This is excellent, Rebecca, and I hope the speaker will appeal to those demographics being relentlessly targeted for PrEP marketing. To be perfectly honest, my first impression of her appearance made me wonder if it was going to be a satire, panning your book and pushing PrEP. Sorry for initially succumbing to a stereotype.
To the young woman in this video - from this old man - if you want to be seen as credible, get rid of the darn nose rings and clown-colored-hair. To my generation, these are signs that there is something wrong with you. Sorry but that's the truth. You can do better because you deserve better. Humans put metal rings in the noses of cows to control them. That is part of the history of metal rings. Still, thanks for the very important and useful information about critical current events.
I know. And considering the majority of Americans seem to be engaging/sanctifying in this formerly romantic behavior now--and that at one point it was considered "edgy/rebellious/outsider/I-am-a-romantic-ndividualist-thumbing-my-finger-at-the-majority" behavior--I always wonder: Do any of these people consider that their romantic framing has been upended, turned into "acceptable/mainstream" behavior? And that romanticism (of the Roussean type)--which posits that human beings are inherently "good/sinless"--always somehow ends in nihilism and self-destruction?
The long hair "fad", starting with the Beatles if not before was just an intro to transgenderism. Wake up fellow. And in the 1960's "they" were telling us "don't trust anyone over 30." - separating youth from wisdom. And "Turn on (to drugs/alcohol), tune in, drop out" and the carnage of lives ensued with many casualties that you can still see today. And of course cigarettes were "cool" and the hypertension and cancer ensued. Young people are not yet learned or wise from experience. That's why they are the targets and we, the older people, are not to be listened to. Just what the evil ones want - followers. Wear your mask. Stay home and 6 feet apparent. Get vaccinated. The truly wise are those who question - what Martin Luther King said it best: "At the end of the day, the highest form of maturity is vigorous self examination." - An examination in search of what is true and wise and what is true and evil. The renowned psychiatrist back then, Dr. M. Scott Peck - who was referred to as "The Conscience of Humanity" - had these words of wisdom: "At the root of all mental illness is the denial of the truth." That includes both self-denial or denial-by-others.

i think you're throwing all sorts of stuff together there. quit telling others what to do, how about that for starters?
Well said
nice, just saw a new ad tonight for another drug for Prep. Can't recall the name, but I would imagine it's much the same as Truvada.
