Greetings my fellow Kossacks! Today GLBT and Friends at Daily Kos have asked me, FogCityJohn, to deliver a special report on recent news in the world of HIV/AIDS. As some of you may know, I'm HIV+ and a blogger at TheBody.com, one of the nation's largest HIV websites, so HIV is an issue near and dear to my heart.
It's been a big week or so on the HIV front. President Obama released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States. In addition, the XVIII International AIDS Conference wrapped up today in Vienna, Austria. So I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to share some of the news with you.
One thing I should clarify before we begin, though. While GLBT and Friends have graciously allowed me use of their account for this diary, all editorial commentary and opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily represent the views of GLBT and Friends at Daily Kos or of any other member of our group.
So with that caveat, let's make the jump!
