I have forsworn those dalliances into unsafe territory. Indeed, our generation, my friend, has only a bare recollection of what AIDS was like in the bad old days. We rely on those who survived to tell us.<BR/><BR/>Keep fighting, Eric.rptrcubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959933821252725984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397595379731918375.post-63092134109008323722008-12-01T22:15:00.000-05:002008-12-01T22:15:00.000-05:00I read that the first time you posted it.

I would have thought the place would be packed, but, sadly, no. I'll admit that Ottawa's LGBTQ community isn't huge, but even so...<BR/><BR/>I guess that now the prevailing attitude is that, within the community, most people know the dangers and what to do to keep things safe. There is now a generation (of which I am a part) who haven't really come into contact with the disease or its effects first-hand... it's almost like some kind of historical fact that others lived through but 'not us'.<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to see how this might affect infection rates in the next few years among younger folks.<BR/><BR/>Unreleated note: Fantastic blog, mate. Don't always know enough about the issues you raise to comment on it (mainly 'cause I'm an ignoraimus when it comes to social or political issues), but always an interesting read.

You could be next, and it's not a cakewalk at all, like so many young people seem to think, like you just take the meds and everything's fine.<BR/><BR/>Bless you Eric.
