National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day...

 

Today is NGMHAAD, I'm not typing that again.  Here are a couple of sites, AIDSVU & POZ.  AIDSVU was the better piece, POZ's seemed like an afterthought.  HIV.gov & the CDC used to have good pages, but not this year.  Gee, I wonder why?

There used to be more info on this day.  Any way, these 2 sites can get you started.  This is a day of awareness, learning & remembering how things were.  There's been enormous efforts made to move us forward.  But there's always been resistance.  It's not over yet & may never be.

And the band played on...

Take care.

National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness & Guidelines....

 

Today is the National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness day.  Here are a couple of pieces with info, POZ & HIV.gov. This day deals with the disproportionate numbers of Gay/BI men with HIV.  As well as the specific issues & needs of this group.

#NGMHAAD is Saturday, September 27. Gay and bisexual men account for 58% of people living with HIV in the U.S. They made up 66% of new cases in 2023, and most were in the South.

I'm not sure where POZ got their numbers, but if they're even close, it's a problem  MSM are the most apt to be diagnosed.  There are points on other matters such as age & ethnic/racial background.  These are good pieces, give them a read.

HIV.gov updated their guidelines for the use of antiretrovirals in adults & adolescents.  This is not an easy read.  It's dense, complex & written for a fairly professional audience.   There might be info here for you.   I'd at least scan it & save it.

That's all for now, take care.
