EP 20. Pleasurable Prevention – PrEP Facts: Rethinking HIV and Sex  (Conversations with Damon Jacobs)

Damon Jacobs, New York-based MFT, advocate and HIV prevention educator, author, and expert in the field of PrEP joins the show today. He and David discuss what PrEP is, where people can get it, and the major changes it is making in the field of HIV and harm reduction. Damon discusses the changes PrEP has made since it’s come out, who could benefit from using it, and the amazing avenues he and his team are providing for intelligent and meaningful conversations on the subject.   TAKEAWAYS: [1:43] PrEP is the use of the antiretroviral drug Truvada, to prevent zero conversion of HIV, should someone be exposed. [2:05] Damon has been an HIV Prevention Educator since 1991, a time when communities were being decimated by the AIDS epidemic. Damon saw that to have integrity in the role, it meant he needed to get out and help communities learn about safe sex to the best of his own ability. He personally started using PrEP in 2011, and the FDA approved it in 2012. [5:53] PrEP is a daily pill that blocks the T cells of someone with HIV duplicating and replicating in the individual taking the pill Truvada, which is a combination of two drugs, tenofovir and emtricitabine. [9:30] Damon sees some of the positive “side effects” of PrEP being that people are getting more physicals, and getting regular STI checks. [12:07] The Magnet Clinic in San Francisco reported that 91% of people they start on PrEP come to their clinic because they already gave up using condoms, or they are inconsistent in their use. [14:53] Studies have shown that you may not need to take PrEP daily if you are able to predict and organize when you do have sex. You can double up on use, but it is something that should be discussed with an expert. [19:14] Damon’s Facebook group, PrEP Facts Rethinking HIV Prevention and Sex, has 21,200 international members and is a safe place for people to come and have intelligent and meaningful conversations about the subject. [22:17] The U.S. has seen a historical drop from 50,000 new cases a year to 38,000 new cases, and PrEP was partially attributed to that. There are also drops in new HIV diagnosis in cities where it is widely implemented and normalized like San Francisco and New York. [24:31] There are many avenues for people in the United States to get PrEP for a low cost or free because of existing financial support systems. [27:28] There are three documented cases where an individual was adhering to PrEP and they did acquire HIV. However, there is very little risk involved and the benefits are huge.   RESOURCES: Magnet Clinic Dr. Dave Glidden PrEP Facts CDC Patient Advocate Foundation U=U PrEPLocator.org PrEPforsex.org DamonLJacobs.com  Rational Relating  Absolutely Should-Less   QUOTES: ● “We can recall that knowing people with AIDS meant losing people to AIDS.” ● “PrEP will soon be an umbrella term, like the way we use birth control today, to describe different interventions.” ● “You don’t need an agency anymore, a WiFi connection will get the word out about PrEP.” ● “There is no more exciting time than now to be doing this work.”

What PrEP Is, and Why Someone Would Want to Use It with Damon Jacobs

Jonny McGovern

Jonny McGovern is back on OUTSpoken &amp; Talking with Sex is Back – Damon Jacobs Will Help Answer your Questions 2016-4-17OUTSpoken“HEY QWEEN”, THE GAYEST TALK SHOW OF ALL TIME, GETS A MAKE-OVER FOR ITS  FOURTH RAUCOUS SEASON January 25, 2016 – NEW YORK: Hey Qween!, the world’s gayest talk show of all time, is getting a face-lift this winter. When the show returns for its fourth season next month, it will debut a sexy new look and sound. For three hilarious seasons, comedian Jonny McGovern and his co-host Lady Red Couture have welcomed many of the countries top LGBT and drag talent − including RuPaul, Laganga Estranja, and Candis Cayne − to their couch. On February 15th,Hey Qween! launches its fourth raucous season ontheStream.tv. “Hey Qween! is a place for gay stars and underground legends to come and tell their stories in a way they can’t on any other talk show,” explains host and executive producer, Jonny McGovern. “We cut up, have a kiki and a gay ‘ol time. Then, at the end of every show, the special guest gets a trophy and a lap dance from one of our in-house strippers! It’s a half hour of pure merriment.” “You don’t have to be gay to be on Hey Qween!,’ he adds. “Just gay friendly and ready for fun.” Lots of changes are in store for the upcoming season of Hey Qween! including a brand new set and the addition of a regular cast member. Billboard charting vocalist Adam Joseph joins the gang as bandleader of “Adam Joseph and The Go To Bed Wigs”. “For years our show has been called The Tonight Show if Johnny Carson was a big gay lumberjack and Ed McMahon was the largest drag queen in captivity,” continues McGovern. “Now we got a glittery twink version of Doc Severinsen.” Adam Joseph has a long association with Jonny McGovern. He is the voice of the Hey Qween! theme song and the music producer behind all of McGovern’s albums. The addition of a bandleader will mean more music parodies and comedy to the show. Also new will be a series of “Drag Besties” episodes, kicking off with Detox and Vicky Vox of the Drag supergroup DWV. Fan-favorite segments returning this season are “Betta As a Bitch Track”, where the show trolls the trolls, turning real life negative comments from the Internet into over-the-top “bitch tracks” and the “Look At Huh!” game, where guests share their personal stories of celebrities. Jonny “The Gay Pimp” McGovern’s career began in 2003 with Dirty Gay Hits, a collection of hilarious gay themed songs. The video release of “Soccer Practice” from the album received over three million downloads and was added to rotation on MTV Europe and MTV Asia, making Jonny an international phenomenon. Soon, he was appearing all over the airwaves, on The Ricky Lake Show, VH1’s Best Week Ever, Comedy Central’s Out on the Edge, and more. Jonny eventually caught the eye of Rosie O’Donnell, who cast him as a lead player on her LOGO-TV comedy show, The Big Gay Sketch Show. “Working with Jonny is one of the joys of my life,” says Lady Red Couture from the Hey Qween! set in Hollywood. “He’s so sweet. I’ll never forget when RuPaul came to visit and we were filming the opening banter and I messed up. So Jonny says, ‘Don’t be nervous because RuPaul is here.’ Then RuPaul says, ‘DO be nervous because RuPaul is here!’ Oh, I wet myself laughing!” “We’ve become the best of friends making Hey Qween!“ reflects Jonny McGovern of his relationship with Lady Red Couture. “She’s such a quick wit and naturally funny. People think that because I’m executive producer of the show, I also direct her. You don’t ever make Lady Red do anything. If she’s eating on the show, its cause the bitch wants a snack! I just let Lady Red be herself and that’s more than enough.” Hey Qween! has been so successful for theStream.tv, the online network launched the show as its own YouTube channel and has plans to launch a stand-alone website. The show has also spawned several spin-offs, including the Look At Huh! aftershow that began airing last spring. In March,theStream.tv will begin airing the second seasons of: Judge Lady Red, a court show with Lady Red presiding over the disputes of young queens and deciding whether it’s ‘Shade’ or ‘No Shade’; He’s Fit, a parody of fitness shows starring lap dancer Greg McKeon as he competes in flex battles against Instagram hotties; and Hot T, a bi-weekly gossip show with Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard (from Bravo’s The People’s Couch) breaking down the hot topics of the week. A new advice show, Hey Qween Can I Axe You A Question?, will premiere later this season. “We’re thrilled to bring back Hey Qween! for a fourth season,” says theStream.tv’s Susan Wrenn. “Jonny and Lady Red are both so talented and passionate about what they do. Their creativity inspires everyone here at theStream.tv.” Look for Jonny McGovern and Lady Red Couture this summer when they host Pride Festivals and bring their Hey Qween!nightclub show to cities across the country. The fourth season of Hey Qween! begins airing February 15th on theStream.tv. ————————————–  WELCOME!

Lets Talk About Sex with Damon Jacobs on OUTSpoken

Episode 62 (Air Date: MARCH 19, 2015) This episode is going to seem a bit out of the ordinary. Today Ben is interviewing Damon L. Jacobs (Psychotherapist &amp; PrEP Educator) about HIV Prevention. Did you know that we now have a pill that can actually PREVENT HIV infection by up to 99% when taken daily? If you didn’t know…   Now you do.  After listening to today’s episode, you will be an expert on Truvada, which is known as PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis).  You will be able to talk to your friends and loved ones about how it prevents HIV infection, how to actually get access to it, and pretty much any other questions you might have — they’ll be answered in this episode. This is my personal plea with each of you to take on sharing this information with the people you care about, however you choose to do that:  share this episode with them, have a conversation with them, etc. Here are some helpful links: www.DamonLJacobs.com   (Damon Jacobs’ Website) www.Prepolicious.org   (A centralized location on the web for information about PrEP) https://www.facebook.com/groups/PrEPFacts/ (a Facebook discussion group about PrEP) Damon invites any and all questions and can be reached at: Damon@DamonLJacobs.com Some useful links/studies: PLAY: Spirochete by Arnold Sungaard (about the controversy about the cure for syphilis) VIDEO: Honey LaBronx speaks out about PrEP (*NOTE: Some of this information is now outdated — please see this episode or the above links for updated info.) STUDY: The IPERGAY Study (France) which looks at new possible dosage methods for Truvada) STUDY: The Partners Trial which follows serodiscordant couples (where one is HIV positive, and one is HIV negative) A HISTORY OF HYSTERIA: Just for fun…  let’s remember that throughout history, a cure for syphilis was considered controversial because some thought that people who engaged in sex outside of marriage should suffer the consequences, even if they were fatal.  Even SEAT BELTS were controversial when first introduced, because people thought they would encourage speeding!  Also controversial was birth control…  condoms… and of course now PrEP/Truvada.
