readers to the straits times must have choked over their pratas with this morning front page news. Dr Balaji revealed this hypothesis that the recent sharp spike in local HIV infection was from exposure to gay parties like Nation 04. mr brown has a good write up over here. as always, i have never been interested in adding my 2 cents to this hot topic.
i am however more interested in solutions, and this is one of the best proposals i've heard. its from the highly respected Dan Savage, from the venerable OnionAV Club magazine. Dan first sounded out his ideas over here. You can read more reader comments here.
chris ho once recorded an AIDS benefit single called, Save Sex about a decade ago. crappy song tho it maybe, i remembered feelin proud that the dude managed to put together a tune about sex and get it played on perfect 10 radio. of cos, no way mediacorp radio will have the balls to play such music anymore. pity, cos bad song or otherwise, it did get people talking about sex, and hopefully saving sex.
so in a roundabout kinda way, big up straits times for choking readers in the morning. more talk, more action? yeah yeah.
hootie
