Today we take time out to reflect on AIDS, how it has affected our lives as gay men, who it has killed, and why we should always play safe.
What I think about most is all of our gay brothers who have died or are living with AIDS. I miss those you have died, and I cherish those who are living proudly and passionately as HIV positive men.
If I could grant one wish today, it would be for AIDS to be wiped off the face of the Earth. But I know that is a selfish wish. But still, in our daily lives, we can make sure that AIDS is something that we can prevent. Safer sex is definitely one way. Also being honest with our partners is yet another way.
Only we as responsible gay men can beat AIDS and keep it from spreading among our tribe.
So today we remember those who have died, we can pledge to continue the fight against the spread of AIDS in our lives. Playing safe, and being responsible for ourselves and our partners, are the best defenses against AIDS.
One day, hopefully, we will not have reason for a World AIDS Day. Until then, each of us can never let down our guard. Together we can make progress in the fight, the fight that will be won, and make sure that those lives lost were not lost in vain.

just passing through...love the blog...and your wish is not selfish; it's sincere. Thank you fpr reminding everyone that we still have a long way to go.
Beautiful post and beautiful pictures as always Buff... thank you so much...
I'm still negative, but it's hard to constantly keep my guard up. But the alternative is a lot less attractive. Most of my friends died, my brother is still alive thanks to the cocktail, but I know the emotional ramifications, not to mention the side effects of the pills have devastated him. Hot pictures on your blog, I'm still confused where you live though.
Thanks for your blog it's always to the point and hot!!! Love the mesh tank by the way you look great in it...
