Today's Health - Wellness/ Exercise / Reflections:New HIV survey finds 18% of gay men in Vancouver have the diseaseBy: The Canadian Press / Nov 24, 2010VANCOUVER - The first-ever study of HIV rates among gay men in Vancouver has found 18 per cent of those surveyed have the disease and most of them are on anti-HIV medications.The study called ManCount was conducted by a coalition of groups, including the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control and the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.
ManCount surveyed 1,169 gay and bisexual men in gay establishments in Vancouver between August 2008 and February 2009 and found 86 per cent had been tested for HIV, although the number dropped to 77 per cent for those under 30.
Eighteen per cent of the men are HIV-positive and 70 per cent are taking what's considered the gold standard of drug programs to fight HIV, called Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy, or HAART.
Authors of the study say only 2.5 per cent of the men were unaware they were HIV-positive and half of those were between tests.
The study also says most gay men are using preventative measures, such as condoms and regular testing, to reduce their risk of HIV transmission and infection.

Take Action:
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- We demand immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination.
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commerical by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida.
- Boycott Arizona because of their uncivilized anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform.
- NEW: Boycott Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.
And Now, Model Wars!

November 24, 2010 / Los Angeles Times / -- Alexandra Le TellierIn an editorial for Thanksgiving Day, The Times tips its hat to both Pixar and the "It Gets Better" campaign on its list of 2010 notable newsmakers. So it's a lovely surprise to find Pixar's very own "It Gets Better" video that hit YouTube on Monday.
From the editorial:
Pixar, which makes our list for the second year in a row. Movie franchises have from time to time produced sequels at least as good as the originals, but how many can you name that haven't fallen apart by the third installment? With "Toy Story 3," Pixar had the courage to (spoiler alert) move beyond Andy, just as he had moved beyond his toys.
[...]
Celebrities reaching out to gay teens via YouTube with the message "It Gets Better'" encouraging kids to stay strong and not cave in to bullies.
Well done, Pixar.
