I’m just putting my 2 cents worth out here to help let the world (especially the media) know that there is more than one international AIDS conference taking place in Vienna this weekend. AIDS – Knowledge and Dogma, Conditions for the Emergence and Decline of Scientific Theories features speakers from around the world to address [...]
My role as a gay AIDS activist was first featured in a special report on AIDS in the Kansas City Times, July 8, 1989. I recently unboxed some of the early media accounts of my life as an openly gay AIDS activist in Kansas City. The very first words in the very first article ever [...]
Could it be that we are getting closer to a (more) unified alternative explanation for what causes “AIDS”? There are several recently published articles, as well as conversations between the authors, that just may prove to be the impetus for such a epiphany. This is not about some startling new discovery. It is the work [...]
Call it intuition, but something tells me that it is about time for science to be turned on its head for being wrong. Again. Recently, published reports from various scientific fields offer new insight about possible ways the human immune system wards off disease, specifically those conditions blamed on viruses, such as AIDS and hepatitis.

11+ years of viral load testing I continue to monitor my CD4 and viral load for a number of reasons that make sense to me, and as a result I can graph the last 11+ years of these numbers. I have updated these graphs and posted them here so others can see how wildly variable [...]

The word virus has been in use for more than six centuries, though the [...]
Tony Lance I’ve gotten to know Tony Lance personally the last few months. The more we visit, the more things we seem to discover we share in common. Both of us are gay men who came out just before, or in the very earliest years of the Gay Plague. We are both “poz” and living [...]
courtesy of freefoto.com AIDS researchers continue to stretch the limits in finding excuses to spend some of the billions of dollars worth of funding being made available to them. Lately, the anti-smoking forces have been rallying to compete for a piece of the HIV research pie. This morning’s news brought this “study” about the lung [...]
No one wants to see the grave of a loved one disturbed. It’s dishonorable, distasteful, and usually illegal. That is exactly what happened this weekend though. There is a page on my blog called “the graveyard”, a list of dead friends that I published as a response to those who claimed that every time an [...]
I developed Bell’s palsy (BP) yesterday, a couple of days after striking the left side of my head rather severely on the sharp, hard edge of my car door. After self-diagnosing my symptoms, I was reluctant to seek any medical care, mainly because there really is no successful treatment or cure for BP. Most people [...]
