Training helpline volunteers

[bearbandit]

Even if the training evening was less successful than I'd have hoped it did have a positive side in that I managed to turn some of my notes into what I believe to be the first UK HIV mainstream article saying that there are more effective ways of protecting yourself against HIV than condoms. The British seem to have a love affair with the condom: charity donors (both private like Elton John Aids Foundation) and public (the government) insist that the charity promotes condoms as a means of protection. You can find it at http://www.beyondpositive.org/2013/11/27/steve-return-old-normal-nsfw/ . I always know I'm doing well when Tom (the editor) adds a nsfw tag to my rantings.

I was pretty doubtful about the idea of PrEP when it was first cleared for use in the USA, but you guys convinced me otherwise - thank you!
