My Aunts Work
I wanted to share one of my Aunts paintings, she is doing some really great work. Janice Kimball lives and works in Chapala, Mexico and runs the Kimball Gallery there. You can see more of her work at http://www.mexconnect.com/amex/jk/ .
Radio Spot
Pissed off
I was heading to group the other night and this radio spot came on. I had heard it before and it pissed me off, but this time I heard the whole thing. The spot has the HIV virus speaking to you in a seductive and very threatening voice. It goes on to say how it is stalking you, creeping around and other vile scary things. I believe that the radio spot is very dangerous in that it demonizes HIV positive folk, making us out to be stalkers and lurkers.
It’s a shame that one of the co-sponsors is MAPP (http://www.aidsprevention.org/), an agency that I respect for the work that they do. The other co-sponsor is the Michigan Department of Community Health, I know some very good people there too. If you hear the spot and it disturbs you as much as it does me, please let the sponsors hear from you.

Treatment Guidelines updated, adults with over 350T-cells can wait to start therapy until viral load over 100,000. A very good article Post Exsposure Prophylaxis and sex, a must read. Check the issue out.
