In case anyone is interested, #17 is Max Emersen, a young gay actor and model. I had the privilege of working with him on the set of "Violet Tendencies" two years ago. He's even handsomer in person, and he's a nice, fun, friendly guy to boot.

Oct 17, 2011 - AIDSmeds
The once-daily fixed-dose combination tablet Complera (rilpivirine plus tenofovir and emtricitabine) has been added to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's antiretroviral treatment guidelines as a second-tier "alternative" option for people living with HIV starting therapy for the first time, according to an update released Friday, October 14. Other changes include the removal of both Viramune (nevirapine) and Combivir (zidovudine plus lamivudine) as alternative treatment options—both are now considered third-tier "acceptable" options—by the DHHS guidelines committee.
The DHHS's Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1 Infected Adults and Adolescents makes recommendations about the best time to start or switch therapy, the best treatments to use in various situations, ways to monitor treatment and deal with side effects and certain opportunistic infections (OIs), and a host of other issues related to ARV treatment. The guidelines were last updated in January 2011.
The addition of Complera, the second fixed-dose combination tablet containing a complete regimen active against HIV—along with Edurant, the stand-alone tablet containing rilpivirine, to be combined with other agents—is among the most notable changes in the October 2011 update. Both are listed as alternative options. Atripla is still the only first-tier "preferred" non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)–based regimen for first-time HIV treatment takers.
The reason for Complera's listing as an alternative, as opposed to a preferred, regimen is its history of effectiveness in clinical trials. Compared with study volunteers who used Sustiva plus Truvada (often used together as Atripla), those using Edurant plus Truvada who had pre-treatment viral loads in excess of 100,000 copies were more likely to see their viral loads rebound while on therapy. Clinical trial participants using Edurant plus Truvada were also more likely to develop drug resistance to other NNRTIs—including Sustiva (efavirenz), Intelence (etravirine) and Viramune (nevirapine)—and Truvada, compared with those using Sustiva plus Truvada.
"Based on limited data on durability of treatment responses (48 weeks) and the lower virologic response compared with [Sustiva] in patients with high pretreatment viral loads, the [guidelines] panel recommends [Complera] as an alternative regimen for initial therapy," the revised guidelines state. "Caution should be exercised when using [rilpivirine] in patients with [viral loads greater than] 100,000 copies/mL, given the higher [rilpivirine] virologic failure rates and the greater probability of [etravirine] resistance at the time of failure observed in this population during clinical trials."
Across the board, however, Edurant plus Truvada was comparable to Sustiva plus Truvada in terms of maintaining viral loads below the level of detection, all the while causing fewer serious side effects, notably central nervous system problems.
Other changes in NNRTI recommendations include all Viramune-based regimens being reclassified as acceptable options for people starting HIV treatment for the first time, despite the fact that a new formulation of nevirapine called Viramune XR allows for once-daily dosing. Previously, Viramune plus Combivir was classified as an alternative regimen.
Combivir, the first approved tablet containing two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), has been reclassified from an alternative dual-NRTI option to an acceptable option because the combination has greater toxicities compared with Truvada and Epzicom (abacavir plus lamivudine) and requires twice-daily dosing. However, Combivir remains the preferred dual-NRTI for pregnant women receiving ARV therapy.
Other key recommendations, such as when to start or switch HIV treatment, remain unchanged.Take Action:
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
- Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

You Decide!Occupy Wall Street, NYC; Oct 16, 2011 - Day 31Stoked?Occupy Wall Street, NYC; Oct 2, 2011 - Day 16Anti-LGBT Hate Group's Event Draws Protest, Vandalism In Suburban Chicago10/17/11 - Huffington Post
A banquet hosted by a "hate group" in honor of an Evangelical leader tied to a controversial Ugandan anti-gay bill drew protests from LGBT activists in suburban Chicago Saturday.
The event, sponsored by Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) to honor "The Pink Swastika" author Scott Lively with an "American Truth Teller" award, also attracted vandalism. Police are in the midst of trying to identify who is responsible for throwing bricks into the window of the Christian Liberty Academy, located at 502 W. Euclid Ave. in Arlington Heights on Saturday.
The Gay Liberation Network, the Chicago-based LGBT advocacy group which sponsored the protest, said in a statement that they "do not know who did this" and claimed the vandalism occurred several hours prior to their protest.
But AFTAH president Peter LaBarbera says that the gay organization has "claimed responsibility for the crime." LaBarbera referred to the group as "'gay' domestic terrorists" and claimed that neither his group nor Lively condone violence against LGBT people. Fox News picked up the story on Sunday and called the unidentified vandal a "gay militant."
In response, GLN added that, "given AFTAH's often tenuous relationship with the truth, as evidenced in its use of scientific quackery to frequently promote lies about LGBT people," they would not put it past the group to "commit this minor vandalism against the Academy themselves so that they could put upon themselves the mantel of 'victim.'"
According to the Daily Herald, around 30 protesters picketed outside the banquet honoring Lively.
A note attached to the brick thrown through the window of the academy read, "This is just a sample of what we will do if you don't shut down Scott Lively and AFTAH," Rev. Calvin Lindstrom, Church of Christian Liberty pastor, told the Daily Herald reports.
Lively reportedly traveled to Uganda to encourage anti-gay politicians and organizers there to draft a bill that would pave the way for punishing LGBT Ugandans with the death penalty. Lively's "The Pink Swastika" compares gay people to Nazis.
In a 2007 piece titled "Letter to the Russian People," Lively said that country should "criminalize the public advocacy of homosexuality … My philosophy is to leave homosexuals alone if they keep their lifestyle private, and not to force them into therapy if they don't want it. However, homosexuality is destructive to individuals and to society and it should never publicly promoted."
"The easiest way to discourage gay pride parades and other homosexual advocacy is to make such activity illegal in the interest of public health and morality," Lively continued.
Judging by the Russian government's recent treatment of gay pride celebrations, Lively's advice appears to have been well-received.
Earlier this year, AFTAH and LaBarbera were also in the news as they pushed to uphold the federal ban against gay blood donors via a campaign titled, "Keep the Gay Blood Ban" or "KGB²." The group urged for individuals to contact their representatives in Washington, D.C., "to put the safety of Americans -- and a pristine blood supply -- ahead of the demands of the selfish Homosexuality Lobby."
In August, AFTAH lost their tax-exempt status because of their failure to file a series of required tax forms with the state for three consecutive years. The group previously hosted a "Truth Academy" instructing "pro-family" advocates as young as 14 with sessions including "From destroying DOMA to homosexualizing the military: Obama's radical homosexual/transsexual agenda for America" and "From gay pride to gay tyranny."Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."....JakePass This Bill! Occupy Wall Street (Updates)!
