Given the lack of integrity shown in early HIV research, I’m more than a bit skeptical of HIV/AIDS vaccine research. There has been a lot of talk recently about the possibilities of developing an HIV vaccine, and the information in this abstract isn’t new, but it is one of the better academic studies in this [...]

According to Melker, the new device could help address the issue by providing a new way to monitor treatment adherence. Melker said that although the current version of the device works well, he hopes that the technology eventually can be used in a cellular phone. [...]

I have much to say about the debate at William & Mary last night, but, alas, I don’t have the time to say it right now. But Ren, Jill, and Karla all did a great job last night.
Yes, I included the radical feminist on the panel. She did a great job, and not simply by [...]

Following historical precedent, both Samantha Berg and John Foubert have removed themselves from this evening’s panel discussion at William and Mary. I reference historical precedent because this is the most common reaction by radical feminists when asked to debate sex workers’ rights activists.
Judging from Sam’s communications with event organizer Constance Sisk and undisclosed recipients, she [...]

I realize that many of the older posts, those originally published on Blogger, are messy and need to be cleaned up. It bugs the hell out of me.
I will not get that done right now, but I will get it done ASAP.

A few days ago I posted about the upcoming debate Jill Brenneman and Renegade Evolution will have against John Foubert and Samantha Berg.
Well, the appearance of Ren has caused quite a stir! It looks as though the usual suspects are trying to censor the views represented on the panel.
You can read the words of Ren [...]

I think this is awesome! I wish more nations would implement similar measures, both towards transgender empowerment and the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Transgender People Spread HIV Prevention Messages Among Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) in Cuba
Since the first festival last year, 18 transgender people have participated in training workshops to become health promoters [...]

I really enjoyed this article.

Bottom line: The narrative about our presidential candidates being just regular folks is a tired myth that gets repeated each and every day. And their efforts to show that they are “just like us” are really pathetic.
You don’t have to go duck hunting, be seen buying milk at the grocery store [...]

Heated Debate Expected!
Jill Brenneman and Renegade Evolution debating John Foubert and Sam Berg. As long as the man doesn’t detain me, I’ll be in attendance to support my SWOP East colleagues!
We’re expecting a crowd of prohibitionists and would love for supporters to attend. So, I hope to see you there!

I know we just began the second quarter of 2008, but this guy’s vile hatred is unlike any other.
I was originally directed to his venomous ramblings by Stacey on BnG. This posting at feministe exposes the asshole for all to see.
Please go check this schmuck out. I think it’s important to know the type of [...]
