I just found out that Stephenie Meyer's genderswapped republication of Twilight had its characters go from Edward and Bella to Edythe and Beaufort, two names so astonishingly funny that I had to leave the desk and pretend to examine a display so my supervisor didn't see me laugh

FACTS!

Additions: if your viral load is suppressed by medication to the point it’s undetectable, it’s considered untransmittable, even without condoms. Children with HIV+ carriers are usually given medication when they’re born, to make sure any of the virus doesn’t take hold (which we also do to adults who fear they’ve been exposed, it’s called PEP ((Post Exposure Prophylaxis)), which is a month of medication and must be started within 72 hours of exposure).

(There’s also PreP - Pre Exposure Prophylaxis, which is taking medication if you feel you are at risk of being exposed to HIV, whether through sexual partners or sharing injection needles)

This is why we need universal free healthcare - so people can go on and have happy, healthy lives despite the HIV diagnosis. Nobody should die or live in fear when the treatment is so damn simple and effective.

This is super great. And also would like to tell you about Sperm Positive!

Sperm Positive is the first ever HIV + sperm bank in the world, located in New Zealand.

As those who manage HIV can’t pass down the virus to off spring, the first ever clinic now allows HIV + people to donate sperm and trying mothers now have more opportunities to fall pregnant with a baby who will not carry HIV.

I hope we can see more of this in the world. Medication has come so far and those living with HIV shouldn’t be discriminated against.

Educate and procreate!
