*MSMGF Releases Second Edition of SENSE, a Multimedia Publication by and for
MSM Living with HIV*
*Writers from Colombia, Venezuela, China and the United States explore the
many meanings of access*
The MSMGF is excited to announce the latest edition of SENSE, the
organizations quarterly publication written by and for men who have sex
with men (MSM) living with HIV. Featuring writers from three different
continents, the publications second issue offers a wide range of stories
about the concept of access as experienced in relationships, communities,
love and self.
Guest editor Qiu Feng, an HIV advocate based in Kunming, opens the issue
with a candid look at discrimination and access to services for MSM living
with HIV in China. It becomes clear that access means more than just
healthcare, as Colombian psychologist Juan Calderón writes of overcoming
suspicions that positive men cannot find healthy relationships. PhD
candidate Matthew Thomann brings a distinctly academic perspective as he
discusses the importance of community among MSM in a west African city. And
Carlos Rivas, a Venezuelan artist living in Toronto, examines the need for
gay men to understand their sexuality as a form of positive communication
and self-expression.
Each essay is available in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish,
accompanied by audio recordings of the authors reading their work in its
original language. The issue also includes useful information on viral load
tests, lab results, and other important health issues to monitor for
successful treatment.
The second issue of SENSE can be found on the MSMGF's website at
www.msmgf.org/html/sense/sense.html.
