bewitched

I have decided to take a working vacation and spend some time in my home town of Chicago. The evening session at the National Testing Day Event at the new Center on Halsted holds some promise of great interest for me. Susan Kingston really has pioneered some amazing work and the programs in King County are exemplary. She is the featured speaker for the third session that day. I wonder sometimes, if she is more than a mere mortal. She seems to see truths before others do and tells it as she sees it and so eloquently to boot. And I am completely vexed.

Here's just a single example of the great work at Seattle King County.

Mark National HIV Testing Day on Your Calendars

In conjunction with National HIV Testing Day on Wednesday, June 27, the Center on Halsted and the AIDS Foundation of Chicago will present an exciting, FREE, day-long lecture series entitled: "Preventing HIV: Ethics, Activism, and Promising New Strategies."

The event is organized into three parts: a morning talk - “The Brave New World of HIV Prevention: Human Rights, Human Risks” by amfAR's acting director for public policy Dr. Monica Ruiz, a mid-day lecture - “Public Health: Is it Good Medicine for Women Impacted by HIV?" by world-renowned activist Louise Binder of the Canadian Treatment Action Council and Voices of Positive Women, and an evening session with Susan Kingston, a methamphetamine expert from Seattle, titled “Crystal Meth Uncensored: What the DEA and the Gay Media Won't Tell You”.
