POSTING THESE ENTRIES AGAIN ALWAYS GIVE ME THIS SLY GRIN ON MY FACE. I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE I WAS ABLE TO WRITE AN ENTRY FROM A SINGLE ENCOUNTER (LACK THEREOF) IN A BATHROOM THAT DIDN’T LAST FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE. I CAN REMEMBER THAT DAY AS IF HAPPENED A FEW MINUTES AGO & IT STILL SADDENS TO ME SOMETIMES TO THINK THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT WON’T EVER CHANGE OR PROGRESS. NONETHELESS, I THANK YOU FOR READING THIS VERY LONG ENTRY J

The gay community is broad and diverse. The main drivers of HIV infection may be simple to describe but the way that they pervade gay men’s lives and thinking is involved and complex. If we as a community are serious about stopping the spread of HIV in gay men, we must be serious about tackling these complex and difficult issues.

Well Condomadvisor.com is a website where you can type in your penis length, girth and circumference so you can find the right size condom you should be wearing. Women have bra fittings, men have condom fittings. Apparently a lot of men are wearing the wrong size....and i'm sure they all think they should be wearing Magnums...

¡WORLD AIDS DAY DOESN'T END @ MIDNIGHT!

Tweet

Over the years, World AIDS Day has become a global phenomenon that has prompted massive media coverage, raised awareness, encouraged people to get involved and helped amplify the voices of those living with HIV/AIDS. Every Dec. 1 for the past 22 years, humanity has taken 24 hours to commemorate those who have died, acknowledge those who live and those who fight on the front-lines of the battle against HIV, and ponder what it will take to eliminate the virus once and for all.

We all can agree that one day is not enough. Only so much that can be accomplished during a single rotation of the earth on its axis. So as we planned our 2010 World AIDS Day feature, we kept coming back to a central issue: How can we keep HIV/AIDS from falling back into obscurity once Dec. 2 hits? How can we help people carry the torch into 2011 and beyond? Is it even possible?

WORLD AIDS DAY : ¿IS IT ON YOUR RADAR?

World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. It is common to hold memorials to honor persons who have died from HIV/AIDS on this day. This disease has killed more than I care to count and NO one wants to catch it, but every year more and more people get it and live with the negative effects for the rest of their lives. It makes me wonder if there is REALLY anything we can do about this disease. Do you think everything that can be done is being done? What do we need to do get to the heart of why people are continuing to catch HIV?
