Researchers at the University of Toronto and the University of California, San Francisco, have revealed new hope for HIV treatment with the discovery of a way to 'rescue' immune cells that are exhausted from fighting off HIV infection.

In a recent episode of the television show South Park, one of the main characters is infected with HIV. In an attempt to find a cure, he must continually deal with the public opinion that AIDS is no longer a threatening condition. He is told that his disease is “a disease of the 80s and 90s” and even that he is “retro” for being infected with HIV. But has this retrovirus truly become retro to Americans? If we take South Park as a social barometer, then it seems that the disease has been marginalized in the public eye. Public interest on the Internet regarding AIDS is declining as well. A recent government blog abou...

As we all await teenage vampire drama on the big screen, some real high school drama is unfolding in Missouri, where just last month it was reported that as many as 50 students may have been exposed to HIV.
HIV tests were offered to all students, and 97% of the 1,300 took the test. Here's to hoping that they pass. The New York Times reports that students will get the results this week. Thus far, one person has been confirmed as positive, and a health official there said, "We don't feel like we can release anything that would indicate who it was. We don't want witch hunts going on."
Amen to that.
Positively Yours,

Currently, I am finishing my second book, which is a vampire story. I've touched on this a little, not giving too many details, as not to spoil the book or get anyone excited before I even have a greenlight on getting it published.
I can say, as I close in on another self-imposed deadline, that I am very happy with how it is going. It's my first attempt at writing fiction, and I've drawn inspiration from my own experiences as a teenager, as well as things that have clicked for me in the genre.

Those were the words spoken to me at 7am Wednesday morning, November fifth, 2008, by a Muslim lad in Liverpool who sold me two British newspapers. He saw that I'd been crying and he asked me if I was ok. I grinned and pointed to the front-page photos of President-elect Obama. That's all I had to do. He grinned back at me - by now he had tears in his eyes too - and said, "He's given us all hope." Amen, brother. Allāhu Akbar. Amen.

In high school, when I got my first copy of his first album, Pretty Hate Machine, I couldn't believe that one person, and one person alone was responsible for the music. It was the first time that it clicked in my head that I could make music for myself, and not have to rely on other musicians when I had my own "machines" at my disposal.
Of course, it took years and some tutoring from other synth enthusiasts to figure the damn things out. It also took speaking out about my HIV status at 20 to get the nerve to sing in public, but not acknow...

How to Protect Your Vote
Groups across the country are taking steps to prevent vote problems from marring the vote next Tuesday. Every year, both sides of the aisle let fly with allegations of voter fraud, voting machine problems, and improperly purged voters. Because of technological developments, voters seeking to publicize problems and groups seeking to address them can do so quicker than ever before.
Crying foul in elections is an American tradition. Instances from recent presidential elections are obvious — belief that Katherine Harris stole Florida in 2000 and Diebold stole Ohio in 2004 persist to this day — but...

“Please Call Me” Messages with HIV Info: Mobile Social Marketing in South Africa

“Please Call Me” messages are a popular cultural form of mobile communication in South African society. These USSD messages are used to advertise everything from car insurance to domestic airlines to the local corner store. Today, thanks to a recent project by SocialTxt, these free messages are used for the first time ever for social marketing: to encourage South Africans to get tested for HIV and obtain AIDS information.

South Africa: Using Cell Phones To Combat AIDS

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008 @ 00:34 UTC
South Africa has found a new weapon in its fight against HIV/AIDS – cell phones. A new initiative will be sending free text messages daily to encourage South Africans to get tested and treated for the disease.
The project, called Project Masiluleke or Project M, was announced last week at the Pop!Tech 2008 conference in Maine, U.S.A. It takes advantage of the popularity of cell phones in South Africa, using them to fight the country’s high rates of HIV and tuberculosis (TB). The first part of the project will se...

I’ve been griping to the No on 8 people that they needed to kick the Mormons in the balls with a TV ad because if there’s something evangelicals hate and fear more than gays, it’s Mormons. They should have been using this fear all along. Is it nice? Hell no. But neither is what the Mormons are trying to do. They already have a state built in their own image. It’s nice to see someone finally kick them in the balls.

Tomorrow is the election- vote. It's kind of a big deal.
If you are undecided, never mind what I just wrote. If you don't know by now you won't figure it out, and it's not something you can re-do the next day if you feel like you got it wrong. My advice is to sit this one out, and hope there are two candidates that are a bit more distinguishable from one another the next time around.
Plus, it's not fair to someone who has been jazzed about McCain or Obama for months now.
If you have HIV, you should know that Obama is already focusing on thedomestic AIDS issue, and supports the funding of the Ryan White CARE Act.

The prison medical care czar’s $8 billion plan to build 10,000 long-term care beds and other health facilities for inmates will cost taxpayers an additional $2.3 billion a year in operation costs, according to a draft internal state corrections department report obtained by The Bee.
Most of the $230,000 cost per inmate will result from a staffing ratio of 1.4 employees per prisoner - including art therapists, music therapists, beauticians and barbers, the report said. It “...

Twice a year, when Daylight Savings Time begins or ends, make it a habit to not only change your clocks, but do a few other semi-annual tasks that will improve safety in your home…
Do these things every 6 months when you reset your clocks:

If nothing scared you last night, then this photo should.
I have been remiss the last little while. I was supposed to get this up a couple days ago for Halloween. As you can see I didn’t.
If you want to read the piece online it’s here, you’ll have to scroll down a bit. It was fun to write, even though we had to do the photograph when it was hellishly busy.
Don’t forget to come to the HIV Stigma site. We need your participation. It doesn’t matter if you are in Ontario or not. It’s a great site and the more people contribute to it the better.

Children in Botswana culture start learning how to be productive and hard working citizens at an early age. The children start doing house and cattle post chores before and after school. For example, collecting water from the stand pipe to mix with sand and make mud bricks for their adobe homes. Furthermore, children follow their parents to the cattle post and help gather their animals.

From the Canadian Press: Saskatchewan investigating after hospital found to be reusing syringes.
It's a terrifying article, but don't make the mistake I did when first reading this. I thought it said "Sasquatch investigating after hospital..." Come to think of it, any hospital that reuses syringes should have to answer to this guy.
Positively Yours,

Conclusion
In the world of HIV prevention, persons over the age of 50 have been called the invisible population. Few prevention campaigns have focused their messages on older adults and their concerns. Moreover, few clinical trials of drug efficacy and safety have included older persons, and persons aged 50 and older have been excluded from most sexually transmitted disease risk-reduction trials [18]. Because more persons are living longer in good health, those over the age of 50 could benefit from HIV prevention efforts.

Prop 5 would impact LGBTs
[to the editor:]
There’s another initiative on the ballot besides Prop 8 that would have an impact on the LGBT community - Proposition 5, the Nonviolent Offender Rehabilitation Act. It will provide drug treatment for youth, improve and expand treatment for nonviolent offenders, and offer common-sense solutions to California’s grave prison overcrowding crisis. Prop 5 will divert nonviolent offenders into treatment and other services based on their needs, such as education, vocational training, family counseling, housing assistance, and mental health treatment.
These services will contin...

Court loosens Ottawa’s grip on access to medical marijuana
The Canadian Press
October 27, 2008 at 7:11 PM EDT
TORONTO — A Federal Court of Appeal decision on Monday that upholds a lower-court ruling loosening Ottawa’s tight grip on access to medical marijuana is being reviewed, the federal government says.
A three-judge panel dismissed an appeal from government lawyers who argued Ottawa’s monopoly on medical pot was the only way to provide a safe and reliable supply.
The panel strenuously challenged arguments made by Justice Department lawyer Sean Gaudet that there was a lack of hard evidence to back up...

Care homes could face closure
By Nicholas Timmins and John O’Doherty
Published: October 30 2008 02:10
The credit crunch could force care homes [in great britain] to close unless local authorities can pay bigger fees or the government helps the sector find capital, a leading healthcare practitioner warned on Wednesday.
Chai Patel, a former health adviser to the government and former chief executive of the Priory Group and Westminster Health Care, said the string of highly leveraged care home deals in recent years were likely to come unstuck as companies struggled to refinance them.
“There is a chance of the social care...

Global banking reshaped
This multimedia snapshot brings together coverage of the mounting crisis and its impact on the markets through links to in depth packages, interactive maps, audio, video and blogs.
The rising defaults on subprime mortgages in the US triggered a global crisis for the money markets. Many of the world’s leading investment banks have collapsed as a result and the US government has proposed a massive bail-out.
The crisis has become one of the most radical reshapings of the global banking sector, as governments and the private sector battle to shore up the financial system following the disappearance of...
