Tina

So an acquaintance says to me ......

"I don't understand why you didn't come over to play with us last weekend, it was 'gezellig.'"

"They really got me going those two (later three - a different three) and one of 'em fisted me with both arms up to the elbows."

"Of course we were on Tina (Crystal Meth) which was really horny, otherwise I can't take so much up my ass."

"850 euro for 10 gram. Expensive? Depends on your priorities doesn't it."

"The Hepatitis C? I've been on the treatment for 5 months and it doesn't help - I'm just gonna have to wait for the new medicine."

....

HHV8

Another acquaintance with Kaposi Sarcoma related Non Hodgkins Lymfoma - like it never went away.

Gay, HIV+, 45+ not on CART, no reason to be, until ...

When will we see that the danger is present, not past.

Drama Queen

Drama Queens are wonderful creatures, at least they should be. They make a wonderful show out of themselves and their surroundings. Unfortunately, and more often than not, the cost of the show is higher than the content would warrant if it were on broadway.

Most Drama Queens don't even know that they are the only star in their particular firmament. Correction. They demand to be the only star in their firmament.

Its a lonely existence.

All glitter and sequins, spotlights and smoke screens, self-deception and pointless intrigue.

Aids-related Cancers

The top three cancers in the general population, breast, intestine and lung, occur in the same frequency in people with a Hiv infection. However, the three so-called Aids related cancers occur much more often.

1. Kaposi Sarcoma of the skin and internal organs – Herpes 8

2. Glandular or non-Hodgkin – Epstein Barr Virus

3. Cervical (in women) – HPV

Other cancers are rising in frequency amongst people with a Hiv infection. Notably the Hodgkin Lymphoma.

The association with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections increase the risk of liver cancer.

Certain non-KS skin cancers are also more prevalent in people with a Hiv infection.

Anal cancer, although comparatively rare, does occur 25 times more in Hiv positive men and 40 times more in Gay Hiv positive men. Recent trials are already indicating that these figures will increase when the trials are completed.
