There Is a Daily Pill That Prevents HIV. Gay Men Should Take It.

There Is a Daily Pill That Prevents HIV. Gay Men Should Take It. | Sex Positive | Scoop.it
From www.slate.com - January 13, 2014 12:16 AM

Today’s AIDS landscape reveals that an unyielding devotion to condom usage isn’t enough to halt the spread of HIV. It takes a variety of safe-sex practices to shield gay men from infection, and Truvada should be a linchpin of that strategy. Given the seemingly unstoppable drop in condom usage among gay men, this is no time for ideological disputes or intergenerational conflict. Every gay man with multiple sex partners should take Truvada, and AIDS activists should do everything they can to get the drug in the hands of those who want it.

The AIDS Granny In Exile

The AIDS Granny In Exile | Sex Positive | Scoop.it
From www.buzzfeed.com - December 2, 2013 5:14 PM

In the ’90s, a gynecologist named Gao Yaojie exposed an AIDS epidemic in rural China and the ensuing government cover-up. Forced to leave, she’s now 85 and living alone in New York.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

This is heartbreaking: Both mother and son say the same thing today: Gao is a good doctor, but “maybe not the best mother.”


We don't typically have such sentiments for fathers who dare to do good things for the world.
