I’m quite busy today. Back from my HIV-glamour status raising trip to Montreal. Just when I thought they were going to take my card away, I was able to be whisked off to Montreal, no TTC here, full on Taxi,
stayed in an expensive boutique hotel in Old Montreal, Place d’Armes, and then whisked back to Toronto 24 hours later.
Not only did I get 500 airmiles, I once again felt glamorous. Truth be told, ever since I was given the title of HIV Glamour Emeritus, I risk no angry mob demanding the retrieved of my glam status.

Speaking Out for a Group Once Unheard-Of: Aging With AIDS
By KAREN BARROW
Published: November 10, 2008
In the early 1990s, a diagnosis of AIDS was both a likely death sentence and a stigma. There were few treatment options, and many Americans were terrified of people infected with H.I.V.
Today, because of antiretroviral therapy and an array of drugs to treat both symptoms and side effects, AIDS has become a chronic condition to be managed, at least in the developed world. No longer is the face of AIDS emaciated and covered with lesions; Americans with the disease are stronger and healthier, their concerns ...

How Does HIV/AIDS Affect the Elderly in Developing Countries?
Of the estimated 40 million people living with HIV, the vast majority are adults in their prime working years, but as this middle generation dies of AIDS, a generation of young children and a generation of elderly ages 50 and older are left behind (UNAIDS and WHO 2006). The elderly not only lose the support of their adult children, but they must increasingly take on additional familial responsibilities— with potentially a...

During the past week, there has been a flurry of media coverage about what some people are claiming is a “potential cure” for AIDS. I’ve seen coverage in a variety of news outlets, from the Wall Street Journal to the Metro and Yahoo News.
Having read about dozens – if not hundreds – of “AIDS cures” in the 25+ years of the epidemic, I maintain what I think is a healthy degree of skepticism about such claims.
Many past claims of AIDS cures have had little of no scientific basis, often relying instead on magical thinking, secret ingredients, and pseudoscientific techniques. In a relatively few instances, the c...

Connecticut has determined that gay marriage is legal, squarely kicking Proposition H8 in the ol' wedding favors.
The other night I was watching Countdown With Keith Olbermann. On November 10, his Special Comment, the rant that ends his show as masterfully lampooned by Ben Affleck on Saturday Night Live, was about Proposition 8. I couldn't write it better than he says it here.
The odds of me living a full life are great. It was the gay community that fought to have the AIDS issue brought into the light in the 1980's, to make sure treatments were being developed so more friends wouldn't have to be buried. To ensure that ...

Benjamin ferret doesn't care much, anymore.
I wake him up from deep sleep, and all he wants to do is crawl on my chest and lick my nose and mouth. It seems to give him joy, so I let him. He is amazingly gentle and never nips. And sometimes, is so overcome by his moment of contact that he draws back from licking me, and licks his lips with his eyes squeezed tightly shut, a ferret sign of rapture.
But when I let him out to play with the others, there is not so much joy or interest. He wanders the apartment for a little while, then finds a piece of cloth on the floor or spends time opening the animal carrier in the corner, ...

I recently wrote about how cool it would be for Sean Strub, founder of Poz Magazine, to be appointed as the AIDS Czar by the Obama Administration.
The New York Times has already endorsed Sean. Not for AIDS Czar, but for having a cool home and being one of the best ambassador's us positoids have. In the article, Sean says, “One only needs to look at the invisibility of AIDS in this year’s presidential contest to see how our political muscle has atrophied.”
And that's why we need him. Badly.
The good news about Obama and the AIDS epidemic is that he has already endorsed condom use as a means to prevent HIV transmis...

I’ve been remiss a bit at posting. The depression drug transition is getting better. It felt as if I was going through withdrawal (as I’ve been through it before) from the one that was tempered by the other drug, which has not quite yet got to therapeutic levels. But I’m getting there!
On more than one occasion I’ve been told that I look down. And you know there are right, especially when my SSRI pickled brain chemistry goes even more off balance.
All of this means I’ve been more crabby lately. One board I sit on...

Writer Mark Schoofs tells of the startling case of an AIDS patient who underwent a bone marrow transplant to treat leukemia and how his story is stirring new hope that gene-therapy strategies on the far edges of AIDS research might someday cure the disease. The full text of the Wall Street Journal Heath story is here.

November 7th 2008 was Natavillage first Senior Citizen Appreciation Day for approximately 60+ seniors who attended the big event. The sixty-five and above group celebrated their day with dancing and laughing with other members of their community. After many speeches by the Kgosi and other influetial members of the community the seniors citizens were treated to an awesome big lunch provided by the Post Office Staff. The community hopes this special event is the beginning of a long lasting appreciation for all the senior citizens living in Natavillage to be recognized.
