In honor of World AIDS Day, how conscientious are you about asking new partners about their sexual history? Are you consistent about practicing safe sex?
I kinda feel like I talk enough about sex that I'm going to wind up knowing enough to make judgment calls with potential sexual partners. The need to actively ask because of a lack of information hasn't really come up; but I've been taught to ask, and I expect that if I didn't already know, I would.
I'd also like to share this essay Libba Bray (author of A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and The Sweet Far Thing--excellent YA books dominated by strong female characters) wrote for World AIDS day, in honor of her father, a gay man who spent much of his life in the closet, having children and acting as a leader in the Presbyterian church. He died of AIDS just before retroviral drugs started to come out.
Finally:
Reply to this post, and I'll give you a compliment and/or tell you why I'm thankful to be friends with you. Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.
