Babies R HIVers
Babies made HIV news a second time this week when researchers took a giant step forward in determining how best to treat wee ones who have HIV.
Dr. Garlic's Beauty Tips for Dying PWAs
Her name is Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, but during her seven years as South Africa’s controversial health commissioner, her many critics have called her Dr. No, Dr. Who and Dr. Doolittle.

Supervirus Spotted... On TV
Three months after it first reared its ugly head, the HIV supervirus lives on—if only in the minds of the fearful (and increasingly amused) citizenry.
Racism, Denialism and Déjà Vu
One of the noisiest HIV dustups of the week centers on events that are more than a decade old, when HIV foster children—many of them African-American “crack babies”— were given then-experimental HIV drugs like high-dose AZT, by government-funded scientists.

HIV Disclosure: Don't Axe, Don't Tell?
One summer night Down Under, Gary Michael Dolan and his stepmum were drinking and jawing as usual when he decided the time had come to tell her he had HIV. Her response was very disappointing. So, after draining a bottle of rum, Dolan took revenge and axed her to death.

Coming Soon... A Kinder, Gentler Once-a-Day Kaletra?
With headlines as bright as the big orange capsules of Kaletra itself, HIVers’ hopes were buoyed this week by word that yet another HIV med has entered the age of once-a-day dosing: Abbott Laboratories’ protease inhibitor (PI) can now be taken once—all six caps at a time—rather than twice daily.

The Campaign to End AIDS, the much-heralded and long-awaited activist movement dubbed C2EA, came stomping into Washington yesterday and right up onto President George W. Bush's doorstep.
Brazil to Bush:
The government of Brazil took a bold (and costly) stand this week against the Bush administration's pro-Christian, anti-condom HIV prevention policies by rejecting a $40 million grant conditioned on a blanket condemnation of prostitution.
More Talk On AIDS Action
In a follow-up to last week's lead story, "Leading Advocate Resigns from AIDS Action Council," Craig Miller emailed POZ to "thank you for your interest in my resignation from the AIDS Action Foundation Board of Directors and my reasons for it."

He also begged to differ on a few points, most notably that in our piece, POZ had Miller saying AAC head Marsha Martin had refused to address "her own Board's concerns." In fact, Miller wrote, he knew of only one board member—himself—whom Martin had failed to get back to after promising to do so.

Last week's dispatch from the Blog Behind the Curtain

The 20th Annual AIDS Walk
went off without a hitch on Sunday, May 15—but not without a bitch. That would be none other than the grande dame of AIDS activism Larry Kramer, who never founded an organization he didn’t grow to love-hate, including GMHC itself. The legendarily angry author (Faggots, The Normal Heart and The Tragedy of Today’s Gays) lambasted GMHC’s executive director, Ana Oliveira, in a Monday morning e-mail, when he heard that arch-enemy (and ex-neighbor), former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, had delivered a speech at the traditional AIDS Walk breakfast ceremony. “What an intense slap in the face that is to me and to many multitudes of others... Who is behind this ‘rehabilitation’ of this Hitler?The image “http://www.poz.com/images/GMHC_AIDSWalk_05.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
