Using condoms is the most effective way to prevent you from becoming HIV+ if you have anal sex. They also prevent many STIs, which are more easily transmitted through unprotected anal. So why during a high profile campaign such as HIV testing week don’t the gay (ill)health charities promote condoms in conjunction with testing? They seem… Read More »
Have you noticed recently how no one engages with the gay ill health sector? Either through Facebook or Twitter? No one comments on any of their posts with few likes either! They are an echo chamber of moaning and miserable sods wallowing in victimhood, endlessly banging on about “stigma” and how hard done to they… Read More »
It’s not unfair to say that the gay ill health sector has over the past 15 years failed in their remit to keep gay men safe from HIV and STIs with a strong message of consistent condom use. Championing the reliable condom as the gold standard in HIV prevention along with healthy lifestyles all but… Read More »
This HIV specialist challenges many within the gay health sector and their notions on PrEP and STIs. The most worrying comment is about multi-drug resistant HIV which is becoming more common and will affect the effectiveness of PrEP in HIV prevention. Many PrEP advocates state that PrEP will “work” as drug resistance to K65R in… Read More »
Condoms are the key to keeping you as an individual HIV negative for the rest of your life. Your sexual health is your responsibility, you cannot rely on anyone else to protect you from HIV or other STIs. Using condoms is a sign of a highly educated knowledgeable responsible gay man who cares about his… Read More »
The gay (ill) health (un)professionals are like a broken record, pushing a bizarre narrative that is crumbling around them in the face of shocking facts, statistics and downright common sense. Amazingly they are still going for the “sex without fear” buzzphrase. Suggesting that gay men no longer have to worry about their sexual health and… Read More »
You meet Steve who has worked for a gay health organisation for over 10 years, for a date and possibly more. Steve discloses to you that he is HIV positive and claims he has been undetectable for many years. He says he takes his meds regularly and that those “bad boys” keep him healthy and… Read More »
The gay ill health charities will try anything to get you on PrEP and come up with weird and wacky PrEP regimes which have not been tested in trials but they come up with them anyway and make them seem legitimate. The latest one is “Holiday PrEP” where you take PrEP 7-7-7. Sounds scientific doesn’t… Read More »
The NHS is very clear, safer sex is using a condom. It’s that simple. For gay men, testing for HIV and STIs should happen on a 6 or 12 monthly basis, but testing is never a “prevention” strategy. It won’t keep you the individual safe from HIV or STIs. Testing is more about a collective… Read More »
The gay (ill)health organisations have abandoned behavioural change and embraced medical interventions in the fight against HIV. Their agenda is that no gay sexual act can be “stigmatised”, “shamed” or “judged” otherwise you are a “slut shamer” a self hating homophobe whose view needs to be shut down. You are branded a bigot. However the… Read More »
