When It Comes To The Hows of Having Sex, Context Is Important
By Theodore (Ted) Kerr
In 1989, on the second annual World AIDS Day, a group of activists called for “maximum disruption” of the holiday season through “non-violent disruption, sabotage, protest, and civil disobedience.” Their suggested targets included shopping malls, theaters, subways, bridges, TV stations and computer networks. Ideas included: not shopping, donating to AIDS research; dumping red die in public fountains; buying junk cars and stalling them on bridges; stink bombing theaters; and for people to “screw up computer systems.” They called themselves GRINCH: Gay Retaliation for Inexcusable Negligence and Criminal Homophobia. They printed posters with their ideas and images from the holiday classic, “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.” This brand of pointed and poignant activism and cultural production with its use of provocation, rage, humor, and camp is part of an AIDS activism with a history. Looking back, we see it being deployed in issues of “Disease Pariah News”, the writings of underground star Cookie Mueller and ACT UP member David Feinberg. And we see it now in the work of writer and performer Brontez Purnell, and in projects like AIDS Action Now’s PosterVIRUS campaign. This activism is attuned to the micro and the macro, aiming to instigate immediate action to improve the lives of people living with HIV while also satirizing the culture which is promulgating injustice. This type of activist sensibility can get lost over time, flattened via the internet and the archive. Often able to grasp this sensibility are those for whom the AIDS crisis is ongoing. An example is the anonymous group of Canadian AIDS activists who earlier this year released, "How To Have Sex in a Police State: One Approach.” It is a pamphlet that raises awareness around ways people living with HIV and those at risk are criminalized. Criminalization occurs through specific laws, high court decisions, and the ongoing criminalization of sex workers, users of drugs, and immigrants; all often further exasperated by issues of race, class, gender and sexual orientation. The collective chose to remain anonymous because as they explain, “Some of the tactics suggested in this document are within a grey area of the law.” They did not want to make themselves the target of state suppression more than they are already. Many of the collective’s members are living with HIV. An important influence on "How To Have Sex in a Police State: One Approach" was “How To Have Sex In An Epidemic: One Approach,” the landmark pamphlet penned by Richard Berkowitz and Michael Callen, with the scientific endorsement of their doctor, Joseph Sonnabend, MD. Their text is one of the earliest calls for gay men to use condoms (along with the Sister’s of Perpetual Indulgence “Play Fair” campaign), and urges people to factor love into the equation. They wrote, “maybe affection is our best protection.” Their argument could be taken as slut shaming, but it’s not. As self-proclaimed sluts themselves, Berkowitz and Callen were arguing for interconnectivity to be recognized within sexual networks, and that love—no matter how one defined it—can be present in every sexual encounter, be it one night only, or ongoing. Talking about the pamphlet, the Canadian activists wondered what an updated version would include, which they attempted to answer in the introduction of the pamphlet:
Thirty-years after the publication of "How to Have Sex in an Epidemic: One Approach" we face a new type of emergency here in Canada. State neglect in the response supporting people with HIV is now coupled with intensified forms of state control, surveillance and criminalization. Canada is among the most punitive countries in the world for HIV-positive people, where the state is turning towards criminalization instead of public education and support.
While it was written from a Canadian perspective, it includes feedback provided by people within the AIDS movement from the US and Canada and can be applied to the idea of HIV related criminalization around the world. It is not intended to be prescriptive, although there are suggested strategies for living with HIV in a police state, such as freezing used condoms. Rather it is descriptive, capturing the current moment and connecting it to the past, drawing attention to what has changed and not changed in the 30+ years bridging "How To Have Sex In An Epidemic: One Approach" and "How to Have Sex in A Police State: One Approach." The title play is intentional. It drives home a message that as destructive as the human immunodeficiency virus it, the epidemic is not just the virus, it is also the police state. By coming together to create a document speaking to people now, using strategies from the past, the anonymous AIDS collective brought together the tender and powerful “confrontational activism” as employed by Berkowitz, Callen, Sonnabend and many others from the early days of AIDS activism, and infused it with their own concerns and tactics. For people living with HIV, functioning in a police state can be a daily crushing blow to an already threatened existence. There is nothing funny about it, and yet sometimes to retain a shred of sanity, to make it clear you are still alive, one must let out a howl of cackle. As Gregg Bordowitz put it, “The AIDS Crisis is Ridiculous.”

While politicians from the U.S. seem hell-bent on ruining the country and trying to bring the world down with it, Alessia Cara, a pop princess from north of the border, used 2017 to make the world a better place, guest-vocaling for world peace.
Born in Brampton, ON, the young Cara got her start like fellow Canadian wunderkind Justin Bieber: a record executive watched her YouTube channel. Fast forward and Cara’s 2015 platinum-selling release Know It All is a bevy of unflinchingly sober-eyed, totally danceable Top 40 anthems. Songs such as “Scars to Your Beautiful” with lyrics like, “You don’t have to change a thing the world can change its heart” became earworms for those of us who need reminding that our tender hearts are not the problem.
But it was in 2017, amid Trump’s tweets, McCain’s votes, Moore’s vile hubris, etc., that Cara did what is so desperately needed. She worked with others to make things better. She brought her gravely gravitas to Zedd sleeper hit “Stay,” grounded Logic’s suicide prevention track, “1-800-273-8255”, and, poignantly, added life to Troye Sivan’s previously released track, “Wild.”
Sivan’s original was dreamy, reminiscent of that last summer before adulthood hits. With Cara, a reckoning is introduced without sacrificing the lightness of the track. Cara sings, “Can we make the most out of no time?” It is an almost impossibly poetic question that, when heard at the end of 2017, highlights the fact that no matter what fortunes befall the United States and the globe, our time is finite, and all we have is each other.

In response Gwyneth Paltrow's AIDS denialists Goop Squad doctor saying dumb stuff about how AIDS are memes, I made some AIDS memes.....
MORE INFO (from newsweek): In 2014, Brogan, a private-practice psychiatrist based in New York, called the idea that HIV is the cause of AIDS a “meme”—a fleeting cultural concept or catchphrase passed around the internet—rather than the established fact that health authorities worldwide consider it. “Drug toxicity associated with AIDS treatment may very well be what accounts for the majority of deaths,” Brogan wrote.
