SEX ON PREP IS SAFE SEX. SAFER – FOR HIV PREVENTION – THAN SEX WITH A CONDOM. SEX WHILE UNDETECTABLE IS SAFE SEX.

Fuck. All. Of. This.

@nytimes as a scientist and scholar, this is incorrect, disingenuous, and dangerous.

@nytimes PLEASE read this thing I wrote about PrEP, the science, the stats, and how it is helping those of us who grew up in the aftermath of HIV recover and imagine ourselves WHOLE

@nytimes PLEASE read this other thing I wrote about the generational trauma of HIV in the gay community, WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF AMNESIA

@nytimes OR MAYBE you can read this long form essay I wrote about life BEFORE PrEP and the fear of HIV in our most intimate moments.

Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, more than 70 million people have acquired the infection, and about 35 million people have died.
Today, around 37 million worldwide live with #HIV, of whom 22 million are on treatment #WorldAIDSDay bit.ly/2QwO8HW
The #HIV virus 🦠 was first isolated by Dr Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Dr Luc Montagnier in 1983 at the @institutpasteur #WorldAIDSDay bit.ly/2QwO8HW
At the beginning of the 1980s, before #HIV had been identified as the cause of AIDS, the infection was thought to only affect specific groups, such as gay men in developed countries and people who inject drugs #WorldAIDSDay bit.ly/2QwO8HW

Good Morning. I'm guessing we all want to enjoy good sex? So today, I want to share with you the many ways that you can minimise negative outcomes that can happen when people have sex -
First of all, I think we should acknowledge that in Ireland, our historical and cultural attitudes towards sex and sexual health have not been always healthy ones. I think many of us experienced shame and judgement for wanting intimacy and desire.
Let's look at having agency over your own body, the right to choose a sexual health strategy that works for you. There's no 'one size fits all' when it comes to looking after your sexual health, each person is different.

When I first heard that people living with HIV on effective treatment cannot pass on #HIV to sexual partners. I had trouble trying to get my head around it. Because it challenged the status quo and decades of beliefs I had about #HIV
I read up on the science behind the claim. In the PARTNER study, there were ZERO transmissions out of 58,000 condomless sex acts between people with HIV on effective treatment who had undetectable viral loads and their HIV negative partners. Undetectable equals Untransmittable
In the PARTNER 2, which was the extension of PARTNER and studied men who have sex with men, there were ZERO transmissions out of 77,000 condomless sex acts between people with HIV on effective treatment with undetectable viral loads and their HIV negative partners. #UequalsU

I want to share something personal with you. It's important to tell you, because it motivated me to have more compassion for people living with #HIV, pushed me to test regularly and to get involved with #ACTUP - It started with a mistake..
A few years ago, after a stable relationship had finished. I was feeling quite low. I went out with friends and tried to have fun. I got chatting to someone over a few drinks and before we knew it, we were back at my place. I wanted intimacy and passion back in my life
Generally, my prevention method has been to use condoms, but we got carried away. I didn't say anything about using a condom and neither did they. Next morning, mid-hangover the fear started to creep over me. Had I put myself at risk of getting #HIV?

I have access to Truvada — #PrEP, a pill that dramatically reduces the risk of HIV transmission — through my health insurance, and I am grateful to have that, and the regular STI testing that my health care provider does as part of it, available to me.
Because Truvada is such an expensive drug, though, many do not have access to it. Still others lack health care providers with the knowledge or supportive practice to recommend it. (Read more about the costs and an effort to fight them: slate.com/human-interest…)
I’m talking about my use of PrEP to encourage openness about sexual health — and also to encourage people to learn about PrEP if you’re a sexually active queer person or otherwise at heightened risk for HIV. (This education is needed; read this: buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/…)
