It’s a Sin mirrored my own experience of growing up gay at a time of increasing homophobia and in the shadow of AIDS.

It’s A Sin Is A Perfect Tribute To The Friends I Lost
Many contemporaries have struggled to watch It’s A Sin, the grief still too raw. But I can’t help watch the show and see how closely it mirrors my own life.

How terrible. That must have added to your trauma. I’m glad though that you were able to access PEP.

Globally, about 41 million people live with HIV.
I am one of them.
HIV treatment works - but almost 1 in 4 are still not being treated.
HIV treatment also prevents HIV from being passed on during sex - the risk is zero - so treating everybody with HIV is the most powerful tool in HIV prevention too.

Terrible Xmas movies:
3. The Polar Express - six of Tom Hank’s worst performances.
The animation is so creepy, the kids so dead-eyed, at first I assumed it was a Peter-Pan like parable about the loss of young ones, which could have been quite moving.
But no, it was just bad.

a picture of a boy with the words you know what kinda train this is
Alt: Two deadeyed animated children on a train. One asks the other, ‘You know what kinda train this is?’ Which I interpreted as a clue that all was not as it seemed. I was wrong. All was only as it seemed.
