Tattoos and Hepatitis: Preventing Hep C While You Get Inked

For many people, body art is a fun, beautiful, and sometimes radical form of self-expression. But when it comes to tattoos, there's one potential downside that's often overlooked: the risk of contracting a hepatitis C virus infection.

LGBTQ Health & Telemedicine: How Tech is Helping to Make Care Accessible

LGBTQ+ healthcare is like any other person's healthcare in many ways, but sometimes, the unique needs of our community require a unique approach. From navigating a higher risk of getting certain sexually transmitted infections and preventing HIV to mental health and gender-affirming care, there are a lot of factors to consider.

Women & Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day: Women and HIV

The conversations medical providers, community leaders, and individuals have surrounding HIV and AIDS are often focused on men, and with good reason – men who have sex with men (MSM) are the most disproportionately at-risk group(opens in a new tab) for HIV infection, and the gay community has been uniquely affected by the AIDS epidemic that began in 1981. However, March 10th is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day(opens in a new tab), and it’s important to discuss the ways in which women of all walks of life can be at risk for HIV infection.

Branden D. 2007

Branden D. "This is a photo of a boy months from expiring in 2007, a viral load of 9, riddled with cancer. I'd gone to see Dr Lane at the behest of my parents. Other doctors had told me that if I wanted to live I must take medication that would lessen what little quality of life I had left. I told them that was the point -- to belay my suffering. I was told I was going to die in October and I couldn't bear to extend that deadline. Stacy asked me if I'd be willing to take the medication if she could make it so that it didn't make me feel sicker. She cared more about me than I did and somehow that made me accept the treatment. She had faith where I had solemn resignation. The following month my CD4 was 124 and the deep purple lesions had already started to disappear. It is now near 800 and eight years later I am now a man who is blessed to offer that compassion to others and I'm lucky to stand in her shadow. All the good I can do from now on will be the vicarious compassion of a woman I consider to be an angel on earth.
