Hiv - Blog Posts
Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.
Watching this little fucker on Netflix got my brain on fire, been roped into a nostalgia wave, really missing the things I grew up with. Growing up queer in a queer household gave me the opportunity to see gems like Jeffrey, To Wong Foo, Priscilla (Queen of the Desert), Nowhere (a Gregg Araki film, wonderfully dingy and insane). I really miss those days like a child misses summer.
If you haven’t heard of it, go watch Jeffrey! It’s a wonderful queer comedy about Manhattan in the height of the AIDs crisis, and the title character’s journey to accept things about himself despite his fears of breaking his self-imposed celibacy.
avoiding the old poz guy
Rick was a 24 year old top. He liked to fuck guys his own age. Very much into himself. He would tease older men with the promise that he would bottom bareback for them. Letting them text their fantasies on Grindr. Even trading nude pics. One guy in particular an older man named Gus, at age 56 was diagnosed with HIV. And put on meds to help make him undetectable. However the meds didn’t work on this particular HIV variant. Gus wanted to be able to fuck but didn’t want to let anyone know he was positive. Rick would flirt with Gus. Promising him he could shoot his loads deep into his ass. Gus grew frustrated with Rick. When he kept avoiding hooking up. That would change. One Sunday night Gus and Rick were at a bar. Gus spotted him. And went over to say hi. Rick recognized Gus. And they engaged in small talk. Gus even brought Rick a drink. Unknown to Rick. Gus put a roofie into it. Gus got Rick out of the bar and into his car. Taking him to his house.Gus put Rick on the couch and undressed him. Then he undressed himself. Gus rubbed Rick’s ass cheeks. Kissed him on the neck. Gus also played with his and Rick’s cocks. He fingered Rick’s ass. Getting a moan from him. Gus lubed up his dick and Rick’s ass. Rick was slowly awakening up due to the thrusting of Gus’s dick inside his ass. “Wait” Rick said softly. “I’ve waited long enough and I’m going to see that you keep your promise to me.” Gus got more aggressive with fucking Rick. Who was too weak to fight him off. Gus flipped Rick around to fuck him missionary. He wanted to see Rick’s face when he came inside the young man. “Ahhhh” Gus grunted. “I’m cumming inside of you!” “Take my hiv loads, you teasing bitch!” Rick pleaded. “Please no!” But it was too late. Rick had Gus’s loads inside him. And Gus put a butt plug into Rick’s ass to be sure his loads stay inside him. “I’ll have you arrested for assault.” Rick said. Gus without a word got his phone and showing him Rick’s text that he could fuck him raw. Rick knew then he would have no case. And Gus fucked him one more time and secretly recorded the second fuck. As evidence in case Rick decided to arrest him.

ok, so wait a minute. hold the motherfuckin phone 4 a minute, just chill. this is some grade A, serious, government inspected shit. and that's this motherfuckin idea that u create ur own reality, and i have to say that even crystalbrain is smart enough to know that in the 1980s, the 1990s, the 2000s, and shit liek that, this meant u CREATE UR OWN AIDS. becuz lets put our stinking thinking caps on 4 a second. what is the first thing, after u've smoked a big rock of crack cocaine and ur really confident as fuck and u swallowed some new age shit about creating ur own reality, what is teh first thing ur going 2 do? ur going to stick ur dick into some orifice without a condom on. and unfortunately my friends, even with super ultra multiverse interdimensional powers, i'm not gonna stop u from gettin' HIV INFECTED if u do this.
one point of contention i had with reagan is that he thought it was cool 4 ppl 2 get AIDS, and as i smoked huge rocks of crack with him i sort of had a debate with him, a real heart-2-heart, and he was of teh opinion that the solution 2 overpopulation was 2 just not give a fuck about AIDS. and me, i thought about this and decided that even for me, this point of view was 2 fucked up and i just sorta looked at my lighter and said "let's talk about somethin else" with reagan as he fondled my balls. and so i just took probably the biggest hit of crack of my life becuz i just wanted 2 cry 4 teh fact that u couldn't have unprotected sex with ppl anymore without risking getting ur ass killed by this AIDS bullshit.
now this picture, i know what ur thinking…its evocative of some serious shit, liek a metaphysical conspiracy, but that's what this shit really was. i mean the metaphysics were bullshiet but that's the point, u believe in bullshit, and these beliefs are problematic as fuck becuz they can get u AIDS. so maybe just have a moment of silence with urself, just put teh crackpipe down and decide which side ur on: do u want ppl 2 get AIDS, or do u think that's fucked up? becuz with reagan, even though he was my crack-smoking buddy and bought me cool things liek a japanese famicom tv by sharp, i decided i was on teh side that said gettin AIDS is fucked up, and giving ppl AIDS through bullshitting them is fucked up too.
in teh picture there is a T-Cell, and u fuckin need these 2 survive i guess. but this occult bullshit, its liek upside down jesus, which is dumb right side up or upside down, but its got a inverse pentagram over it which signifies matter ruling over consciousness or 2 put it a different way: thinking with ur dick. anyways this is some seriously dark shit, so maek sure ur selective with who u do the nasty with.
Hello dear friend, am glad to be with you here
I'm Ssekyanzi John a gay man from Uganda and I was persecuted by the family and the host community because of my sexual orientation.
I ran to Kenya kakuma refugee camp but unfortunately I found life so difficult in kakuma camp.
This is because I'm a victim of HIV/AIDs therefore I found a very difficult time to get my needs like the medicine that I need to take every day and to get food.
Though there are hospitals but there is no medicine, they sell them to the private clinics and to the clinics it is very expensive therefore I have a great challenge that even I don't work I have no job that can support me, I came alone without anyone else and nobody can support me .
Situation is very hard and sometimes when I miss my medicines I end up vomiting blood,developing high fever and fainting. Therefore I'm kindly requesting for your support please dear friend.
The situation is so serious, so please anything you have please donate to me so that I can survive through this life 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
SACRIFICIO by ERNESTO MESTRE-REED (AFTERTHOUGTS)
quickly: a young afro-cuban discovers an underground revolution while investigating the last days of his dead boyfriend ('la revolucion!' won’t die / tourists who won’t leave / sex on the beach / bonfire orgies / little explosions everywhere / the ghost of che guevara / fidel castro as the voice of god / the body is the battleground / the oppressed becoming the oppressor / little brothers following big brothers / individuals finding community / families split by politics / quarantined confinement / dark liquor / kitchens turned into restaurants / HIV as radicalism / radicalism as an artform / queer people in love / men who are afraid to die / cities in the sky).
This is not a review, but I wish it was. Just thoughts as I recollect on the books I've read this year.
This is a book that transformed my views on sex, partnership, and revolution. I read this book in March of 2023 and it is now December. This story (along with THE BOOKS OF JACOB and BELOVED and PIRANESI) has sat with me all year, challenging me to think about who I am in relation to my community, my government, and my body. It has made me think more about what I require (or desire) in a partner, and what I want for the people around me. While reading THE BOOKS OF JACOB, watching LOVE HAS WON: THE CULT OF MOTHER GOD, and simply watching the news, I kept asking myself the same question the book provokes… when do movements become cults? is the oppressed always doomed to become the oppressor? how do you disrupt a negative feedback loop? is it possible to start over and build something totally new?

Синдром приобретенного иммунодефицита (СПИД) является серьёзным заболеванием, но это не означает, что жизнь закончилась.
Если придерживаться необходимого лечения, больной может жить спокойно долгие годы.
Официальная история СПИДа началась около 35 лет назад, когда был зарегистрирован первый случай заражения ВИЧ-инфекцией.
С того времени число всех больных СПИДом достигло больше 62 миллионов из которых 25 миллионов умерли, а 37 миллионов живут с инфекцией (2016).
В Российской Федерации число больных СПИДом достигло 1 миллиона людей.
Причиной синдрома приобретенного иммунодефицита является вирус ВИЧ-1 (HIV-1) или ВИЧ-2 (HIV-2). Дело в том, что на нашей планете существуют 2 вируса ВИЧ. ВИЧ-1 - больше распространен на территории США.
Единственными способами передачи вируса от больного человека к здоровому являются:
незащищенный секс (оральный, анальный или вагинальный) с инфицированным СПИДом партнером;
попадание крови от зараженного больного к здоровому в крови:
может случиться у наркоманов при совместном использовании шприцов;
при переливании.
Через поцелуи СПИД не передаётся! Дело в том, что в человеческой слюне содержится белок, который защищает Т-лимфоциты от заражения.
Главными симптомами синдрома приобретенного иммунодефицита считаются:
необъяснимая постоянная усталость;
увеличенные лимфатические узлы;
повышенная температура 10 дней подряд;
повышенная потливость во время сна;
необъяснимая потеря веса;
микозы;
частые необъяснимые кровотечения и гематомы;
продолжительная острая диарея;
частая простуда;
затрудненное дыхание (диспноэ);
продолжительный кашель по непонятным причинам;
необъяснимый продолжительный кашель;
коричневые или фиолетовые шрамы на коже.
Интересно, что симптомы СПИДа могут различаться от одного региона к другому:
В Европе и США у больных могут замечаться:
пневмония;
туберкулёз;
саркома Капоши.
В Африке, у пациентов замечаются:
понос;
продолжительный кашель;
повышенная температура.
Даже если в результате анализов выясняется, что пациент не болен СПИДом, наличие данных симптомов требует обязательно медицинского контроля.
У СПИДа четыре стадии:
начальная;
латентная;
вторичных заболеваний;
финальная.
Последняя стадия появляется через 5-10 лет от инфицирования. Через 2-3 года больной может умереть.
Для диагностики СПИДа используются различные тесты. Самыми встречаемыми являются ИФА (иммуноферментный анализ) и иммуноблот.
При подозрении на СПИД, перед тем как сдавать анализы рекомендуется пройти консультацию у психолога. Дело в том, что многие пациенты при положительном тесте входят в очень тяжелое психологическое состояние. Врач-психолог может помочь пациенту устранить страх и боязнь завтрашнего дня.
В данный момент, медицине удалось вылечить СПИД лишь частично. Другими словами, благодаря лечению можно предотвратить серьёзнейшие симптомы, но полностью избавиться от вируса невозможно.
Для лечения ВИЧ-инфекции используются такие лекарственные препараты:
противораковые лекарственные препараты;
препараты, меняющие работу иммунной системы;
противовирусные средства.
Средства народной медицины могут быть использованы для лечения СПИДа лишь в комбинации с основным лечением! Также при СПИДе - противопоказано самолечение!
Важнейшими рекомендациями по предотвращению заражения являются:
Использование презервативов снижает риск заражения ВИЧ-инфекцией. Лучшим решением для предотвращения заражения этим вирусом являются презервативы содержащие ноноксинол-9. Это вещество имеет деструктивный эффект против ВИЧ вне организма.
Рекомендуется использовать презервативы при любом виде полового акта: орального, вагинального или анального.
Если вы и ваш партнер являетесь моногамной парой и не являетесь носителями ВИЧ-инфекции, то использование презерватива - необязательно.
Не используйте смазки на базе масел! Такие масла могут повредить презерватив!
СПИД (Синдром приобретенного иммунного дефицита) - очень серьёзная болезнь, причиной которой является вирус иммунодефицита человека (ВИЧ).
Распространение этого вируса от больного к здоровому человеку происходит, главным образом, через сперму, вагинальные выделения, кровь и от больной беременной матери к плоду.
В наши дни, существуют более 30 миллионов больных СПИДом, из которых более 21 миллион только в Африке!
У этого заболевания 3 стадии:
стадия инкубации;
стадия хронической бессимптомной инфекции;
болезнь.
На протяжении всех этих этапов заболевания у человека снижается уровень Т4-лимфоцитов до критической отметки, что повышает риск вторичных инфекций (кандидоз, бородавки, опоясывающий лишай) и смерти!
До 1996 года, не существовало прямое лечение инфекции вируса. Появление различных видов терапии смогло затормозить эволюцию вируса и продлить жизнь больным. Избавиться полностью от вируса пока что не по силам медицине.
Конечно же, прививка от СПИДа могла бы спасти миллионы жизней, но учёным не удалось пока получить её.
Самой надежной защитой от ВИЧ-инфекции остаётся использование презервативов во время полового акта.
Today is World AIDS Day, and we’ve still got a lot of work to do.
A stat that gets me every time: “If current diagnosis rates continue, 1 in 6 gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime, including 1 in 2 black/African American gay and bisexual men, 1 in 4 Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men, and 1 in 11 white gay and bisexual men.”
One of the most important things you can do is get tested and know your status; here’s a tool that can help you find a nearby testing site. Note that the option for selecting your gender isn’t quite right, but the wealth of testing locations in their database is still helpful.
If you’re in a donating mood, you can also support the work of some organizations doing excellent things for those affected by HIV/AIDS, including GMHC, AIDS United, Planned Parenthood, Lambda Legal and amfAR. (And please add your favorites; there are so many!)
We’ve been fighting this fight for upwards of 30 years. We’re not stopping now.
