lifestyles of Israeli homosex-
uals and drug users. Gays
tend to be less cohesive as a
social group (bisexuality, for
example, is more common
than in the U.S. or Europe)
and are more likely to be in-
volved in serial long-term re-
lationships (as are young Is-
raelis in general).
Intravenous drug use is
less common than inhaling or
smoking drugs, thus lowering
the risk of shared needles.
As in the rest of the world,
however, AIDS in Israel has
spread well beyond the orig-
inally high-risk groups.
There was a precipitate
rise of 300 percent in the
number of carriers in 1991-
92 alone. Part of that increase
is attributed to the arrival of
new immigrants carrying the
virus (some 2.5 percent of the
Ethiopians, for example, were
found to be carriers or al-
ready suffering from AIDS).
But there has also been a
dramatic increase among na-
tive Israelis, with the ratio of
infected women soaring from
1 woman for every 15 men in
1986 to 1:2 in 1992. And de-
spite their conservative
lifestyle (by Western stan-
dards), even the Palestinians
have been afflicted by the
scourge.
In fact, the prevalence of
the AIDS virus in the blood
bank of the West Bank and
Gaza Strip is similar to that
in Israel, and 13 percent of
the carriers who have been
detected through the Hadas-
sah clinic are Palestinians.
Despite these trends, how-
ever, Israel's government con-
tinues to downplay the
impact of. AIDS and still
treats it as primarily as an
imported problem. The inte-
rior ministry has made HIV
checks conditional for new
immigrants, foreign workers,
and others applying for tem-
porary-residence visas.
A Health Ministry pam-
phlet on practicing safer sex
is distributed at the airport
for departing Israelis, but no
parallel literature is pub-
lished for their compatriots
remaining at home. In fact,
three-quarters of the min-
istry's annual $1 million bud-
get for AIDS is spent on
screening kits, leaving pre-
cious little for serious educa-
tional programs.
That leaves most of the ed-
ucational work to private bod-
ies such as the Israel AIDS
Task Force, a nonprofit orga-
nization that operates out of
a one-room office in a seedy
Tel Aviv neighborhood. Built
around a core of 100 dedicat-
ed members and volunteers,
the Task Force publishes ed-
ucational pamphlets (in He-
brew, Russian, and Arabic),
