     Due to popular demand, I’ve created a Special Section on WYATTEVANS.COM devoted to Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A), which is domestic violence/abuse within the LGBTQ Community.     This Special Section includes:  exactly what IPV/A is and means; it’s consequences and ramifications;  a list of resources you can tap into; and all of my articles on this demoralizing, dehumanizing—and potentially life-threatening behavior.     [...]

Sex In Prison, Part One

By |2016-05-24T19:15:11-04:00May 24th, 2016|Categories: blog|Tags: , , , , |4 Comments

     It’s an unfortunate fact that Black men—vastly over represented within our prison system—make up a high percentage of HIV-positive inmates. And according to the study, “Incarcerated Black Men Report Sex in Prison, Posing Challenges for HIV Prevention and Treatment,” these males pose an infection risk not only to other inmates—but to members of their communities once they are released.  The study was [...]

HIV Crim: A Dangerous Global Phenom

By |2016-05-17T15:00:54-04:00May 17th, 2016|Categories: blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

     What does the word phenom mean?  Well, as the shortened form of phenomenon, it refers to “a person or thing of outstanding abilities or qualities.”     However, when applied to HIV criminalization, it takes on an entirely different understanding or subtext, which is ominous…and dangerous.  You see, a new report by the HIV Justice Network and the Global Network of People [...]

By |2016-05-11T10:00:38-04:00May 11th, 2016|Categories: blog|Tags: , , |0 Comments

     Get a load of this encouraging new development:  recent research has indicated that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may have overstated the size of the U.S. HIV population, while significantly underestimating the share that has a fully suppressed viral load (undetectable).  Researchers utilized HIV lab reporting to estimate prevalence of the disease in New York City and 19 [...]

By |2016-05-03T09:00:58-04:00May 3rd, 2016|Categories: blog, ipva|Tags: , , , |0 Comments

     So finally, you’ve managed to make your “Great Escape” from your abuser.  (Great Escape is the term I’ve coined for my LGBTQ Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse workshops and seminars.)  And after he/she fully absorbs that you’ve indeed found or reclaimed your backbone and guts, the counteroffensive begins in earnest with “plastic” pleas that include, “I really didn’t mean it,” “I was [...]
