What to do if you think you have recently been exposed to HIV

Nelson Vergel's HIV Blog — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0100

This would definitely be the HIV medication combo that I would take if I was HIV negative and wanted to treat a potential HIV exposure (condom breakage, needle stick, etc). Prior studies were done using Truvada alone (two drugs combined in one pill), but adding raltegravir to Truvada makes a lot of sense. Raltegravir (brand name Isentress) is the HIV medication that lowers HIV viral load the (Source: Nelson Vergel's HIV Blog)

Yet another snow storm

It's snowing out again. This storm won't be a record breaker (3-5" in the Boston area) but enough to be annoying. I have been finding and watching a lot of online documentaries from BBC, CBC, PBS, Discovery, National Geographic, Travel Channel, etc, etc. I have always found documentaries more entertaining and informative than the stuff served up from the major network slop troughs.

World AIDS Day, 2011: Year 26 of Infection

2sides2ron — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:05:00 +0100

I awoke with one eye closed and buried in my pillow, but the other, wide open, stared into the bright sunlight that was streaming in through the closed blinds of my bedroom window. The sunlight shone brightly across the head and between the erect ears of my curled up schnauzer buddy, Goose. He feigned sleep and did not move, but his ears betrayed his attention to detail and his vigil for my awakening. I did not wish to move because it would cause him to stir. There I continued to lie for a few minutes, coming to my senses from the sleep and dreams that had had me clouded up a moment or two before. “What day is this? Thurs…oh…World AIDS Day.” I had let myself forget while asleep, but the day’s significance came back to me in a rush. “Oh dear. Most days of the year, I can handle ...

My journey with AIDS — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:47:16 +0100

This time last year, visiting Perth for Thanksgiving, I set out for a walk, the route of which I could easily picture in my mind but the distance (see map)…not so much. It seems an even longer walk to recall, one year later, limited as I am by injury. I was not even beyond the [...] (Source: My journey with AIDS)

Bursa – and not the city in Turkey!

My journey with AIDS — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 16:15:31 +0100

The ever-increasing pain I have experienced recently now has a name – bursitis. It follows the hip-femur repairs in 2003 and from years of strain on my minimal maximus – gluteus, that is. Yesterday I began physical therapy treatments and learned that we have bursae, at which I inquired, “As in bursitis?”, not knowing what [...] (Source: My journey with AIDS)

HIV and HPV - Short Lecture on What You Should Know to Prevent Anal Cancer

Nelson Vergel's HIV Blog — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 04:00:00 +0100

There are no guidelines currently set about anal cancer diagnosis. But many doctors are referring their patients to colon-rectal surgeons every two years or so to get high resolution anoscopies. Others just use anal pap smears as a first step to determine if an anoscopy is justified. These simple tests can detect precancerous tissue before they may become a problem. They are removed (Source: Nelson Vergel's HIV Blog)

AIDS Action Committee supports expanded HIV testing in Massachusetts

AIDS Action Committee's Blog — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:41:06 +0100

September 20, 2011 – AIDS Action Committee supports expanded HIV testing in Massachusetts. Increased, routine HIV testing would result in more state residents knowing their HIV status, and, if they are positive, getting them linked to the care that will improve their own individual health outcomes and make them less likely to transmit HIV to others. (For a fuller explanation of AIDS Action’s commitment to expanded HIV testing, read our July 2009 policy brief on the need for expanded testing in Massachusetts.) A bill currently before lawmakers titled “An Act Promoting Routine HIV Screening in the Commonwealth” would modernize state law around HIV testing by replacing the requirement for written consent for an HIV test with verbal consent and documentation of that consent in a patien...

There's no techno, tribal or gay dance muzak on this week's list of links. The only music I linked to are a few protest songs and an old classic standard, September Song from the 1930's. I Watched Woody Allen's "Radio Days" again after September Song kept playing in my head during labor Day weekend. The song does capture the emotions I feel whenever September comes around, a bittersweet mixture of the coming dread of Winter, mixed with an exhilaration of football weather, warm enough to still go out in shirt sleeves, but with a crisp clear edge to it. The other side of the coin is September can be a cold raw month dominated by drizzling rain and torrential downpours.The worst part of September for me is how it almost seems someone flipped a switch, the sun sets so much earlier, or seems to...

15 Seconds of fame

Nightmare Hall - Welcome to my nightmare — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 01:09:00 +0100

I got my 15 seconds of fame as I stepped off the bus to come home Thursday. My next door neighbor stopped me to let me know I had missed all the excitement. Police stormed a house across the street, hauling off a couple of hundred pot plants, all sorts of growing paraphernalia, lights, estimated at worth $150,000. As the long arm of the law drove off, the local Faux nooze team interviewed a few of us "were you shocked at how this could be happening on such a quiet street in such a peaceful town as this?" ....actually as uneasy as the drug issue made me feel, it didn't shock me at all. I have never liked being around drugs or the people sell/consume them. We would up being shown on a couple of news clips, and since then about 25-30 strangers have stopped and said "Hey you're that guy who wa...

Insanity is the norm

Nightmare Hall - Welcome to my nightmare — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 23:50:00 +0100

I'm sitting her at home n a Friday night, the same way as I have for years, totally alone, quiet, with no human contact. I'm not happy with the situation, but just about all of the few friends I had passed away years ago. It is not easy to make new friends in your mid 60's, especially when You have no social notwork at all to begin with. I was never particularly good looking by any stretch of the imagination, and the closest I ever got to having a compliment was "you're easy to pick out in a crowd, because you're odd looking." Our society, especially in yuppie infested places like major cities, regions like new England, etc place great value on looks, beauty, youth and social status. Imperfections are looked down upon....some day hopefully those who fancy themselves as too sexy for their h...

The MA Legislature has finalized a budget for 2012, cutting $1.5M for HIV/AIDS services

AIDS Action Committee's Blog — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 15:02:14 +0100

Statement from Rebecca Haag, President & CEO, AIDS Action Committee: “We are deeply disappointed with the Conference Committee budget cutting $1.5 million in the HIV/AIDS line item. This is the third year in a row that the HIV/AIDS line item has been cut by $1.5 million or more. Last year’s cut of $2 million resulted in reduced prevention and screening programs, residential support services, non-medical case management for persons living with HIV/AIDS, and elimination of the regional Service Coordination Collaborative system. “The state’s investment in HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention over the last three decades has paid off with a 59 percent reduction in new HIV diagnoses over the last 10 years, which will result in savings of more than $1.6 billion in health care costs.

AIDS Action Committee's Blog — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 18:35:47 +0100

From health care funding to anti-discrimination laws, public policy plays a key role in the fight against HIV/AIDS. That’s why AIDS Action maintains a strong advocacy presence at the local, state, and federal levels. Our public policy work is especially important on Beacon Hill, where decisions are routinely made that impact the lives of people at risk for and already living with HIV/AIDS here in Massachusetts. We wanted to give you a brief update on some important legislative efforts currently underway: The 2012 State Budget The state legislature is in the final days of coming up with a budget proposal to send to Governor Patrick for fiscal year 2012, which begins on July 1st.

Pride Goeth Before Destruction 2011

Nightmare Hall - Welcome to my nightmare — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 00:20:00 +0100

I years past I wrote long entries about observing Boston's annual gay pride parade, but during these past few years I'd rather not be within 1000 miles of the nonsense. This year was no exception, plus it poured dogs and cats most of the weekend, but it was still one of the longest parades, which I watched part of online. These are not my people, this is not my time, so I'm just glad all the "gay pride" hoopla of the past week is over and done with, not to be replaced with sports hysteria after the Boston Bruins winning the Stanley cup.I'm one of the minority who has no interest at all in any sports.

MariaTalks.com remains a medically-accurate and science-based source of information for teens about matters related to sexual health.

Some content was enhanced and we added some referral links, making it easier to navigate from one section to another. We also added more descriptive language to the sections of the site dealing with reproductive health. Maria is still talking to young teens about sexual health and all of the options available to them. The new version reflects input from reproductive health experts, youth experts as well as medical professionals. We think these changes improve the site and we enc...

Progress and Challenges in Hepatitis C

AIDS Action Committee's Blog — Thu, 12 May 2011 17:00:05 +0100

May is Hepatitis Awareness Month. Currently, more than 3 million people in the U.S. and 170 million worldwide are infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV-related liver disease and other health complications now claim an estimated 8,000 to 12,000 American lives each year – making HCV the fourth leading infectious cause of death in the U.S. These numbers have been projected to increase substantially in the coming decade. Fortunately, the past few weeks have brought news of promising developments that may help change these bleak projections: Namely, the imminent approvals of two new drugs for HCV treatment – Merck and Co.’s boceprevir and Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ telaprevir. In late April, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee unanimously recommended th...

What were my accomplishments? What were my failures? As AIDS approaches its 30th birthday the people who fight the disease are asking the same questions. While we've made significant advances against the disease, such as new medications and expanding access to treatment. HIV/AIDS is still a killer. AIDS has become the elephant in the middle of the room that no one wants to talk about. By allowing that to happen we've done a massive disservice to the early pioneers and AIDS advocates. Where modern day activists accept a promise of hope, maybe, 10 years from now the first generation of AIDS activists demanded action an...

Spring at Allan’s Mill (as previously seen on Facebook)

My journey with AIDS — Tue, 10 May 2011 04:01:44 +0100

Scotch Line Cemetery and Allan’s Mill Grant’s Creek doesn’t even make it on to the map (as a tributary of the Tay River) but, as the pictures show, it was rushing at full spring speed a couple of weeks ago, roaring past the former Allan’s Mill. The country road it is on, bearing the mill’s [...] (Source: My journey with AIDS)

HIV and nanotechnology: Workshop report i-base.info

Given the potential advantage of providing reduced toxicity, more durable formulations with improved pharmacokinetics (ie targeting macrophages to increase concentrations in lymph tissue and dramatically extending half-life and dosing intervals) and at a reduced cost makes it frustrating that so far none of these formulations has yet progressed to human studies.
