I couldn't agree witm Mark more. I met a 23yo who was certain two guys could get HIV sexually even if neither of them had it. Then there was the twink in the bar who turned to me and said you "older guys are great to hang out with but then you you just dump us"...he's right. (I'm saying "older toungue in cheek" b/c 39..is not that old I know..but he was 21) Something is way, way wrong with our lack of community, particularly in Boston. There is no connection...and it's just like my 45yo HIV+ buddy said to me on the street corner last Friday..."God I'm glad I'm partnered...Boston sucks for single guys". What is wrong with us? The data is in...a crisis isn't on the horizon, it's here. It's complex. Thank God Mark has an Auntie. Come on brothers! Our younger ones and brothers of color are getting hurt and we are are hurting ourselves. Time to mobilize. Touche says the 40 year old “older man”.
