We thought it was too inflammatory a subject, thought it might encourage people to <I>do it</I>, thought that people would think we were irresponsible.<br><br>That changed in a big way when we featured Josh Landale, Josh Kruger, Michael Bouldin, Jake Sobo, Mark S. King and a handful of others for whom barebacking is either part of their lives or they have come to terms with it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71844/why-we-need-to-re-assess-barebacking-stop-the-stig.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=KGdRnm3gm94:9V6PWjB3E9k:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/KGdRnm3gm94" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71844/why-we-need-to-re-assess-barebacking-stop-the-stig.html baxter@accel.net (Bob Leahy) Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:15:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71844/why-we-need-to-re-assess-barebacking-stop-the-stig.html The Other Side of Love, Part Two: Partner Abuse in LGBT Communities http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/3DFd0t6ni08/the-other-side-of-love-part-two-partner-abuse-in-l.html <blockquote><p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/daver_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Dave R." align="right">You're afraid to leave and afraid to stay.

They'll snort and claim they would never allow themselves to be in that position. Your family and the world at large will jump to conclusions.

Or not. Or maybe. It's debateable right now. The first report revealed that his battle with throat cancer nearly three years ago spurred from possible exposure to human papilloma virus (<a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/hpv" target="_blank">HPV</a>). He stated in <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2013/jun/02/michael-douglas-oral-sex-cancer" target="_blank">an interview</a> with the <i>Guardian</i> that oral sex caused throat cancer. More <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/06/03/michael-douglas-oral-sex-caused-throat-cancer/2383863/" target="_blank">recent reports</a> claim that the 68 year-old actor did <i>not</i> say that oral sex caused his cancer specifically but was a potential cause of it. Semantics aside, the mere mention of HPV, cancer, and a famous movie star in the same sentence causesthe media circuit to light up and presents a time for a teachable moment. Now before everyone freaks out and temporarily swears off oral sex, let's examine what HPV is and how it relates to throat cancer.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71740/michael-douglas-hpv-and-throat-cancer.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=aUaq14kFtzc:EJIoh-fUwoU:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/aUaq14kFtzc" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71740/michael-douglas-hpv-and-throat-cancer.html writeoncm@gmail.com (Candace Y.A.

After talking with him, he still didn't know what I meant at all.</p> <p>So, Patrick and I decided to make another video with people who came to Black Gay Pride, asking them what it really means to them. Hopefully, this would help others, like my friend, to understand that this was not meant to threaten, but to enlighten those who didn't understand why we have a Black Gay Pride.

These leaders in our GLBT community are who I am VERY proud of.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71620/silence-equals-death.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=j9vyXOuzoqg:iN02ZJhfBOM:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/j9vyXOuzoqg" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71620/silence-equals-death.html enriqueafranco@yahoo.com (Enrique Franco) Sat, 1 Jun 2013 14:19:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71620/silence-equals-death.html Sharing the Rainbow http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/blAVLwKSILk/sharing-the-rainbow.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/shana_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Shana Cozad" align="right">The gay community has always enveloped me, with love, with generosity, with humor and in ways of deeply understanding that no other community of people can or could.

No matter what your sexual predilection may be, we all have been born as a result of an egg from a woman and sperm from a man. I am not homophobic and I don't think we should judge others by their sexual preference. Our mind uses <i>judgment</i> as a means to separate us from each other, but <b><i>we are all connected</i></b> by our humanity. Stigma around HIV is partially based in heterosexuals' fear of being identified as gay. As a heterosexual black man, people of other sexual persuasions have hit on me, but no one has convinced me to try anything I didn't want to.

I'M PROUD TO BE A BLACK, GAY, MARRIED, FATHER, LEATHERMAN WHO HAPPENS TO KNOW HIS HIV STATUS!!!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71742/why-is-there-a-black-gay-pride.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=boG5YSTBhjs:lgEFKl05tzg:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/boG5YSTBhjs" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71742/why-is-there-a-black-gay-pride.html jsmithco98@hotmail.com (Justin B.

Drums played exotic rhythms as she unveiled herself before 800,000 people -- the largest in the history of Central Park. Dressed in a glittering orange suit with billowing fabric, Diana Ross welcomed the cheering masses as an ominous summer storm darkened the sky. She created a magic spell with song and, at one point, implored the audience to "make a wish and let it go." As dusk fell the winds picked up and sweeping veils of rain moved in over the park. Television cameras captured her soaked hair and face. Oblivious to the torrential downpour, she became one with the crowd.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71539/flashback-diana-ross-in-central-park.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=RzNVkYPaLpg:XQQ7ylrJm2U:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/RzNVkYPaLpg" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71539/flashback-diana-ross-in-central-park.html davidfawcett@earthlink.net (David Fawcett, Ph.D., L.C.S.W.)

Infections and the development of warts appear to be common throughout life. In general, genital HPV infection is considered to have become dramatically more frequent over the past several decades. In the United States, young adults aged 15-24 years account for approximately one half of new HPV infections each year. The highest rate of infection is among young females aged 20-24 years. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are 6 million new incidents a year in the United States (in 2008) and an estimated prevalence of more than 20 million.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71540/hpv-vaccination--a-wasted-resource-for-african-ame.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=THmxwRII6Yk:lXLxKwiy45o:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/THmxwRII6Yk" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71540/hpv-vaccination--a-wasted-resource-for-african-ame.html garyb@bebashi.org (Gary Bell) Thu, 16 May 2013 13:55:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71540/hpv-vaccination--a-wasted-resource-for-african-ame.html Raw Sex, Roulette Parties, HIV/AIDS and BDSM http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/fTL9z4ubE08/raw-sex-roulette-parties-hivaids--bdsm.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/jsmith_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Justin B.

Furthermore, having sex without a condom sure won't earn you his heart forever, but it just might earn you a sexually transmitted disease that you will have to live with forever.

I asked him to stop, but he either wasn't cable of change or he didn't give a fuck about how I felt. So you know what I did, right? Right!

It has been six months to date since this happened &amp; I am still dealing with the situation mentally. When I first got the news I was getting tested every two weeks and about two months ago I have limited it to once a month. All of my tests have been negative, but, for some reason, I am dealing with anxiety issues to the max. I feel like every symptom is there and I'm having it. I don't understand why I can't move on from this. Getting tested should be helping me but it just takes me back to the same place I was when I first got the news. Maybe you can give me some words of wisdom and encouragement that will help me to move past this &amp; move on. Oh, and now I'm terrified to have sex. I don't sleep around I was always in a relationship so I don't understand why me ... so maybe you can help.<br /> -- Monique</i></p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71743/justin-time-hiv-advice-column-for-april-2013.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nk5GXERq-X4:Hvv3GP88OP8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/nk5GXERq-X4" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71743/justin-time-hiv-advice-column-for-april-2013.html jsmithco98@hotmail.com (Justin B.

The article, from the headline on in, is stigmatizing, racist, heterosexist, shortsighted and misinformed. It does what all the best journalism does: It packs quite the punch in a few short paragraphs. Unfortunately, it reserves its worst jabs and most powerful punches for young black gay men -- a population already at the intersection of many oppressed identities -- and does nothing to further healthy, productive conversation on the fight against HIV/AIDS, ending homophobia or respecting the lives and bodies of Brooklyn residents.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71360/why-does-mainstream-media-continue-to-throw-young.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=7IicOscFZDA:SdFaCkRZ9ko:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=7IicOscFZDA:SdFaCkRZ9ko:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=7IicOscFZDA:SdFaCkRZ9ko:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=7IicOscFZDA:SdFaCkRZ9ko:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=7IicOscFZDA:SdFaCkRZ9ko:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=7IicOscFZDA:SdFaCkRZ9ko:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=7IicOscFZDA:SdFaCkRZ9ko:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=7IicOscFZDA:SdFaCkRZ9ko:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/7IicOscFZDA" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71360/why-does-mainstream-media-continue-to-throw-young.html Sun, 28 Apr 2013 08:00:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71360/why-does-mainstream-media-continue-to-throw-young.html Don't Take NO for an Answer: How to Overcome Your Insurance Company Choosing Your Pharmacy for You http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/8DmXoWbaH28/dont-take-no-for-an-answer-how-to-overcome-your-in.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/michelle_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Michelle J.

Unfortunately, this significance is met by a practice that still deals with broad categories of mental illness rather than the specificity of HIV-related mental problems. Mental health care providers in the case of HIV-positive persons are, mostly, social workers who lack the experience to deal with nuances of the problems rooted in the minds of poz folks.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71351/mental-therapy-and-hiv-one-patients-perspective.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=q7jp_GbD78g:dfcqc1ELajY:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/q7jp_GbD78g" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71351/mental-therapy-and-hiv-one-patients-perspective.html ibrahimpoz@yahoo.com (Ibrahim) Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:29:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71351/mental-therapy-and-hiv-one-patients-perspective.html Meet Bob Bowers http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/OApHNNXeyVY/meet-bob-bowers.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/aless_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Aless Piper" align="right">In December 2012, I was privileged and honored to run <a href="http://myjourneywithaids.wordpress.com" target="_blank">my friend Kenn Chaplin's</a> World AIDS Day roundup, which he had originated in 2010.

Terry-Smith" align="right">Last week I thought long and hard about the reason why someone would get a bio-hazard tattoo on their body, and then I asked myself why I would get one. I decided I would get a Biohazard tattoo not because I wanted to feel better about myself being HIV positive, but it was because I felt for the people that couldn't be open about their status. There are many reasons why a person cannot be open about their status; it could be because of their family, friends, partner/s, fear of persecution, death etc. But a lot of these reasons come from Stigma. Stigma of how one is treated when being open about their HIV status is very much alive and well. I got this tattoo for those mentioned above to help fight against HIV stigma.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71368/the-biohazard-tattoo--hiv-stigma.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=64k-NMuijhM:YxZIaMuv3Nc:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/64k-NMuijhM" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71368/the-biohazard-tattoo--hiv-stigma.html jsmithco98@hotmail.com (Justin B.

I know that I learned how to interact with people in a way that avoided conflict. I did not want to hurt anyone else's feelings because I knew how it felt, and I also feared retaliation and then escalation. So I learned how to tell people only what I wanted them to know, and more often than not, I told them what I thought they wanted to hear. I'm a Libra, so I thought I was just being diplomatic, but it turns out I was actually living more like a spy! As a spy, I operated under the assumption that most people don't want (or need) the truth.

In spite of what you read in the tabloids, this isn't the land of celebs running all over town in their Bentleys, charging whatever they want on Rodeo Drive. It's actually a town where one in seven people live under the poverty line. It's a town where over 60,000 individuals struggle daily with HIV/AIDS. It's a town, where in spite of whatever the Kardashians are cooking up next, has seen its median income drop nearly $4,000 between 2007 and 2010, to a pretty impossible to live on here amount of $52,384. This number, coupled with the fact that Los Angeles County has the highest amount of uninsured individuals in the State of California, makes you wonder how anyone can even afford to attend the Oscars.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71222/why-is-there-a-bedbug-on-my-oscar.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=npVYyzb0xeQ:CS62aBijx3s:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/npVYyzb0xeQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71222/why-is-there-a-bedbug-on-my-oscar.html thomasdelorenzo@mac.com (Thomas DeLorenzo) Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:25:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71222/why-is-there-a-bedbug-on-my-oscar.html My Shifting Seat on the HIV Merry-Go-Round http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/F8h81sMnE7c/my-shifting-seat-on-the-hiv-merry-go-round.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/ed_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Ed Perlmutter" align="right">Regarding HIV clinical care, my friend James always says, "stay close to the center of the merry-go-round." And it's great advice. Stay close to the center and gravity keeps you balanced and secure, in the right spot, even though you're spinning fast, round and round. Shift out from the center and all bets are off. For the past six and one-half years, I've had my ass firmly planted at the center of the merry-go-round, right where I need to be. And I've been holding onto that spot for dear life, and there I've received the best HIV clinical care I could possibly imagine.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71197/my-shifting-seat-on-the-hiv-merry-go-round.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=F8h81sMnE7c:3iGoqkoCOq8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/F8h81sMnE7c" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71197/my-shifting-seat-on-the-hiv-merry-go-round.html AccidentalActivist1@gmail.com (Ed Perlmutter) Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:51:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71197/my-shifting-seat-on-the-hiv-merry-go-round.html Changing My Mind on Treatment as Prevention http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/SwIAI77yeVE/changing-my-mind-on-treatment-as-prevention.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/bleahy_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Bob Leahy" align="right">One hundred and eighty degree turns happen in a variety of ways. Sometimes we seize the steering wheel of our lives and in one fell swoop travel along an opposite path. Other times, we take the turn slowly, one degree at a time, gradually realizing the path we are on leads nowhere and we need to go off in radically new directions. That's been the case with my realizing that most of my once fervently held objections to treatment as prevention, in 2013, make much less sense than they once did.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71196/changing-my-mind-on-treatment-as-prevention.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=SwIAI77yeVE:JhdSgSs_75A:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/SwIAI77yeVE" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71196/changing-my-mind-on-treatment-as-prevention.html baxter@accel.net (Bob Leahy) Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:50:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71196/changing-my-mind-on-treatment-as-prevention.html My Inner Critic Takes a Holiday http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/NvK5jWFFP8A/my-inner-critic-takes-a-holiday.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/philip_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Philip D." align="right">Since 2007, my inner critic has been extra busy. Sure, he's always been a really, hard worker but since HIV moved in, he's been pulling extra shifts. First one in, last one out, and rarely takes a sick day. In fact, he does his job with such consistency and dedication that most of the time he goes unnoticed. Until recently, that is. My newfound awareness, after observing him in action, has brought me to the conclusion that it's time for him to take a much-needed vacation.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71200/my-inner-critic-takes-a-holiday.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=NvK5jWFFP8A:Q045wMbhf1Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/NvK5jWFFP8A" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71200/my-inner-critic-takes-a-holiday.html felippedman@gmail.com (Philip D.)

The Supreme Court is considering two cases on marriage equality -- the first a challenge to California's Proposition 8 and the second a challenge to Section 3 of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Considerable -- and merited -- attention has been devoted to the fairness, dignity, and equality at stake in these cases. And while these reasons alone should be sufficient to ensure same-sex couples' right to marry, it is important to note that marriage equality also promotes LGBT health and strengthens our ability to combat HIV/AIDS.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/71051/this-is-a-huge-week-for-lgbt-equality.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gtDTUXAJb88:wqSubt4DllI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gtDTUXAJb88:wqSubt4DllI:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=gtDTUXAJb88:wqSubt4DllI:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gtDTUXAJb88:wqSubt4DllI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=gtDTUXAJb88:wqSubt4DllI:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gtDTUXAJb88:wqSubt4DllI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gtDTUXAJb88:wqSubt4DllI:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=gtDTUXAJb88:wqSubt4DllI:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/gtDTUXAJb88" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/71051/this-is-a-huge-week-for-lgbt-equality.html Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:34:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/71051/this-is-a-huge-week-for-lgbt-equality.html Candace's AIDS News Update http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/T8RhUcbb3lI/candaces-aids-news-update.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/candace_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Candace Y.A.

When you're older, your memory banks are stuffed to the gills and although you may not be able to remember what you did yesterday, your childhood and later years will burst out of dusty memory files, in spontaneous clips of recollection and without apparent rhyme or reason.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70827/the-bitter-sweet-pain-of-remembrance.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=42Zj4iqU-cI:JSft38hBV_0:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/42Zj4iqU-cI" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70827/the-bitter-sweet-pain-of-remembrance.html drew50@chello.nl (Dave R.)

At the same time, the passing of a close cousin and Christine Maggiore has forced me to ask myself, "If I were HIV-positive, would I have the strength of my convictions to live the life I advocate, like Christine, or would I take the path that most people take?" My mind rejects conventional wisdom on HIV and the use of HIV medications, but I don't think I would take the "holistic" route, either. I just don't understand why there can't be an alternative clinical option. Let me know what your thoughts are.

The answer typically denotes the person's experience within the community and to some degree reflects their journey with HIV/AIDS. We have inched closer to longer life-expectancy while at the same time creating a diminished a sense of urgency and self-determination that as a community we once had, but now have lost.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70626/the-changing-face-of-hivaids-activism.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=o5C81hrrXAQ:9abii53qOn0:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/o5C81hrrXAQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70626/the-changing-face-of-hivaids-activism.html aaronlaxton@gmail.com (Aaron Laxton) Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:10:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/70626/the-changing-face-of-hivaids-activism.html HIV Is Not a Gift.

This was during the era of the policy of "Don't Ask Don't Tell." Also, since it is dated, it was on a VHS tape. I thought to myself, "Wow, I've grown a lot since then." My foster son used to express interest in the military. He said, "Dad, I want to be a Marine." Of course, his father and I tried to persuade him to join the Air Force or the Army, since I'm prior Air Force and my husband is prior Army. After that discussion I think my foster son decided to change his mind about even going into the service, but who knows, he is a teenager and may change his mind later.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70630/justin-goes-back-to-basic-training.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=k4_6cu_Ix_o:CzxczffR1Sc:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/k4_6cu_Ix_o" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70630/justin-goes-back-to-basic-training.html jsmithco98@hotmail.com (Justin B.

When it comes to HIV, it is really important that one keeps their stress levels down and, unfortunately, it has been harder for me than not. I've decided to not let anything or anyone stress me out and if that means cutting people out of my life completely or putting them in another category, so be it. I also emphasize to always look after your own health. I've decided to go to bed earlier, drink less and really try to quit smoking.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70629/justin-learns-to-relax.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=csJhDBzNVfw:xI2U3MLjoF4:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/csJhDBzNVfw" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70629/justin-learns-to-relax.html jsmithco98@hotmail.com (Justin B.

We have some ups and downs to reflect on when it comes to infection rates. For example, the infection rates among <a href="http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2012/12/19/rate-of-new-hiv-infections-drops-for-first-time-among-black-women-cdc" target="blank">Black women nationally</a> dropped between 2008 and 2010.

Young Black gay men still have the highest infection rates among homosexual men, even though studies have shown that they are no more promiscuous than other gay men. And heterosexual Black men remain absent from the conversation. In short, we still have a lot of work to do to get to the core of this issue. There are a myriad of items to consider when it comes to AIDS in the Black community.

Call it what you want: arrogance, Christian elitism, whatever! But this strong feeling of dislike became worse after I went public with AIDS. Everybody had the solution to my problem. Often they'd start the sentence with, "You know the Lord can heal you of AIDS."</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70346/people-always-trying-to-tell-me-that-god-can-heal-.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=s8f2yauE4bk:d_nROwTCaQQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/s8f2yauE4bk" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70346/people-always-trying-to-tell-me-that-god-can-heal-.html rae@raelewisthornton.com (Rae Lewis-Thornton) Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:07:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/70346/people-always-trying-to-tell-me-that-god-can-heal-.html Take a Photo and Be Part of the No Shame About Being HIV Positive Campaign! http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/mhpRT-DHj8c/take-a-photo-and-be-part-of-the-no-shame-about-bei.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/kevin_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Kevin Maloney" align="right">This is a campaign inspired by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=460786700648810&set=a.445611775499636.105360.191006750960141&type=1&theater&notif_t=like" target="_blank">Chelsea Clinton raising awareness</a> by holding a simple sign for the <a href="http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/" target="_blank">Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria</a>.

Living with HIV since 2003, he was diagnosed on St. Patrick's Day, and views that "lucky" day as the moment he began to live. In June of 2011, he was featured on CNN, commemorating 30 years of HIV/AIDS. Coming Out with his status has shifted the isolation, stigma, discrimination, and judgement that has accompanied his journey with the virus. Through this courageous and necessary action, more love, support, friendship, health, and abundance has graced his life. He is the vision behind Bless Your Virus, a movement and conversation aimed to inform and inspire. Its mission is to: Deconstruct shame, stigma and secrets, spread compassion, courage, connection, kindness and kinship and teach others a mindfulness as they learn to bless their fear, disease, and virus. 4.Speak the C Word (cure).</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70397/alexander-smith--bless-your-virus.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=K1td_ci0ZC4:bluIJMVGI5Y:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/K1td_ci0ZC4" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70397/alexander-smith--bless-your-virus.html Robert@poziam.com (Robert Breining) Sat, 19 Jan 2013 17:16:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/70397/alexander-smith--bless-your-virus.html Cocktail Anyone?

I hear that there are people out there who want to spread HIV and others who are looking to get infected with HIV on purpose. I have been diagnosed with HIV for about one year now and I had to go on meds because I didn't know I had it for so long. I hate taking them, but I know I have to in order to survive. I don't know anyone who would want to go through anything that I go through or anything you go through, either. I just don't get it. Can you give me some insight?<br>-- Ali</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70270/advice-column-bug-chasers-gift-givers.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=Bmsa6hTgOL4:pbG1ucJgAnE:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/Bmsa6hTgOL4" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70270/advice-column-bug-chasers-gift-givers.html jsmithco98@hotmail.com (Justin B.

I find myself, still basking in last week's Word about the 3 wise men, who entered the house and encountered the Christ child and Mary, bowing before Christ and offering up their gifts. I wonder what gifts the wise ones in the community will offer today, while understanding that just their presence is enough.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70269/god-is-trying-to-tell-you-something.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=GprJcJgDako:Z3quJdU5TYA:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/GprJcJgDako" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70269/god-is-trying-to-tell-you-something.html aftertheribbon@gmail.com (Rev.

It wasn't constant but it truly was a rollercoaster of emotions including the vicarious traumatization within the community in which I serve. </p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70232/a-year-of-hard-lessons--and-a-merry-new-year.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=Lz0j5q4aCeQ:DYNazcgWAAk:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/Lz0j5q4aCeQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70232/a-year-of-hard-lessons--and-a-merry-new-year.html t.alexander4health@yahoo.com (Tree Alexander) Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:31:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/70232/a-year-of-hard-lessons--and-a-merry-new-year.html Being HIV+ with an HIV- Partner Comes With Some Challenges http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/jEWLPsPm5rA/being-hiv-with-an-hiv-partner-comes-with-some-chal.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/jeannie_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Jeannie Wraight" align="right">When it comes to relationships, some HIV positive people have a clear cut policy on the serostatus of potential partners.

Of the four relationships I've had since the person I became positive from, only one was HIV positive.

I have a box of condoms in my own bedside dresser, and carry around a few with me in my bag at any time. No, not only for myself. I give them out to friends, acquaintances, anyone who asks me for one. The use of condoms has increased significantly since the genesis of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s to the point where they are ubiquitous in all supermarkets and discount department stores. One day, I hope to see them moved out of stores, divorced from the marketplace, and made available, free-of-charge, everywhere. They should be subsidized by a government that cares about the preventative health of its citizens.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70220/porn-stars-vs-high-schoolers-who-needs-condoms-mor.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=i_ZlohyGUx4:V7AVI5X2GQ4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=i_ZlohyGUx4:V7AVI5X2GQ4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=i_ZlohyGUx4:V7AVI5X2GQ4:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=i_ZlohyGUx4:V7AVI5X2GQ4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=i_ZlohyGUx4:V7AVI5X2GQ4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=i_ZlohyGUx4:V7AVI5X2GQ4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=i_ZlohyGUx4:V7AVI5X2GQ4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=i_ZlohyGUx4:V7AVI5X2GQ4:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/i_ZlohyGUx4" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70220/porn-stars-vs-high-schoolers-who-needs-condoms-mor.html Thu, 10 Jan 2013 10:44:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/70220/porn-stars-vs-high-schoolers-who-needs-condoms-mor.html A Holiday Letter From Positive Women Leaders in the U.S. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/nkcfSFUKc-k/a-holiday-letter-from-positive-women-leaders-in-th.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/pwn_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="U.S. Positive Women's Network" align="right">As 2012 ends and 2013 begins, we are thankful for the incredible blessings and abundance this past year has brought.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70216/a-holiday-letter-from-positive-women-leaders-in-th.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nkcfSFUKc-k:iH0RaRhX14A:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nkcfSFUKc-k:iH0RaRhX14A:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nkcfSFUKc-k:iH0RaRhX14A:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nkcfSFUKc-k:iH0RaRhX14A:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nkcfSFUKc-k:iH0RaRhX14A:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nkcfSFUKc-k:iH0RaRhX14A:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nkcfSFUKc-k:iH0RaRhX14A:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nkcfSFUKc-k:iH0RaRhX14A:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/nkcfSFUKc-k" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70216/a-holiday-letter-from-positive-women-leaders-in-th.html Tue, 8 Jan 2013 23:36:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/70216/a-holiday-letter-from-positive-women-leaders-in-th.html "Stop Poppin' That Thang!" http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/9ZziOtQPc0A/stop-poppin-that-thang.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/andrena_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Rev.

James Breinig lives in southern NJ. James is 29 years old and on November 2, 2010 He thought his life was over. He tested positive for HIV at the Washington West Project in Philadelphia. Not knowing a lot about the disease, He was convinced his life from that point on would be one of pain and suffering. A little over two years later his life has absolutely changed for the better! As time went on he felt that he really wanted to share his story. Not because it is Hollywood material but because it is very similar to a lot of other HIV positive individuals. His hope is that it will touch someone newly diagnosed or someone who has been living with it for years, who may be afraid to tell anyone, and to let them know they're going to be okay.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70250/james-breinig--the-power-of-sharing-stories.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=IuLSQIROE00:mDaloLIiC4Y:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/IuLSQIROE00" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70250/james-breinig--the-power-of-sharing-stories.html Robert@poziam.com (Robert Breining) Mon, 7 Jan 2013 15:03:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/70250/james-breinig--the-power-of-sharing-stories.html Ken Warnock: "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/6obPe3tTGio/ken-warnock--dont-ask-dont-tell.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/robert_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Robert Breining" align="right">On Sunday December 16th Ken Warnock shared his story on the POZ I AM Radio Show.

After the Navy, Ken used his military training as a Surgical Technologist to gain employment upon his return home to Michigan.

I found a clearing in a wooded area where I live and sat in the earth. I meditated and felt as if they were here with me. I want to tell them and you all that they will not be forgotten. I will always hold a candle for them, I will always run the AIDS Walk/5K Run, and I will always remember.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70152/fox-5-news-world-aids-day-2012-interview.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=WBgMWz1d0yU:r8k5uxxOgfQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/WBgMWz1d0yU" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70152/fox-5-news-world-aids-day-2012-interview.html jsmithco98@hotmail.com (Justin B.

Sadly, there are few surprises. With a total of 1,412,791 cases, <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> infection remains the STD leader. This figure is the largest number of cases ever reported to CDC for any condition and represents an increase of 8.0% compared with the rate in 2010. The national gonorrhea rate increased as well after over a decade of fluctuation and/or decline. However, the greatest concern about the "clap," as we used to call it, is its increasing resistance to the medications commonly used to treat it, cephalosporins and azithromycin.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/70150/compulsory-sexual-education.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=sOQaubEufiY:LkV-gQKB7cI:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/sOQaubEufiY" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/70150/compulsory-sexual-education.html garyb@bebashi.org (Gary Bell) Mon, 24 Dec 2012 08:00:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/70150/compulsory-sexual-education.html 31 Weeks Pregnant and Climbing http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/tDHWbnsIuiM/31-weeks-pregnant-and-climbing.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/teniecka_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Teniecka Drake" align="right">This has been quite a journey again with my fourth child.

It is a time of learning and discovery. For many, it is also a time for sexual exploration. Adolescents in 2012 have lived their entire lives with the HIV epidemic. They may have learned about it in health class, read about it on the Internet, or perhaps learned that someone close to them has been infected. Now, imagine that at age 15 or 16 you are told that you are HIV positive, not because you became infected through risky behavior, but because you have had it all of your life. More troubling: what if you have been sexually active before you found out?</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/69737/preventing-hiv-transmission-with-youth-infected-at.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=ctvIt6b0VUw:BkJDbJEQjyk:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/ctvIt6b0VUw" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/69737/preventing-hiv-transmission-with-youth-infected-at.html garyb@bebashi.org (Gary Bell) Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:35:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/69737/preventing-hiv-transmission-with-youth-infected-at.html Jeff Allen: Positive Champions http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/rbHCkBc2fKg/jeff-allen-positive-champions.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/robert_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Robert Breining" align="right">On Sunday, Nov. 11 at 9 p.m. EST we spoke with activist Jeff Allen on the <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/poziam/2012/10/08/jeff-allen--positive-champions" target="_blank">POZ I AM Radio Show</a>. Jeff Allen tested positive in 1985. He was a drug addict using heroin and cocaine and was reckless in his behavior. Jeff was homeless and living in his car for more than two months. Jeff lived in Key West with his partner of 12 years where the HIV community was small and compact. When it came to the end of his partner's life, Jeff wanted to leave and go where he was not so well known. After his partner's passing Jeff moved to Deland, Fla. right outside the Daytona Beach area. He was very frail and weak, but needed a purpose in his life. This is when Jeff first started volunteering for HIV/AIDS organizations in 1995.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/69843/jeff-allen-positive-champions.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=rbHCkBc2fKg:bjZ1Z3le1ks:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/rbHCkBc2fKg" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/69843/jeff-allen-positive-champions.html Robert@poziam.com (Robert Breining) Sun, 11 Nov 2012 08:00:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/69843/jeff-allen-positive-champions.html Naked Before God http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/LwvnfRYwubo/naked-before-god.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/rthornton_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Rae Lewis-Thornton" align="right">Last night I had a complete and total meltdown.

We have been friends for sixteen years and it was back in high school that we met. We dated briefly but we decided to become friends and plus he was gay -- LOL. But the reason why I'm writing you is because he found out a couple of months ago that he was HIV-positive. When he told me I broke down and cried; we cried together for at least an hour. After that he started going out to clubs a lot and stopped calling as often. I visited him and I have never seen his house look so dirty. Dust was everywhere and he looked like hell and obviously wasn't taking care of himself. I want to know what I should do.

However, if the bully thinks he or she has been seen through, that serves to inflame their hatred in a sort of reverse psychology and the situation can become worse. This occasionally leads to what's known as cyber stalking. This most often applies to public figures and celebrities but many HIV-positive people have been the victims of hate campaigns and continued pestering. The bully can apparently find ways to recruit others to his/her cause and uses technology to track the victim's every Internet movement. This can be very alarming, especially if you feel you're being watched at all times -- a classic symptom of being stalked. Upsetting cases have led to exposure in the victim's work environment, as rumors and half truths are spread amongst unwitting colleagues at work. Once in the open, as we all know, Pandora's Box can never be closed. In the end, no reaction at all to the original tweet or comment may be the safest option, however angry or upset you may feel.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/69110/self-protection-against-cyber-haters-and-other-bul.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=nn_6b2qOPMw:OUUkD0K1w7M:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/nn_6b2qOPMw" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/69110/self-protection-against-cyber-haters-and-other-bul.html drew50@chello.nl (Dave R.)

That said, the first hate mail that hit my inbox shocked me more than I expected. I almost gave up blogging there and then; the hurt was both unexpected and unjust and I had to take several breaths and remind myself that this happens millions of times a day across the world. Then I wondered why people feel the need to vent their hatred on the Internet and what could be done about it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/69109/140-ways-to-hate--just-one-to-despair.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=wSKeZBT8-tQ:Hrzbe8Cn63U:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/wSKeZBT8-tQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/69109/140-ways-to-hate--just-one-to-despair.html drew50@chello.nl (Dave R.)

The group which I had facilitated for several years consisted of ten to twelve gay men of all ages, most of whom were HIV negative. That night I mentioned a new service for people living with HIV and one man asked, "Why do the positive guys get everything? What about us negative guys?" Another group member spoke up about poz friends who were eligible for all kinds of support. He was indignant that he had been laid off, was struggling and, unlike "them," lacked access to community services such as food banks and housing assistance. Someone else expressed annoyance, and a fourth growled his protest. A strong and divisive vein of anger within the gay community had been exposed.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/69079/the-dark-side-of-poz-envy.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=JMYJUXjrbsg:rsI3MzkkM1I:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/JMYJUXjrbsg" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/69079/the-dark-side-of-poz-envy.html davidfawcett@earthlink.net (David Fawcett, Ph.D., L.C.S.W.)

The Commonwealth's new law now allows for an individual to give verbal informed consent before receiving an HIV test. Until the law took effect on July 26, 2012 (again with little fanfare or media note), Massachusetts was one of only two states that had mandated written consent, a testing model which many clinicians and testing advocates, myself included, believed posed a barrier to testing.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/69056/start-where-you-are-use-what-you-have-do-what-you-.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=gQ4meEnk5Qg:M9BKVxSOJlE:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/gQ4meEnk5Qg" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/69056/start-where-you-are-use-what-you-have-do-what-you-.html AccidentalActivist1@gmail.com (Ed Perlmutter) Mon, 10 Sep 2012 17:38:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/69056/start-where-you-are-use-what-you-have-do-what-you-.html Justin and Phil Become Foster/Adoption Parents (Pozitive Parents) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/KfHqBrlPxzE/justin--phil-become-fosteradoption-parents-pozitiv.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/jsmith_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Justin B.

People of course think when they are being diagnosed with HIV is that their first thought is that they are going to die, NOT I. I very first thought that made me cry was that I wasn't going to be able to have any children. At the time I didn't know about sperm cleansing at all. I felt like I was damaged goods and I thought I would never have the feeling of being a good father. With the feelings that came with my HIV diagnosis, also went the feelings that I would ever hear anyone call me Dad. After my diagnosis the idea of being a father just went away because I didn't feel like I could ever do it while being HIV positive.

The Stigma Project seeks to create an HIV neutral world, free of judgement and fear by working with both positive and negative individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race or background. Social media has rapidly become one of today's largest mediums of news, culture and education.

I always longed to be a part of something big and eventually around six years old I decided on being a doctor when I grew up. I never faltered from that dream till this day. I was kind of a rebel, not in a sense of what most of my peers were doing, i.e. sneaking out of the house or what my southern people call "fast". After all I was the granddaughter of a preacher and my grandmother was saved so my morals were something I always had. I was more interested in books and expanding my knowledge than boys. But I most definitely had an issue with any kind of authority despite my standards and expectations others had for me. I always felt that I had to set an example for my siblings being the oldest. I never knew understood then, what I know now; that my higher power had a plan for me from the beginning.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/67598/the-beginning-of-a-new-me.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=d2rth2ZuAgA:V2ofAPqDrV4:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/d2rth2ZuAgA" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/67598/the-beginning-of-a-new-me.html lyfepositive@aol.com (Ria Denise) Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:45:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/67598/the-beginning-of-a-new-me.html Hope Is Cure for HIV http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/TdW4amjiy5I/hope-is-cure-for-hiv.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/reggie_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Reggie Smith" align="right">A cure for HIV now seems more feasible because the world can visualize it. Although it is probably more appropriate to call what has happened in the person of Timothy Brown a "sustained virological response", like we do with Hep C, the fact that a human being seems to have been cleared of the HIV retrovirus is indeed promising. That is especially true for those who have had a hard time believing that it would ever be possible. Many of us, including myself, have had to make ourselves believe that a cure is possible and that healing is available to those who seek it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68756/hope-is-cure-for-hiv.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=TdW4amjiy5I:F824YrPijvk:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/TdW4amjiy5I" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68756/hope-is-cure-for-hiv.html participate@RISE4war.com (Reggie Smith) Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:16:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/68756/hope-is-cure-for-hiv.html Living With HIV: Are We "Damaged Goods"? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/uR2kGzpem0c/living-with-hiv-are-we-damaged-goods.html <p><IMG SRC="http://img.thebody.com/images/mugs/david_blogbox.gif" border="0" WIDTH="115" HEIGHT="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" ALT="David Fawcett, Ph.D., L.C.S.W." align="right">Todd sat slumped on the sofa in my office. He avoided eye contact and described a particularly painful experience with stigma. He had recently come around the corner at his part-time job and heard several co-workers speaking about him and his HIV positive status. More specifically, they were discussing how he might have acquired the virus by speculating about the nature and frequency of his sexual activities. It was meant as a cheap laugh among themselves, but for Todd it meant much more. Although he made no effort to hide his HIV status and was "out" at the office about being gay, hearing his co-workers making disparaging remarks about his sex life and his health status in such explicit terms felt like a strong punch in his gut. He had a brief flash of anger, telling them to shut up, and then stormed out, pulling inward and automatically falling into the old habit of numbing himself by detaching from the emotional pain.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68755/living-with-hiv-are-we-damaged-goods.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=uR2kGzpem0c:2ebVwZIcO50:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/uR2kGzpem0c" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68755/living-with-hiv-are-we-damaged-goods.html davidfawcett@earthlink.net (David Fawcett, Ph.D., L.C.S.W.)

It was a hard decision to not have children but I made it. Having such a rocky entrance into this world and an even rockier childhood I had some very clear ideas about how children should be brought into this world. My bottom line: Bring children into the world when your circumstances permit. I wasn't really opposed to being a single parent, but if I was struggling to put food on the table, well then my circumstances didn't permit. I've been a one-woman show since I was a senior in high school, when I got put out for being 15 minutes late for curfew, 12:15. Mama said, "Go back where you just came from bitch," and I've been putting bread on my table ever since.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68853/sophies-mommie.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=VoPSx-OswVs:mUZV4Rqdhxw:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/VoPSx-OswVs" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68853/sophies-mommie.html rae@raelewisthornton.com (Rae Lewis-Thornton) Wed, 15 Aug 2012 06:55:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/68853/sophies-mommie.html Living in the Impossible ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/T3N7BVa_LDI/living-in-the-impossible-.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/rthornton_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Rae Lewis-Thornton" align="right">Since I made that transition to AIDS in 1992 it seems like I've lived in the impossible.

I am traveling back home to Peoria, Illinois after over a week in Washington, D.C., for the 2012 International AIDS Conference. I am sad to say that I did not even come CLOSE to doing, seeing, or learning all that I wanted to learn at AIDS 2012. That being said, I am full. Full of love for my fellow warriors, full of energy to battle my local community that continues to ignore the national movement and recognition that including those living with HIV strengthens their programs and gives them insight they would not otherwise have. And I am full of new information with which to drive points home when I am having conversations about HIV/AIDS. I am more armed with facts about the role of violence and trauma and the ways they intersect with HIV, I know more about the role and importance of drug users and sex workers in the conversation, and I know a lot more about condoms (doing a little inside cheer on that one!)!</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68762/aids-2012-reflections-i-am-empowered-i-am-driven-i.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=clk0A0N2xu0:-U8Dd-RaR2g:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=clk0A0N2xu0:-U8Dd-RaR2g:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=clk0A0N2xu0:-U8Dd-RaR2g:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=clk0A0N2xu0:-U8Dd-RaR2g:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=clk0A0N2xu0:-U8Dd-RaR2g:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=clk0A0N2xu0:-U8Dd-RaR2g:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=clk0A0N2xu0:-U8Dd-RaR2g:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=clk0A0N2xu0:-U8Dd-RaR2g:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/clk0A0N2xu0" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68762/aids-2012-reflections-i-am-empowered-i-am-driven-i.html Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:45:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/68762/aids-2012-reflections-i-am-empowered-i-am-driven-i.html Are There More ...

There was plenty of buzz about his lack of action on health issues and much speculation about a tumultuous relationship with the director of the Department of <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/hivaids" target="_blank">HIV/AIDS</a>, Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Dr. Shannon Hader (<a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/dr-hader-has-her-say-part-two-an-exclusive-interview">click here </a>to read her interview). Dr. Vigilance, 42, admits that there were disagreements along the way but he harbors no ill feelings about anyone or any of the experiences during his tenure. He is now a visiting professor for public health practice at George Washington University. </p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68488/dr-pierre-vigilance-demystified--part-two.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=1csMzgXeuXg:nns0tYjLs2E:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/1csMzgXeuXg" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68488/dr-pierre-vigilance-demystified--part-two.html writeoncm@gmail.com (Candace Y.A.

Department of Health</a> in 2008. But there was this wall around him and each brick was a negative adjective about his character. He's a bully. He's pretentious. He's arrogant, aloof, apathetic and another "a" word that I'm not allowed to use on this site. Eventually, I moved on. But I finally got my chance to interview him a few weeks ago. I braced myself for an interview with the "big bad wolf" who might still be a tad bitter. However, the man who met me did not fit that description. I interviewed a man who was warm, relaxed, unabridged, and attentive (which is a nicer "a" word to describe him). </p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68487/dr-pierre-vigilance-demystified--part-one.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=2naycpLbyvI:epqOD97u1M8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/2naycpLbyvI" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68487/dr-pierre-vigilance-demystified--part-one.html writeoncm@gmail.com (Candace Y.A.

It is an enormous space, filled with people, language, culture, and connection. It's the place where our communities come together and network with each other. It's where we connect; we recharge our emotional batteries, and learn together about how we are all fighting across the globe to bring about changes in this epidemic. The Global Village is a space filled with booths and exhibits and vendors from around the globe. There are also some stages where performances would be happening at all hours of the day by groups and artists from every corner of the world. It was truly an overwhelming experience to come down there for the first time during this conference and find that the whole world had converged upon one large room to share ideas and learn from one another.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68763/the-global-village-effect.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=lMPEMCYCK3M:GUiVn7uYpgo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=lMPEMCYCK3M:GUiVn7uYpgo:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=lMPEMCYCK3M:GUiVn7uYpgo:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=lMPEMCYCK3M:GUiVn7uYpgo:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=lMPEMCYCK3M:GUiVn7uYpgo:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=lMPEMCYCK3M:GUiVn7uYpgo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=lMPEMCYCK3M:GUiVn7uYpgo:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=lMPEMCYCK3M:GUiVn7uYpgo:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/lMPEMCYCK3M" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68763/the-global-village-effect.html Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:45:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/68763/the-global-village-effect.html Recognize, Prioritize and Formalize Grassroots Caregivers http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/W6daRap-ywY/recognize-prioritize-and-formalize-grassroots-care.html <p>After witnessing the devastating effects that HIV/AIDS had on their communities in Africa in the 1980s, and experiencing the multiple stresses that come with caring for someone on their deathbed, home-based caregivers recognized the need to combine their efforts, resources and expertise into a broader movement. They created the Home Based Care Alliance, which today represents over 31,000 volunteer caregivers in 11 African countries. The Alliance enables those groups that are already performing home-based care to gain recognition and self-representation at the local, national and international levels. Collectively, they are calling on their governments to recognize their crucial role in community development, to include them in policy design, to increase and redirect funding to the ground, and to establish an official role for home-based caregivers in international AIDS programs.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68766/recognize-prioritize-and-formalize-grassroots-care.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=W6daRap-ywY:-JVFQjDlQeY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=W6daRap-ywY:-JVFQjDlQeY:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=W6daRap-ywY:-JVFQjDlQeY:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=W6daRap-ywY:-JVFQjDlQeY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=W6daRap-ywY:-JVFQjDlQeY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=W6daRap-ywY:-JVFQjDlQeY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=W6daRap-ywY:-JVFQjDlQeY:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=W6daRap-ywY:-JVFQjDlQeY:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/W6daRap-ywY" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68766/recognize-prioritize-and-formalize-grassroots-care.html Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:45:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/68766/recognize-prioritize-and-formalize-grassroots-care.html Sore Arms, No Voice but a Full Heart -- the "We Can End AIDS" March in Washington, D.C. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/WdqEP7orUu4/sore-arms-no-voice-but-a-full-heart--the-we-can-en.html <p>I came to D.C. totally prepared for the "We Can End AIDS" mobilization, I had my blue fabric to wave, my sensible shoes and even a water bottle.

And we know that the rates are so high they are actually on the same level as some sub-Saharan African countries. During the International AIDS Conference last week, I witnessed six brilliant examples of what the community can do with some planning and persistence. The <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/march-on-washington/articles" target="_blank">March on Washington</a> and The We Can End AIDS (WCEA) Mobilization, which included five marches converging into one, shut things down. But I noticed that there were many people who came to the march from out of town and they were not attending the conference.

You can tell from the first few sentences she softly utters that she is a mother. And a caring one at that. She peacefully works on a quilt for a fallen angel from Chicago who loved shopping and music. I asked her if she thought of the idea for this quilt square. She humbly replied "his spirit told me what to do here". Her name is Ms. Michelle and she hails from Seattle. Her son works on Capitol Hill with one of the members of Congress. She came at his request to lend a hand and maybe some of her matronly love to the quilt. She expressed her dismay that <b>out of 54 miles of quilt squares, only one half a mile is dedicated to African Americans.</b></p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68305/a-moment-with-ms-michelle-the-quilter-at-aids-2012.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=_epfvrazWfE:6xT0hHasxe8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/_epfvrazWfE" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68305/a-moment-with-ms-michelle-the-quilter-at-aids-2012.html writeoncm@gmail.com (Candace Y.A.

He struggled to maintain his composure but broke down several times throughout the ceremony. I spoke with him and the woman he has escorting later on. His name was Bob Bowers also known as One Tough Pirate. It turns out he's an activist for <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/youth" target="blank">youth</a> with HIV. He was infected at age 19 from sharing needles with his girlfriend. Now he speaks up and out for like himself who are living with HIV. He and his wife traveled here from Madison, Wisconsin to be at this ceremony. I asked him who he was crying for specifically. He gave me an earful of a story.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68303/a-moment-with-one-bad-pirate-at-aids-2012.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=ohvnIhgdWGQ:6VmgLdgbZko:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/ohvnIhgdWGQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/68303/a-moment-with-one-bad-pirate-at-aids-2012.html writeoncm@gmail.com (Candace Y.A.

I spent some time in the exhibit hall critiquing the fashions (and the issues) of various attendees with fashion maven Jack Mackenroth; started a YouTube rivalry with inspirational singer Jamar Rogers ("The Voice"); and learned about HIV again from an expert with UK HIV organization the Terrence Higgins Trust. And, with all the talk at the conference about the devastating effects of HIV stigma, I found validation of my own HIV status in the unlikeliest of places: the Gallery Place subway station. </p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/68087/day-two-at-aids-2012-singers-stigma-and-subways.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=-NNkUldxn6k:kp2SlHalSWs:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/-NNkUldxn6k" height="1" width="1"/> Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:05:00 GMT mark@marksking.com (Mark S.

Instead he will send a video message. Some critics say that this is a bad move on his part. The chance to meet and greet hundreds of foreign dignitaries and leading researchers at a conference about a disease that is affecting millions around the world is a prime opportunity. This kind of move can be viewed as bad politics. However, <em>this </em>Examiner would like to point out a few important details that show that President Obama is not exactly ignoring AIDS like one would assume because of this absence.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/67988/aids-2012-update-president-obamas-absence-is-not-a.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=wJ6hXZ1Sku0:xHEMXKt_bCo:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/wJ6hXZ1Sku0" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/67988/aids-2012-update-president-obamas-absence-is-not-a.html writeoncm@gmail.com (Candace Y.A.

I'm talking about more prone to taking risks and thus more susceptible to becoming infected. Sure, we know all about vulnerable populations, social determinants of health and all that, which are often fingered as the culprits in HIV infections. But let's face it; the reality is that many, many people from vulnerable populations and with ALL the social determinants of health looking pretty good DON'T get infected.

So I did what I always do and disclosed my serostatus. He panicked, and I ended up going home confused and frustrated.

I must apologize to those of you who have been following me. The last three months have been the most challenging time I have had in years. I have to share with you all that in November 2009 I decided to follow what I believe my God has purposed for my life. That purpose is to use my professional and personal life story to speak, share, write, educate, advocate full time on the battlefield against the pandemic of HIV/AIDS. For me, what that means is devoting all of my time and attention to <a href="http://www.cycleforfreedom.org" target="_blank">Cycle for Freedom</a>, public speaking, writing for The.Body.com, as well as attempting to self-publish <I>Cornbread, Fish and Collard Greens: Prayers, Poems & Affirmation for People Living with HIV/AIDS</I>. All of this has come with great personal sacrifice. My employment is my activism and thus far what has been generated I am grateful for, however it has not allowed for personal sustainability.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/67882/activism-and-its-consequences.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=8GM4RLBZtg0:SfWYh-V4veA:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/8GM4RLBZtg0" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/67882/activism-and-its-consequences.html FreedomRider2011@gmail.com (Khafre Abif) Tue, 17 Jul 2012 08:28:00 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/67882/activism-and-its-consequences.html AIDS 2012 Update: Youth Activities at the Conference http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~3/KOAhJ0Qwrdc/aids-2012-update-youth-activities-at-the-conferenc.html <p><img src="http://www.thebody.com/images/blog/candace_biobox.gif" width="115" height="145" hspace="8" vspace="8" alt="Candace Y.A.

I am able to see where you all come from, and am grateful for you taking the time to peek in, even if you don't make your presence known ... you are reading, you are seeing life through my eyes and my life experience, through MY context. I should also add, that this blog is not <i>entirely</i> for the Christian community, but for those who are seeking information about HIV/AIDS. I may post sermons or God stuff up in here every once in awhile, but HIV/AIDS reaches a larger audience. I will not force theology and religion down people's throats, who are living with this disease and have been hurt by the church, judged by the church, and condemned by the church.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/67746/ive-got-a-life.html">Read more ...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?a=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThebodycomBlogCentral?i=KH_CLngVT3k:nvX-DgiMXTQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThebodycomBlogCentral/~4/KH_CLngVT3k" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.thebody.com/content/67746/ive-got-a-life.html aftertheribbon@gmail.com (Rev.

He was sentenced to 25 years in prison and lifetime sex offender registration. After a year of total incarceration, the judge reconsidered Nick's sentence and released him on five years probation, as well as the sex offender registration requirement.

It didn't matter what season it was my face would look like a pizza for a week's time. So after a week went by I started to see the redness grow from my nose to my cheeks. I got a little worried because this had never happened to me before. The infection was really gross, it was red scaly and dry and in some cases there would be little pimples that would show up in the redness.
