are many ways to help...
In 2008, the National Association of People with AIDS
launched National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness
Day to recognize the disproportionate impact of the
epidemic on gay men.
The
observance offers an opportunity to raise awareness
about stopping HIV stigma and encouraging HIV testing,
prevention, and treatment for HIV among gay and bisexual
men, who often face multiple challenges—such as
racism, homophobia, discrimination, and stigma—which
may increase the risk of HIV.
AIDS
United has resources on PrEP and PEP and additional
ways to get involved in the day here.

one of ourselves, our family, neighbors,
co-workers and friends we call on every

With
the extraordinary economic disruption
and hardship the COVID-19 pandemic has
brought to Pennsylvania, over 1.65 million
Pennsylvanians have filed for unemployment
compensation. To help in these unprecedented
times Governor Wolf has just announced
two different websites for those seeking
assistance with food in PA.
Updates
to the HPV Section of the Adult and Adolescent Opportunistic
Infections Guidelines
The Human
Papillomavirus Disease (HPV) section
of the Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment
of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults
and Adolescents has been updated.
The Panel updated the recommendation on HPV vaccination
in females and males with HIV infection ages 13
to 26 years to the 9-valent HPV recombinant vaccine
(0.5 ml at 0, 1 to 2, and 6 months) (AIII). For
patients who have completed a vaccination series
with the recombinant bivalent or quadrivalent vaccines,
many experts would give an additional full series
of the 9-valent recombinant vaccine (CIII).
December
1 is World AIDS Day
December 1 marks the 30th anniversary of World AIDS
Day, a day set aside each year to highlight worldwide
efforts to combat HIV/AIDS, to show support for
those living with HIV, and to remember those who
have died from the infection. Despite much progress,
HIV remains a global public health threat. According
to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
in 2017, worldwide approximately 36.9 million people
were living with HIV, an estimated 940,000 people
died from AIDS-related illnesses, and about 1.8
million people were newly infected with HIV.
