"In the Moment" Pt. 2
Here's the second episode of the gay soap opera sponsored by the City of West Hollywood. What do you think? Better or worse than Part 1? Salt Lake ain't WeHo but I still saw some parallels to experiences I and some of my friends have had.

Barebacking with HIV
Are you HIV+ or dating someone with HIV? You've probably heard of a recent Swiss study that asserted that "people with undectable viral loads are sexually non-infectious." Turns out that isn't the case.

HIV Rates Much Higher than Originally Reported
Medscape Medical News reports a drastic revision of US rates of HIV infection:
This comes on the heels of a Reuters report of a disturbing new study by the American Foundation for AIDS Research:New HIV infections in the United States reached 56,300 in 2006, according to long-anticipated figures released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)on August 2. That is about 40% more than the previous estimate of 40,000 annual infections, which the CDC has been using since the early 1990s.
Globally, men who have sex with men are 19 times more likely to be infected with HIV than the general population, yet MSM are ignored by many UN member states that pledged to monitor the disease among at-risk groups.NPR's Talk of the Nation featured an interesting discussion on these stories today. You can listen to the podcast here. The New York Times has a video about the blurring of gay and straight identity contributing to HIV here.
Asian MSM are 18 times more likely to be HIV-infected than the general population, and African MSM are at least four times more likely to be infected. In Latin America, MSM are 33 times more likely to be infected and account for nearly 25 percent of those infected. Nonetheless, MSM programs receive less than 1 percent of total HIV/AIDS spending in the region.
Criminalization of sex between males and institutionalized homophobia are key drivers of HIV/AIDS in many countries, preventing MSM from accessing even basic HIV services, the report concluded. In seven of 10 countries with the highest rates of HIV among MSM, homosexual activity is criminalized. And in seven UN member states, it is a capital crime.

Love Letter to Lube
It might take a good scrubbing in the shower to get off, but silicone lube goes and goes and goes, and is REALLY great for reducing your risk of tearing your rectum when engaging in bum fun. Thanks lube, for making sex slippery-er and safer.
Enjoy these Lube factoids from our Bar-B-Queer:
