Yeah I hate to say it, but I worked in HIV prevention in the late 2000s, and we really thought prep was going to be the end of HIV, along with rigorous testing and linkage to care.

Since then, HIV rates have exploded in many areas, silently, because we've gone fully regressive on sex ed.

I have friends that became HIV positive before they even knew about prep.

WTF happened.

This is actually not true. People are ~~actually more left than~~ mostly the same ideologically as when they were younger, even though the right wing takeover of media would have us believe that people have swung right.
