My comments to this article:

I'm just wondering then, how so much HIV is spreading so rapidly among straight populations?

Promiscuous sex with multiple sex partners. BBC News
What are "multiple sex partners"? Having more than one partner. Usually in the form of:

• Infidelity - Having sex with someone other than your lover.
• Adultery - Having sex with someone other than your spouse.
• Bisexual sex - Having sex with both men and women (includes "three-somes" and orgies.
• Transgendered sex - Having sex with those of the same sex who are undergoing transition into the opposite sex.

In all these cases, the sexual partner (at the time of sex) could be carrying HIV and did not disclose that information to the "straight person" (per se) or did not know they had HIV because they did not get tested in spite of their sexually active lifestyle.

Adultery:

AIDS IN BRAZILIn fact, I was told by an AIDS physician that the fastest growing risk group in the country is now married straight women. Upon my asking why this is so, she told me that single women are insisting on "safe sex" (they buy condoms if they can afford them) but married women aren't, although their husbands often engaged in high-risk behaviors out-side the marriage, including bisexuality.

Most sexually active folks do not get tested because of fear, for one. The anxiety of waiting for the test results is too much to think about. There are other reasons as explained by Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners that can apply to all people.

A client may decide not to test because of: false information; insufficient/ inadequate pre-test counseling; lack of social support; fear of a breach of confidentiality; fear of testing procedure; fear of stigma; cultural values; a history of past or present abuse.

Page 31 of this pamphlet, Students for International Change: HIV Education and Prevention Curriculum, suggests role-playing to address the fear of getting tested.


In fact, in Africa and Asia, the majority of infectants, of which there are millions, are heterosexual and women. See below for the African study.
CHINA:
According to HIV Insite: Center for HIV information, injecting drug users count for 35-80% of those infected in Xinjiang, China & 20% in Guangdong, China. Three of China's provinces are named where "HIV gained a foothold in the early 1990s among rural people who were selling blood plasma to supplement their meager farm incomes."

UNAIDS, WHO: ASIA"A rare survey of men who have sex with men in Beijing, conducted in 2001-2002, found that approximately 3% of the men were HIV-infected (almost all of whom had been unaware of their serostatus) (Choi et al.,2003)." SCARY, they didn't know.

JAPAN:
The reason for HIV infection is not listed. Only that "There is also evidence of more widespread sexual activity among Japanese youth (reflected in the increase in the percentage of young people who have had sex by the time they turn 19 years of age)."

Papua New Guinea:
"Very low levels of condom use and wide sexual networking (amid low awareness and knowledge of HIV/AIDS) means the country could be facing a severe epidemic." [UNAIDS, Fact Sheet: Asia and the Pacific, December 2002]
Also mentioned are the sex workers and their clients: "High levels of other sexually transmitted infections indicate behavioral patterns that would also facilitate HIV transmission beyond sex workers and their clients." So in the "straight populations" I can see how the clients could give their wives and other female lovers HIV after receiving it from a sex worker.


The reason it is so common in third world countries is in large part due to the fact that there is so little availability of condoms, with little education on safe sex. Negative. Drug injection, sex workers, homosexual sex, and infidelity play the largest part according to UNAIDS, WHO. Don't sell us the lie of "little availability of condoms." I'll buy the "little education" part. Little education on HIV/AIDS and how its transmitted, that is. Nobody's really having safe sex anywhere on this planet - whether it is a third world country or not.

INDIA:
UNAIDS, WHO: ASIA "In Tamil Nadu, HIV prevalence of 50% has been found among sex workers, while in each of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Nagaland, HIV prevalence has crossed the 1% mark among pregnant women. In Manipur, meanwhile, an epidemic driven by injecting drug use has been in full swing for more than a decade and has acquired a firm presence in the wider population (UNAIDS/WHO, 2003). HIV prevalence measured at antenatal clinics in the Manipur cities of Imphal and Churachand has risen from below 1% to 5%, with many of the women testing positive appearing to be the sex partners of male drug injectors. Several factors look set to sustain Manipur's epidemic, including the large proportion (about 20%) of female sex workers who inject drugs and the young ages of many injectors (40% of male injectors surveyed in 2002 were under 25 years of age) (MAP, 2004)."


The reason it is common in Africa is in large part due to infidelity on the male's part, forced sex when he is questioned, and the inability of the woman to practice safe sex because of male coercion as this study shows:

Exploring the Association Between HIV and Violence: Young People's Experiences with Infidelity, Violence and Forced Sex in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (research article)This article examines the role violence plays in the sexual relationships of young people in Sub-Saharan Africa and its association with HIV. Men who were violent toward female partners also frequently described forced sex and sexual infidelity in these partnerships. Men with multiple concurrent sexual partners reported becoming violent when their female partners questioned their fidelity, and reported forcing regular partners to have sex when these partners resisted their sexual advances, thus the association between HIV and violence may be partially explained by these behaviors.

More about Africa and HIV infectants:

Research conducted in Soweto, South Africa, provided evidence supporting this association by finding that male partners who are abusive are more likely than those who are not to be HIV-positive. [Dunkle K et al., Gender-based violence, relationship power, and risk of HIV infection in women attending antenatal clinics in South Africa. Lancet, 2004, 363(9419):1415-1421.]
...
HIV-infected women reported significantly more sexual violence in their relationships, a larger mean number of physically violent partners in their lifetime and a larger number of physically violent episodes with their current partner.
...
A study conducted in Kigali, Rwanda, revealed that women with a history of sexual coercion were more likely than those without such a history to be HIV-positive. The study also found that violent male partners had elevated odds of being HIV-positive. [van der Straten A et al., Sexual coercion, physical violence, and HIV infection among women in steady relationships in Kigali, Rwanda, AIDS and Behavior, 1998, 2(1):61-73]
...Men in Tanzania, as in many other areas of the world, usually determine when, with whom and under what circumstances they have sex with their partners. [Creighton C and Omari C, eds., Gender, Family and Household in Tanzania, Brookfield, VT, USA: Avebury, 1995.] Most young women cannot freely choose safer sexual practices or refuse unsafe sexual activity, but instead must negotiate within unequal social relationships. [Holland J et al., The Male in the Head: Young People, Heterosexuality and Power, London: Tufnell Press, 1998.]
...
Qualitative research carried out with adolescent males in Latin America, Asia, North America and Sub-Saharan Africa suggests that attitudes that condone viewing women as sexual objects, seeing sex as performance-oriented and justifying sexual coercion as acceptable begin in adolescence. [Shephard B, Masculinity and the male role in sexual health, Planned Parenthood Challenges, 1996, 2(2):11-14]

Gay men mentality:

August 26, 1999: UNPROTECTED ANAL SEX INCREASING IN SAN FRANCISCO A study of more than 500 young gay men in San Francisco revealed that the
prevalence of unprotected anal sex rose by a third to a half in just four
years. Furthermore, about half of the men having unprotected anal sex had
partners of unknown or different HIV status. The results are published in the
current issue of the journal AIDS.
...
The researchers followed 510 gay men, aged 18 to 29, who were identified for
the San Francisco Young Men's Health Study (SFYMHS) in 1992. The participants
were tested for HIV and filled out a self-administered questionnaire on
numerous topics related to HIV and sexual behaviors during each study year
between 1993 and 1997.
...
Men who didn't know the HIV status of their partners or had a dissimilar status
were considered to be at high risk of transmission. This group made up nearly
one fourth of the total sample during the last year of the study. Compared
with men who had the same HIV status as their partners or who practiced safe
sex, the men in the high-risk group were significantly more likely to be HIV
positive, have greater numbers of sexual partners, and have more frequent sex,
said Ekstrand. In addition, only 32 percent reported having disclosed their
HIV status to all of their anal sex partners.
...
The reasons for having unprotected sex differed among the different
transmission risk groups. Men who shared the same HIV status as their partners
were significantly more likely to say they had unprotected sex because they
were in love. The high-risk group reported they had unprotected sex because
condoms were unavailable, they were turned on, or they had been drinking or
using other drugs. This group was also more likely to use nitrate inhalants,
or "poppers," to enhance their sexual experience.
...
"Sexual expression is highly valued in the gay community," said Ekstrand.
...
"Gay men might think it's not that bad to become infected with HIV these days,
but in spite of treatment advances, it's still a big deal," said Ekstrand.
"Many of these young men have a lot to lose by getting infected."

New combination therapy treatments don't work for everyone, and for some men,
they result in terrible side effects, said Ekstrand. The emergence and spread
of resistant strains of HIV is also a danger.
...
...the researchers worry that
an increase in risky sexual behavior will result in higher rates of HIV
infection. Already, several US cities have reported an increase in rectal
gonorrhea, including San Francisco.
...
"We want to go back to the community with our findings before HIV rates follow
suit," said Ekstrand. "Unless we can find ways to help gay men devise
practical and long-term HIV prevention strategies, ongoing HIV infection will
remain a permanent problem among gay male populations."

More Gay men mentality:

BBC News: Promiscuity 'fuelling HIV spread'
The UK charity Terrence Higgins Trust expressed doubts about the ABC [abstinence, being faithful, and using condoms] strategy.

"I take the idea of promoting monogamy with a large pinch of salt," said Will Nutland, its head of gay men's health promotion.

"What has worked in Uganda doesn't necessarily translate to London.

"In some societies would people really be able to implement this, where women don't necessarily have control over their sexual encounters."

Such lack of faith. Always excuses.

Apparently there is truth in this: Gay men are a higher risk catagory.

Unprotected sex is high risk sex:
Aidsmap|Unprotected Sex says even having anal sex with oil-based lubricated condoms is risky. It is also risky to use condoms that have spermicides with nonoxynol-9. Are these the first things people check in regards to their condoms (if they even choose to use one) when they are turned on, "in the heat of the moment", inflamed with passion, or drug-induced?

This same link also says that even if you're HIV-positive, taking anti-HIV drugs and have an undetectable viral load in your blood (that sounds pretty scary...gives new meaning to "are you loaded?"), then you may still have enough virus in your semen or vaginal fluids to pass on HIV. I especially like this statement:

You should also be aware that in some countries including certain states of the USA you are legally required to disclose your HIV status to sexual partners. In the UK people have been recently been sent to prison after infecting their sexual partners with HIV.

That practice should be put into place in the U.S.of A. It will cause people to take extra precautions, to think twice, to consider the cost of jail versus disclosing the information to a partner/getting checked out just in case.

As for this statement within that Aidsmap link...

There is growing evidence that it is possible to be super-infected with a new strain or strains of HIV, which may either be more aggressive than or resistant to anti-HIV drugs. This could lead to the failure of treatments that might otherwise have been effective. This applies to both men and women.

...this has already proven true here.

"This case is a wake-up call. First, it's a wake-up call to men who have sex with men, particularly those who may use crystal methamphetamine," [New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas] Frieden said in a statement.
...
"Certainly CDC is alarmed by the apparent intersection between two dangerous conditions -- multidrug resistance and apparent rapid progression," said Jessica Frickey, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention.
...
"The patient is a male in his mid-40s who reported multiple male sex partners and unprotected anal intercourse, often while using crystal methamphetamine (crystal meth). He was first diagnosed with HIV in December 2004 and appears to have been recently infected," the New York Health Department said in a statement.

The AIDS virus mutates easily and patients often develop strains that resist the drugs they are taking. Such strains of multidrug-resistant virus can also be passed to newly infected patients, and several groups have reported on HIV patients who have drug-resistant infections before they take any of the cocktails of medications used to control the virus.


Dr. Susan Little and colleagues at the University of California San Diego found in 2002 that drug-resistant HIV was affecting as many as one in five newly infected people in the United States.
...
New York officials say more than 88,000 New Yorkers are infected with the AIDS virus, which has no cure, and estimates 20,000 more are infected and do not know it.

Great. Which is more reason to put into practice what the UK is doing: jail those who infect others. Why? How about: Why not? Bring those -- who are accountable for the choices they make with their lives and lifestyles -- into accountability for the results of their choices as well. If you choose to practice sexual immorality in any form and contract some horrible virus or STD infection AND continue to have sex with others knowing the risk of your behavior, but not disclosing it to your partners, then you should pay for the crime. To rob another's life, intentionally or unintentionally, requires a form of payment. "Sorry" doesn't bring back the life of a person. And the argument that "neither does putting the person in jail" comes from a debased mentality. Payment is required. "Sorry," but that's just how it goes.

The new aggressive strain was discovered Feb. 11 in New York. As a result of this finding:

Medline Plus: Urging a major shift in U.S. policy, some health experts this week began recommending that virtually all Americans be tested routinely for the AIDS virus, much as they are for cancer and other diseases.

Merck Source - New HIV Strain May Progress Quickly

Plenty of information I hope.

This is not about discrimination, Nicholas.

The only resolution I can propose to protecting the blood supply is to:

1. continue to ban gay men from donating blood (wise decision based on all the information out there due to high risk behavior and the mentality in that population group)
2. promote education on HIV/AIDS to children in grade school & how it is contracted through
   • drug injection
   • infidelity
   • promiscuity
   • unprotected sex
   • risky sex (i.e. anal intercourse, rimming)
3. and go through with the policy of having everyone screened for HIV/AIDS since there seems to be a fear to get tested.

Make it just like screening for cancer - make the patient aware based on a little information given to the medical personnel (i.e. are you sexually active?) and then routinely test for it.

As for my statement earlier, “If the population of straight people who donate blood suddenly increased by a sizeable margin, the risk of HIV getting through the blood banks would increase," that is just common sense. If you have a larger population donating blood, there is likely going to be more HIV going into the testing phase because there would probably be more infected individuals donating. Think about it.

There is apparently no way to find out if someone has AIDS unless you trust they are telling you the truth before you have sex with them...and you CHOOSE to ask if they have anything you may contract.

The third option would probably be a better measure for protecting the blood supply. Those who are HIV-negative could be given the "official O.K." to donate blood.

But donating blood is a choice. It cannot be forced on anyone.

And when you make a choice to harm yourself (i.e. drug injection, unprotected sex, multiple sex partners), you are also inadvertantly harm others.

Adam & Eve

In the beginning...

...was a man and his wife. And they were the first two human beings to set foot on Earth.
The first male gender: Adam.
The first female gender: Eve.

The creation of one man and one woman represented the natural order of human existence. A balance of creation. They were purposely fashioned to be different genders. There was one of each. Unique. Different. Separate. Yet, Together. (Two gather).

Man and woman -- though they were two uniquely differing genders -- were designed together for a combined purpose.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

God designed man and woman in His mind to have dominion over:

• the fish of the sea,
• the fowl of the air,
• the cattle,
• all the earth,
• and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Quite a responsibility.


That word dominion comes from the Hebrew word radah {raw-daw'} and it means:

1) to rule, have dominion, dominate, tread down

a) (Qal) to have dominion, rule, subjugate
b) (Hiphil) to cause to dominate

The word dominion in the English language means:

1. Control or the exercise of control; sovereignty
2. A territory or sphere of influence or control; a realm.
3. a: supreme authority: sovereignty b: a territory over which such authority is exercised
4. the power (as authority) or right (as ownership) to use or dispose of property; specifically : absolute or exclusive use, control, ownership, or possession of property
5. dominance or power through legal authority

The word subjugate in the English language means:

1. To bring under control; conquer
2. To make subservient; enslave

The word tread in the English language means:

1. To walk on, over, or along.
2. To press beneath the feet; trample.
3. To subdue harshly or cruelly; crush.
4. To form by walking or trampling: tread a path.
5. To execute by walking or dancing: tread a measure.

With man and woman in mind, God gave them the responsibility to have dominion over [ have exclusive use of; own; control; conquer; enslave; influence; reign over; possess], through legal authority from God, the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the cattle, the earth, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

God had this in His mind to do when He said,

• Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
• and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

God already designed [conceived, fashioned in His mind, formulated as a plan, contrived for a particular purpose, deliberately intended, executed in an artistic manner, drawn up for construction, arranged for manufacture, blue-printed, worked out] to have man and woman fit [appropriated, prepared, properly placed, joined, in harmony, adapted, agreeable, acceptable, compatible, correspond] together.

The Creator of the Universe knew what He was doing when He created man as male and female.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Male and Female. Man and Woman. Husband and Wife. Created for a deliberate reason...for a deliberate purpose. God "brought her [the woman] unto the man".


Look at the word man. There are two Hebrew words that were translated into today's English word of man.

The first Hebrew word is 'adam {aw-dawm'} and it means:

1) man, mankind

a) man, human being
b) man, mankind (much more frequently intended sense in OT)
c) Adam, first man

The second Hebrew word is 'iysh {eesh} and it means:

1) man

a) man, male (in contrast to woman, female)
b) husband
c) human being, person (in contrast to God)
d) servant
e) mankind
f) champion
g) great man

2) whosoever
3) each (adjective)

The Hebrew word 'adam translates into the English word man in these verses to speak of all of mankind that will come after [as a result of, because of, from] the first man, Adam:

• Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam] in our image,
  
• Genesis 1:27 So God created man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam] in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
  
• Genesis 2:5 ...and there was not a man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam] to till the ground.
  
• Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam] of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam] became a living soul.
  
• Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam] whom he had formed.
  
• Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam], and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
  
• Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam],...
  
• Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam] should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
  
• Genesis 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam], made he a woman, and brought her unto the man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam].
  
• Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man [mankind, human being, first man, Adam] and his wife, and were not ashamed.

The Hebrew word 'iysh translates into the English word man in these verses to speak of the specific gender of man versus [in contrast to, opposite of] the gender of woman:

• Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman [female, wife, woman (opposite of man)], because she was taken out of Man [male, husband, man (in contrast to woman, female)].
  
• Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man [male, husband, man (in contrast to woman, female)] leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave [to cling, stay close, keep close, stick to, stick with, follow closely, pursue closely, join to, overtake, catch, be joined together] unto his wife [female, wife, woman (opposite of man)]: and they shall be one flesh.

"A man [male, husband] will leave his father and his mother, and shall stick with, keep close, catch, and be joined together unto his wife..."
"...made he a woman, and brought her unto the man." (Gen 2:22)

Very deliberate. It was intentional on God's part to bring man and woman together. Male and female. It was his design.


God then created [shaped, formed, birthed] the finished pieces of his design, starting with Man:

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed [blew] into his nostrils the breath [spirit] of life; and man became a living [lively, active, fresh, flowing, reviving] soul [person, appetite, mind, desire, emotion, passion].

Man was created as was planned. Born of the earth. That was finished piece #1 of the design: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

Next, God set the man to work in the earth as was planned:

Genesis 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Piece #2 of the design was finished. Eden was the man's practice area. He had to dress [cultivate, tend, and cut back the growth of] the garden and keep [retain possession of, have as a supply, maintain for use, manage, tend, have charge of, hold under control, prevent from overgrowing, maintain in good condition, preserve, watch over attentively, look after] the garden.

Practicing in this small area would prepare him for the task of managing all the earth. Adam was the first male born of mankind. By learning in the Garden of Eden how to exercise his new authority over the animals and the earth, he could then teach it to those who came after him such as his new wife-to-be...and soon after, his children (after he and she "become one flesh" and become "fruitful and multiply").

The man practiced his influence, control, sovereignty, rule over the animals:

Genesis 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

But the finished product was not completed without the woman. To subdue the earth would require help. One man could not tread the whole face of the earth in a day to tend to every plant and every herb of the field. He would need help:

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Help meet: Hebrew `ezer {ay'-zer} = help, succour, one who helps.
English succour = assistance in time of difficulty, help in a difficult situation, relief.

So God designed the perfect helper, piece #3:

Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Woman was born of the flesh. She was fashioned for a purpose. She was not created [birthed, shaped, formed] as a child because:

• man is not designed to do the childbearing
• a woman is needed for that purpose
• and she would help him meet God's requirements.

She would be the womb-bearing man; she would have the womb, bearing man-kind: Woman. She would help address this purpose: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

God's requirements were spoken to them in Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

That word replenish comes from the Hebrew word male' {maw-lay'} and it means:

1) to fill, be full

a) (Qal)

1. to be full
• a) fulness, abundance (participle)
• b) to be full, be accomplished, be ended
2. to consecrate, fill the hand

b) (Niphal)

1. to be filled, be armed, be satisfied
2. to be accomplished, be ended

c) (Piel)

1. to fill
   • a) to satisfy
   • b) to fulfil, accomplish, complete
   • c) to confirm

d) (Pual) to be filled
e) (Hithpael) to mass themselves against

From the moment the Woman is birthed, she is referred to as Wife.
The word "wife" is specifically used to refer to the woman in these verses:

• Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
  
• Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
  
• Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
  
• Genesis 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
  
• Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
  
• Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
  
• Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man ['iysh, [male, husband, man (in contrast to woman, female)] from the LORD.
  
• Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

That word wife comes from the Hebrew word 'ishshah {ish-shaw'} and it means:

1) woman, wife, female

a) woman (opposite of man)
b) wife (woman married to a man)
c) female (of animals)
d) each, every pronoun)

In fact, Adam finally gives her the name "Eve" (which means "life, living") after they eat of the tree (Gen 3:6,7), hide from God's presence [ashamed of their wrongdoing] (Gen 3:8-11), introduce the blame-game (Gen 3:12,13), and are both explained the tragedy of their error (Gen 3:14-19).
God redeems them of their sin [blood is spilled to clothe them] (Gen 3:21) and removes them from Eden (Gen 3:22-24).


So the third piece of the finished product was completed. Three ideas in mind: man and woman and dominion over earth (by filling it with mankind to exercise authority over it and the animals). By cleaving together, the man and woman would not only have dominion over the earth together...but they would be one flesh and multiply within [populate] the earth with their offspring.


Three = complete. Eve was the perfect help meet for Adam.

God made mankind

To till the ground

To exercise authority over earth

God made the female for the male

To give assistance to the male in times of difficulty

God instructed both the male & female to populate the earth.

It is clear why God created man and woman, male and female, husband and wife.
