A couple of days ago we posted an item seeking input and ideas for the development of a 2009 Gay Men's Health Agenda, to put our new President and Congress on the correct path, give them a map of where WE want them to go.Some great stuff has been coming in - check out the original post and add to the list, please! Even if someone has mentioned your idea already, go ahead and post a comment again so we can get a sense of priorities. Please encourage your friends and colleagues to add their ideas as well.
Thanks all!

Something is shaken up in people even just in the mention as a thought experiment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment the strategy of let's get tested TOGETHER BEFORE we have sex, for A VARIETY of STDs.
ReplyDeleteGet tested TOGETHER BEFORE having sex, for A VARIETY of STDs injected in the discussions is useful for potential sex partners who choose to do the strategy.
In public health out of hand dismissal without direct deliberation of the strategy is an important error.
The strategy could be looked at as the phenomenon it is because it is happening, going on unobserved by public health advocates.
