May 6, 2013 | Leave a Comment
A quick post to wish everyone a happy Nurses Day (in the US, or International Nurses Day, which is Sunday–you pick).

The California HIV/STD Prevention Training Center has several online offerings that would be useful–particularly for new clinicians who need to shore up on basics, including the CDC Guidelines. There are online courses, archived webinars and podcasts to choose from, so it’s worth checking out the site. Take note–one of them is a video (15 minutes [...]

Endgame
July 6, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Yesterday, Fresh Air featured the upcoming Frontline documentary, Endgame: AIDS in Black America, which made me realize I needed to remind FHO readers that we have a clinical guide, updated last night, on this issue. Add to this a question on nPEP I received yesterday, along with the newly approved HIV home testing kit, and [...]

Roots of Change
April 11, 2012 | Leave a Comment
I confess I was a tad jealous when I saw the tweets coming through from last year’s Roots of Change conference, sponsored by the Oregon Attorney General’s Sexual Assault Task Force and Men Can Stop Rape. Fantastic workshops and lots of great people getting to share the same space. While it doesn’t give me the [...]

Survivor Voices: September Light
April 4, 2012 | Leave a Comment
I’m a little bit addicted to The Moth podcasts. If you’ve never listened to them, I encourage you to spend a little time on their site, perusing people’s stories. This week’s story is by Barbara Wiener (MP3), and it’s described on the site as, “a perfectionist finds strength and self-acceptance after an assault”. Take 12 minutes or [...]
