Zendaya Continues To Prove She’s Just The Coolest With STI Testing Message

At just 19, actress and activist Zendaya already has more worldly wisdom and a positive outlook that’s usually attained by people twice her age. The star proved this yet again in a video interview seamlessly mixing cute puppies with UN activism (like you do).

hiv+ lgbt people loving each other is so beautiful and good! this is a fact and not disputable in case u were wondering

Then he told me he just got it, then his daughter told me he had it for 15 years and he had another BF and didn't told him either

The fact that there are people knowingly spreading HIV to their partners makes me want to physically throw up. And you know there are people doing it to keep their spouses from leaving cah the stigma would be too much for them to even seek out another relationship. It’s wicked uno. The thing is, sometimes showing you’re clean before marriage ain’t even enough, some people contract these things thru cheating (after) and end up giving it to their partners.

I was with my partner for 7 years and he never told me he was hiv,i found some papers, that's how i found out it was so disturbing,

This Was the First Major News Article on HIV/AIDS

The epidemic’s early days were perplexing and terrifying

Entitled “Rare Cancer Seen in 41 Homosexuals,” the article was penned by Lawrence K. Altman and appeared in the New York Times. At the time, gay men were dying of an unusual disease. They presented with purple spots on the skin, and their lymph nodes eventually became swollen before they died. It seemed to be cancer—but the symptoms matched a type usually only seen in very old people. The people who were dying at the time, however, were young and otherwise healthy. Doctors did not understand what was happening or whether the cancer was contagious.

How Lesbians Cared For And Fought For Gay Men During the AIDS Crisis

"These women walked directly into the fire and through it, and they did not have to."

An incredibly important, and often forgotten, part of lgbt history. 

WORD AIDS DAY, 2011

Ron was my very first boyfriend. He was already HIV+ (I was, and am, still HIV-) when we were dating. He was a journalist and gave me a lot of aspiration on who and what I wanted to do as an adult. He passed away about two years after we had stopped dating.

Laith became HIV+ about eight months after we broke up, and though we never reconnected wholly as friends, I was grateful that we at least got to work along side each other some years later, and were able to put some closure on that relationship. He passed away about a year after we reconnected.

Both of these men gave me a lot of formative ideas and hopes in my earlier days. I still carry much of those ideas within me as a result of knowing them back then. And, like so many people who knew them, I wish they were still here.

For Ron. For Laith. I fell in love with you then, and I still love you now. You both will always be a part of my heart. Always.

A generation of artists were wiped out by Aids and we barely talk about it

A new film about the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe is a shocking and brilliant reminder of the devastation HIV and Aids wreaked – and still does

“Yet there was a time when you could walk around London or New York and see these gaunt faces, marked with sarcomas, and everyone you hung out with was dying. The official culture was in denial. Sometimes it was easier to be. I remember seeing Derek Jarman at a play. At that point he was blind. I didn’t want to see him like that. And then my friend was queer-bashed on the way home. Freddie Mercury died. Keith Haring died. Eazy- E from NWA died. Denholm Elliott died. Rock Hudson died. Fela Kuti died. And my uncle who wasn’t famous or even my actual uncle died. One of my friends lost seven people who were all under 30.”
