While on tour, I mark one of my merch bags with “Pens, Needles, HIV Meds”. It’s intended to make the bag undesirable to any passerby.  It’s also intended to humor myself.  But a doctor in Brazil has taken the notion of the AIDS cup and the merch bag to a whole new level- literally, lining her wall with needles filled with HIV-positive blood instead of lining her wall with, say, barbed wire.

Check out the article here.  I bet Austin Powers and Batman could find a way over that wall unharmed.

Positively Yours,
