Worth shouting that undetectable means untransmissable. Remembering in particular the generation of bi and gay men lost to AIDS, but also hopeful for a future where PreP exists and #UEqualsU. Now let's end the stigma.
#WorldAIDSDay

➡️ Remember, honor and celebrate those who we have lost due to HIV/AIDS. Personally, I’m thinking about my uncle Patrice ❤️ and others 🫶

➡️ #EndStigma

➡️ Spread the message #UEqualsU (& all HIV prevention strategies; #PrEP etc..)

My "waterproof" down jacket never really recovered after the battering it got in the Icelandic rainstorm so I'm washing it with down tech wash and dryer balls and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I haven't ruined it. Thoughts and prayers.

It's funny because it's true 😆. Did you mean cup or did you mean cylindrical container with a slight taper at one end made of material which is approximately 3mm thick and has a density and appearance consistent with a porcelain handleless hipster cup.
Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Radiologist: Fluid-level in the mid portion of the cup which may be half full and/or half empty, possibly infectious or inflammatory.
