Description

There continues to be a lack of health sex education that is queer and trans inclusive. Many of us
are not exposed to our resources until later in life yet must learn everything regarding
heterosexual sex practices and resources. This feels extremely homophobic and transphobic
given the health induced epidemic we as a community experienced 40 years ago during the HIV/AIDS crisis. Now, in the midst of another global pandemic, reminiscent of survival’s guilt and potential recollections of the past and feelings of “we’ve been here before”, we must educate and provide adequate resources around health education. In this short I engage in a reflective platíca where I revisit the first date with my partner where I learn about his status of being HIV+. The aim is to understand how we can move towards destigmatizing sex in our communities that are impacted by HIV and provide current resources, practices, and ultimately share how I am positively in love.
