A little more than 20 years ago, Tom Viola and I produced David Drake's powerful play, The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me at the Perry Street Theatre in New York's Greenwich Village. David's work spoke to our hearts, as it did to so many, and we were honored and privileged to be able to share it with the world. It went on to become one of the longest running one-person shows in New York theatre history and subsequently there have been more than 100 productions of it around the world. On May 20, there will be a one-night 20th anniversary performance in New York and tickets just went on sale today.

An Atlanta-based blog reports that Lee Thompson, better known as 'Uncle Poodle' on the 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' has confirmed not only that he has tested positive for HIV antibodies, but that he pressed charges against his former boyfriend from whom he believes he acquired the virus.

For many of us, the concerns about 'treatment as prevention' isn't about whether or not it is effective on an individual basis in preventing HIV transmission. It is.

Today, more than three decades into the epidemic, the most prominent national voice of people with HIV lacks the breadth and depth of community support necessary to be the powerful player in national HIV/AIDS policy-making.

There was an almost palpable longing for these related efforts to come together as a cohesive movement with a broader base. Maybe the time is right for that to happen.

It discouraging to see all the AIDS organizations and other institutions cranking out press releases celebrating National HIV Testing Day while remaining silent about how HIV criminalization is ruining lives and locking up people with HIV.

What we've written is likely to displease some readers. We believe public health departments in New York and San Francisco have overstepped ethical boundaries in advocating anti-retroviral treatment for those for whom treatment has not been proven to benefit.

Supposedly the IAS respects the GIPA principles (Greater Involvement of People living with HIV/AIDS), which were inspired in large part by the Denver Principles. But perhaps they misunderstand and believe the 'I' in GIPA stands for 'Invisibility' instead of 'Involvement'?
