Dealing Sensibly With Reducing HIV Transmission Among Gay Men
A buddy and I have a guest opinion article published in this week’s San Francisco Bay Area Reporter. It’s time we more fully embrace medical approaches to reducing HIV transmissions and take a serious, second look at potentially outdated models of prevention.
Check out the article and let me know your thoughts.

I think that since science has given lives back to the HIV infected all over the world, we should trust science to lead the way to an improved means of HIV prevention (short of a successful vaccine), which I think has been pretty well supported by the facts. While PrEP is not a panacea (and it’s proponents don’t claim it to be such), it is scientifically sound and worthy of further study to judge efficacy.
Being very liberal politically, I do hesitate at the thought of the big money pharmaceutical companies reaping exponentially more rewards for a drug that has already been developed and approved; but the benefits of PrEP hugely outweighs that concern.
Knowing what I know now, if I was negative, I would be FIGHTING for PrEP.
