Reporter Seeking Information

A New York Times science and health reporter is working on a piece about the new rapid home HIV test kit which the FDA has just approved and which will be on the market in October. He would like to interview HIV-neg gay men (on the record, possibly with a photo) about whether you'd consider using it to screen potential partners before sex (and what parameters you'd want to see in the test before you'd consider doing so - ie, cost, accuracy, time, social acceptability, etc.). Anyone up for talking with a reporter?


Hit me up here (adventuresgrsx@gmail.com) and I’ll pass your email. The reporter will contact you via email about an interview. Thnx for you help.

MS ADVISORY

Just wanted to take some time off to post an ever-important reminder. While my site does discuss and share lots of things sexual in nature, that does not mean I propose indulging in reckless sexual liaisons.

Granted some of the things I've done in the past may be considered dangerous today, those were the light-headed days of the 80s when everyone was foolish and did foolish things. I like to think that I've grown wiser since then.

Sex is undoubtedly a wonderful and exciting physical activity for some, and a demonstration of love for others, and it would be such a pity it you can't engage in it anymore due to a foolish decision.

Get laid but keep it safe. Stay AIDS-free and do support the cause whenever you encounter one. Thanks.

Time once again for a necessary reminder that if you wanna play, play safe. Take every precaution to ensure that you'll be able to play again and again. I'm not sure if its me but it just seems like the anti-aids message has somewhat lost some momentum. Time to give it back some life.

Thanks Jerome from Malaysia, for this poster. I do however think that it does somewhat give the wrong impression that men are the ones spreading it. Women can do it too! Just seems like the women is the victim and the men are all aids spreaders, which we all know is not quite accurate.

MS ADVISORY - NO UNDOING

Time for the monthly advisory. I think this particular one does have an impact on the digital generation of today. It is in a language that they may perhaps be able to relate to. Thanks Loverboy from Sweden. Good to know that you're gay and proud of it. Even better to know that you enjoy my blog!

MS ADVISORY - SIMPLE MESSAGE

This was one of the earlier safe-sex ads that was sent in by Bob. He didn't say where he was from but he mentioned that this was actually a common sight in the major cities in Africa during the late 1980s, not long after the global awareness campaigns started.

In my case, the sex education I received from my mother was hardly an education at all. It was more like a warning and there was no mention of AIDS. My mum, a single mum, was a woman of a few words - 'I'll beat you if you get pregnant!' or something along those lines and that was it!

Early days, those words would reverberate in my head. But as I grew older, foolishly thinking myself wiser, the draw of sex was overwhelming. I was in a way obsessed with it. Well, look how I turned out?

Anyway, I am determined not to do the same with my daughter and constantly remind her about safe-sex. With the generation today, it's really asking for trouble when you set rules and regulations or say 'Don't do this' or 'Don't do that!' Chances are, once you turn your back, they are on their backs! So I subscribe to safety first and subtly ingrain in them the value building a relationship outside of sex.

MS ADVISORY

I read in the news the other day about a father of three who was diagnosed with HIV+.

What I found particularly disturbing about the story was that although he said he was paying for what he did - visiting a hooker every time he travels and not practicing safe sex - he does not realise that his follies have affected and destroyed the lives of his three children aged between four and nine years of age. His response was 'They just have to manage without me.'

There was no mention of his wife but I gather she should be terribly disappointed by the whole thing.

Like any chronic disease, people should realise that it affects the whole family. But unlike other diseases which are mostly not preventable, this one by and large, is. So play safe - for your sake and your family's sake.
