By Wyatt O'Brian Evans|2018-03-25T07:59:28-04:00March 25th, 2018|Categories: blog|Tags: HIV, syphilis|0 Comments

This disparity varies widely between states, which could be as a result in part by more frequent testing among MSM living with the virus. Or, the disparity could be minimized by more sexual contacts [...]

Oh, “Gawd!” You’re an LGBTQ guy or gal simply dreading THAT time of year—the holidays! Why might you be in a major funk?

Every October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DWAM). It evolved from the “Day of Unity” held in October 1981 and conceived by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

Within the LGBTQ community, domestic violence and abuse is referred to as Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A). This atrocious cycle of behavior is [...]

Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A) is a serious, potentially life-threatening—but preventable--public health problem that impacts millions of Americans. Specifically, IPV/A describes the physical, sexual, emotional and/or psychological harm perpetrated by a current or former partner or spouse who is LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning). This type of violence also can occur among heterosexual or same-sex couples, and does not require sexual intimacy. [...]

Just what does the (possibly) a little odd, a tad exotic acronym “IPV/A” stand for? Well, it refers to Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse, which is generally known as domestic violence and abuse (DVA) within the LGBTQ community. Sadly and unfortunately, this demeaning and horrendous cycle of behavior is an ongoing serious societal issue. And more prevalent than was once believed. As a journalist, I've extensively researched and reported on [...]
