For Gay Men, a Fear That Feels Familiar: Bacterial Meningitis

A new, casually transmittable infection — a unique strain of bacterial meningitis — has cast a pall over the gay night life and dating scene, with men wondering whether this is AIDS, circa 1981, all over again. Seven men have died in New York City, about a third of diagnosed cases, since 2010. And in the last few months, the contagion seemed to be accelerating.

This PrEP-ed Life: Damon Jacobs on Sex and Dating in a New Era of HIV Prevention

As a licensed therapist working with people living with HIV, Damon Jacobs heard about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as an HIV prevention strategy.
