A Great year for HIVSTERS!
This year seems to be bursting at the seams with research and medicinal studies about HIV; some claim they can help prevent being infected by HIV, recently there’s talk of slowing the progression of the disease and scientist are even talking about the possibility of cure. It’s exciting stuff!I know there’s a bunch of research to come, probably years of it. But for the first time I feel like there’s a possibility thatgeneration Y will see a cure for HIV/AIDS! Here’s...

Obama to Justice Dept. Stop DOMA!
President Obama has ordered the Justice Department to stop defending DOMA in court! This is a pretty big reversal of policy from his administration…..A President who campaigned on Civil Unions to switch to Marriage equality in a re-election year is a big deal and Hivster.com applauds the President!

Our Pride and Our Prejudice
I’ve lived a varied and interesting life. People often ask me about some of my experiences and the way that they’ve shaped my outlook on life. I done many things, ranging from serving my country in a war to living as a meth addict in Seattle. I’ve traveled the world and had just about the lowest lows and the highest highs any man can have in this life. I’ve done both shameful and admirable things in my time, but none approach my part (in my... Read More
Bullies
By now, we’ve all heard of the “It Gets Better Project.” Just in case you live under a rock and aren’t aware of it, it’s a series of YouTube videos created and starring a variety of folks from LGBT celebrities, to straight allies, to random Joes like you and me with a simple message for those being bullied on the basis of their sexual orientation: just sit tight.

I can’t even begin to count the amount of gay bars I’ve been to in my time; I’m 25 but I got a good eight years under my belt. Partied in ‘em big and small but in all honesty, Dempsey’s Brassrail is probably the friendliest and most non-pretentious bar around. Read More +

More than one French cliché come to mind when thinking of French-Canadian, queer-guerilla film director Bruce LaBruce, and he’s back with another feature-length, “LA Zombie,” but don’t expect to see it any time soon alongside Disney’s latest at your nearest Hollywood dumping ground/mega-plex.

The Tattoo
The story behind the new tattoo on my right wrist. Sitting in the doctor’s office after class a few weeks ago, I had a sense of what was coming. I had blood drawn a week prior and got the call that my doctor needed to talk to me about the results of my blood work. Read More +
Beauty and the Beast.
I’m going to be so pissed if I’m not better for this tour. ……I’m already psyched for this NEW GaGa! I can’t believe she’s going all….. Goth-Industrial-Party-Kid-Dance. I was definitely thinking Brittany Spears crazy or finding God. And my boyfriend and I were talking about Thierry Mugler (you don’t even wanna know what’s in my head right now…just Google him), I guess this is what he’s been up... Read More

They Claim that they are in a “David and Goliath” situation, which is total crap.This is another chapter in these two multi-millionaires continued temper- tantrum through the courts trying to get some of that Facebook gold they “claim”...
