HIV – Science, June 20, 2025, “Always ‘one atom away’: The long, rocky journey to an HIV prevention breakthrough.” About lenacapavir.
Subtitle:
Developing lenacapavir, the drug newly approved to protect against HIV for six months in one shot, took basic science, sophisticated chemistry, and perseverance.
About the development of lenacapavir.
We still need a vaccine. We need to stop having Gays get HIV in the first places, so they don’t have to take drugs for life. Also, we can’t assume that Gays will always be able to get lenacapavir, they maybe won’t have the money or it will be blocked by some homophobes. See the next HIV article.
HIV – Science, June 18, 2025, “Will long-lasting HIV preventive be a game changer—or a missed opportunity?”
Subtitle:
FDA’s approval of lenacapavir comes at a time when global health cuts could stall its rollout
We need a vaccine. We need to NOT depend on government supported health plans.

New research on aging.
Nature, June 17, 2025, “How your brain controls ageing — and why zombie cells could be key.”
The “zombie” cells are senescent cells. It is a little irritating to see Nature magazine adopt click bait practices. However, it is a really good article.

More artists added. I think this list now is over 200 Gay artists.
The above is related to item 3, Support and lead in the development and self-realization of the Gay community.”
Revised the post. The goal isn’t to have people give up religion in general, just homophobic Christianity.
I realize that some people are always going to be religious. Also, my goal is to protect he Gay community, and not anything else.
I will be revising this post as I get feedback and have additional clarifying thoughts.
I am going to have to think about how to get this started. I think we need to get organized.
This above is related to item #1, “Protect Gays from harm, including assault, physical and verbal, defamation, so-called converstion therapy, and discrimination.”
