Tim Barrus New York Times
Take notes. Gay men have formed a survivor’s group that is about older men who survived AIDS. And the AIDS era. Which has not ended. The group is angry with me for questioning the tenet of the tenets. The rule that life is always worth living because it’s life. Living…

MYHIVTEAM
Fucking Antiretrovirals. Most are not worth the bother to take them. The constant interface with the ”helper” medical community will test your resolve to live. Unless you like being examined and turned inside out every other day. Social missions. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate is now a Big Girl problem.…

I have asked the Smash Street Boys to bounce off a response I made to David Brooks in the New York Times. Brooks writes about suicide quite often. His work is excellent. This time, he is integrating the reality of AI into the examination of what makes people tick. Tick.…

Tim Barrus: New York Times
The New York Times keeps publishing the cure for HIV is the cure for HIV when, in fact, such announcements are patently absurd and beneath contempt. Cure? I live in Appalachia. Our HIV clinics (public health) are all deliberately located in far away places we simply can’t get to. Even…

WHEN DEATH IS BEST
I been voted to be the one who would write this about our little film WHEN DEATH IS BEST. I am not a writer. Writing sucks. I can barely spell. But I know stuff about HIV you do not know. HIV is a bitch to live with because you have…

Utterly Useless CDC Posters
How is it, any of this collection of CDC posters taped to a toilet bathroom wall supposedly stops me in my tracks and compels me to change my entire life. Get real. The hard to reach get stick figures. The CDC is removed from any of the lives I’ve lived.…
