The Times UK: "HIV and the rise of complacency" |

By Trevor |
So first the French gay rags TETU and PREF, and now the very respectable The Times! My mission to take over Europe is in full swing! I was of course honored to be interviewed for this piece on HIV across the pond. The author is interested in the idea of gay generational gaps in approaching / experiencing HIV, and I tried to add a bit of complexity to the standard-issue story. Indeed, rather than make young gay men the target of our ire, I try to turn it around to say that fear-based HIV prevention and abstinence-only education are part of the story here. Check it out!

Thanks for speaking up. I don't perceive myself or my gay peers to be complacent about HIV. Anxiety about HIV is a perennial issue in my life. It sucks, and it's annoying. Nevertheless, the reality is that barebacking feels really good, and I do it sometimes when I'm pretty sure it's safe. Advertising that tries to get me to beat myself up about this behavior turns me off.
