it's almost absurd to think that this epidemic could be ended by, essentially, awareness.

if everyone got tested before having unprotected "relations" with their partner(s) there would be no new cases. if everyone used protected there would be drastically fewer cases. i'm going to leave out abstinence because i think sexual compatibility is an important relationship component for sexually active individuals.

Congrats to the very giving people of SF. Living with HIV myself, it brings encouragement to see how many caring souls are out there. Bravo!! I typically drive to Atlanta for theirs.
