I Am Not Joking. When I Was Growing Up, I Thought That If I Had Sex I Would Get AIDS And Die. Like, Sex

I am not joking. When I was growing up, I thought that if I had sex I would get AIDS and die. Like, sex ed was bad and AIDS was ongoing. We didn't have the good meds yet when I was young. My mom was terrified of getting medical care because she was convinced the doctors would accidentally give us AIDS with an infected needle. It was actively killing the entire community everywhere when I was a kid. I didn't sleep with anyone who had a penis until I was like 19 because I was like, that's how you get it. I'm bisexual and afab, so this wasn't as dramatic as anything going on with gay men or straight women. I can't even imagine how bad it was for them.

And not only is AIDS still around, the government is constantly trying to dismantle protections against it. Needle exchanges prevented new infections astronomically. Cut them down to near-nothing in places they existed. And they are constantly trying to shut those down.

Planned Parenthood and free and affordable clinics cut down the spread a TON. Subsidized STI testing, free condoms everywhere, and comprehensive sex ed prevented thousands, maybe millions of deaths. And they're trying to get rid of those.

They're trying to bring it back. They're trying to make way for the next big STI pandemic. And they're making ground on this. They're winning some of these fights. And that's fucking terrifying.

I wish someone would hold me, just as I hold my sharky every night. (very tight)
