Take a few minutes today to pin on a Red Ribbon - it's World AIDS day.

AIDS is, of course, not a "gay disease". But as it first came to prominence among western gay men, it has always had a special resonance for us. Some of us have lost friends to the disease. Some may be living with HIV. All of us share a world with the devastation the HIV virus is causing in many places, and the largely preventable horror of mother-to-baby transmission.

For anyone in the UK who is looking for a ribbon, they are more widely available this year - see http://www.worldaidsday.org/get-involved/wear-a-red-ribbon.aspx . Or make your own. Or just wear one in your heart ...

Each of us will have different things we can do to help reduce the prevalence and impact of HIV, at home and abroad. But for those who are - or may possibly become - sexually active, that must always include being informed of risks, and always practising safer sex. If anyone needs to know about this, there's stuff on timmy's site, and a lot elsewhere, and you can always ask here.

Hugs 'n stuff

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
