult population aged 15-49.

MMR and Contraceptive UseMMR and Contraceptive Use

For MMR of 500 per 100,000, African countries would need to increase modern contraceptive use by 50%, which will in turn increase HIV/AIDS prevalence by 35% (Figure 1, red arrow).

Page 34: Theology and Economics of Abortion and Contraception: Science of Gender Complementarity

We could decrease maternal mortality ratio by 50% (MMR = 500) by

raising the standard of living in Africa.

Page 35: Theology and Economics of Abortion and Contraception: Science of Gender Complementarity

MMR and Per Capita IncomeMMR and Per Capita Income

A rise in per capita income to USD $3,400 would reduce MMR to about 500 per 100,000 in Africa (Figure 3, red arrow).

However, for every percent rise in abortion rate, the people of Europe lost an income of $1,057.6 USD. Countries in Eastern Europe, with over 40% abortion rate had less than $10000 USD in per capita income (Fig 5, small red arrow).While mainly, Western European countries, with abortion rate below 20%, had per capitaincome of above $30,000 USD (Fig 5, big red arrow).

Wealth Creation and AbortionWealth Creation and Abortion
