For many years, Network & Nosh event has been extremely popular and well-attended. We attempt to connect activists, organizers and service providers who work in various disciplines (SUD, mental health, HIV, incarceration/re-entry, community planning, social justice, education, and housing to name a few) with one another to learn about what services are available to our clients and to the community. Everyone who wants to has an opportunity to speak at the podium for a few minutes (usually 3-5 minutes) and then people network – so bring your business cards and brochures. We also have a resource fair set up, so if you have agency/program/event literature you wish to share, reserve a table – or part of one.

And we chat, eat, interact……

The Undetectable Problem: Dating, Sex and Criminalization (Part 2)

the second part of my rant about the sociocultural pressures of HIV viral load (un)detectability just went live, wherein I reflect on the complications and pressures felt by clients and friends, and the implications for clinical practice, community building, and dating.

‘Anxiety, fear, shame and othering perpetuate HIV stigma. Viral load stigma is now what exclusionary dating clauses of ‘no positives’ used to be. ‘Are you …

The Undetectable Problem: Trauma and Adherence (Part 1)

Folks who went to Coping With Hope 2015 got a chance to hear Keiko present…

 

Let me be clear: I support my clients and my friends who can achieve viral load undetectability, and I cheer for them when they stay that way. But I also worry that when we cheer so loudly for such a narrow goal, we forget to relentlessly name the complexity and intersectionality of context.
