Love and Sex in the Time of AIDS
Here’s a link to my latest op-ed, this in the Los Angeles Times of 5 June 2011. I have preserved the original title. In the editing — possibly a telling comment in itself? — “love” was dropped.

Thank you so much for this! This deeper conversation is largely absent in the world of HIV prevention, and yet it goes so far beyond merely preventing HIV. This is great material for group discussion. The paragraph beginning with “In matters of sexual contact” should become required reading for all of us. The terrain between sex and love seems expansive at times and non-existent at others. I feel you’ve provided me with some tools to think about this and talk through it and am very appreciative.
