g_b File - Personal Advertisements
Hi All 2 personal advertisements seeking mates a month are allowed on the list. Its unfair to others if you post your advertisement every few days. In the past, many have complained that they see too many personal advertisements on the list. So a restriction of 2 personal advertisements per month has been imposed. In case you want to reply to a members personal advertisement, kindly click on the persons email address. This will ensure that your reply goes to the concerned person and not to entire list which is what happens when you hit the reply button. So please reply directly to the advertiser and not to the whole group in case your reply is personal.

g_b File - E mail problems?
Hi Have you stopped getting emails from this group suddenly? It is highly unlikely that your name has been deleted from the list. We do not delete anybodys membership until and unless the person repeatedly spams or sends pornographic/crude emails you might not be getting your mails is because your email is on the bouncing list. Some members have trouble with bouncing e-mails: Messages that are sent out by the group cannot be delivered to their mailboxes and are sent back to Yahoo. This can happen for various reasons, for example, when their mailboxes are full, or their e-mail addresses have become obsolete, etc. Yahoo doesn't tolerate bouncing mails and will deactivate these persons' memberships. It will, however, send you a reactivation request. All you have to do is reply to that (once you've fixed the problem with your mailbox), and Yahoo will resume sending you the messages. We will also send out these requests daily. Bounced Messages If you subscribe to a Yahoo Groups discussion group under one of the e-mail options (normal or digest), Yahoo Groups will suspend sending mail to you after repeated attempts bounce back. To see your recent bounced messages, view your Yahoo Groups preferences at http://groups.yahoo.com/myprefs and click Bounce history for your e-mail address. For more information on bounced-message handling by Yahoo Groups, search Yahoo Groups help for the word bounce. Why does it say my account is bouncing? If group messages sent to your email address are returned to Yahoo! Groups as undeliverable (bouncing), your Yahoo! Groups account may be temporarily disabled. Messages can be returned for several reasons: Your mailbox may be full -- try deleting messages from your Inbox. Your ISP may have a backlog of email to process -- contact your ISP. Your ISP may be blocking email from Yahoo! Groups -- contact your ISP. In many cases, Yahoo! Groups can automatically reactivate your account once the delivery problem is solved. However, in some cases you will need to manually reactivate your account: 1. Visit your My Groups page. 2. Look for a bounce alert near the top of the page. 3. Click the Alert link to reactivate your account.

g_b Fwd: London World Gay Pride shambles
FYI-All - Aditya B -- Forwarded message -- From: Peter Tatchell Foundation no-re...@petertatchellfoundation.org Date: 29 June 2012 18:09 Subject: London World Gay Pride shambles To: adit.b...@gmail.com *London World Gay Pride shambles * *Floats banned, Soho events cancelled, rally restricted Mayor, police Westminster urged to re-open negotiations * London - 29 June 2012 “The sudden, drastic curtailment of the World Pride parade, rally and street parties is a huge blow to London and its gay community. The promised extravaganza looks set to descend into a chaotic damp squib. Visitors from all over Britain and the world face disappointment. It will do great damage to London’s reputation just three weeks before the Olympics,” said human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, who helped organise Britain’s first Gay Pride parade, held in London 40 years ago, in July 1972. He is Director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation. Mr Tatchell was commenting on the announcement by the organisers that the World Pride events in London on Saturday 7 July will be massively scaled back. See their news release below. This year is the first time that London has hosted World Pride, which brings together lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people from all over the world to participate in a parade, rally and human rights conference. The event’s slogan is: “Decriminalise homosexuality worldwide - Global equality for LGBT people.” This year’s World Pride is hosted and organised by Pride London: http://www.pridelondon.orghttp://petertatchellfoundation.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4379a080f75712b27b8aa2fbdid=601d87eaf1e=7cab07c349 London police and municipal authorities accuse the World Pride organisers of unpaid debts and failing to advance the necessary funds to cover this year’s events. The World Pride organisers dispute last year’s debts and assert that the funds required would have been raised eventually, to allow this year’s festivities to proceed largely as planned. The veracity of claim and counter-claim is impossible to ascertain. “I urge the mayor, police and Westminster council to re-open negotiations with the World Pride organisers to allow the scheduled events to take place, for the sake of the million-plus people expected to participate and to avoid widespread chaos across central London. “The authorities are accused of unexpectedly and unreasonably demanding that the advertised parade start time be switched from 1pm to 11am. At this late stage, it will not be possible to alert all the people who are planning to attend. Many are arriving on pre-booked trains, planes and coaches, based on a kick-off time of 1pm. They will arrive at the start point long after the parade has departed and will be left wandering the streets, not knowing where to go. “The change in the parade start time is a huge gamble by the mayor, police and Westminster council. The scheduled orderly parade could well descend into mayhem, with the much of central London becoming gridlocked for hours with vast confused crowds. “Banning floats in the parade is a big blow to the many LGBT charities that have spent thousands of pounds on hiring and decorating them. They will lose a major opportunity to raise their profile and publicise their work. “The shortening of the post-parade rally in Trafalgar Square will force organisers to drop booked entertainers and human rights speakers. The main street party in Soho has been cancelled. These ill-advised decisions are likely to result in hundreds of thousands of people milling aimlessly around the West End. It is a recipe for confusion and disruption. “The actions of the authorities will turn what would have been a positive event for London into a PR disaster. Vast numbers of people will be left feeling let down and angry. “Regardless of these problems, the parade will go head. Without the floats and parties, it will revert to its roots - a protest march for LGBT human rights worldwide. This is entirely appropriate, as July is the 40th anniversary of the UK’s first-ever Gay Pride parade, which took place in London on 1 July 1972,” said Mr Tatchell. *For further information:* Peter Tatchell, Director, Peter Tatchell Foundation 0207 403 1790 Email: pe...@petertatchellfoundation.org Web: www.PeterTatchellFoundation.orghttp://petertatchellfoundation.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4379a080f75712b27b8aa2fbdid=4a845d529ae=7cab07c349 *World Pride / Pride London news release * *CHANGES TO WORLD PRIDE CELEBRATIONS IN LONDON 7 JULY 2012* Following an all-agency meeting at City Hall on the 27th June regarding the Pride London World Pride 2012 celebrations on the 7th of July, we're pleased to announce that despite previous misreports in the press about cancelation, this crucial event to celebrate the equality and diversity of the LGBT community will be going ahead.

g_b HIV transmission risk during anal sex 18 times higher than during vaginal sex
http://www.aidsmap.com/HIV-transmission-risk-during-anal-sex-18-times-higher-than-during-vaginal-sex/page/1446187/ HIV transmission risk during anal sex 18 times higher than during vaginal sex Roger Pebody Published: 28 June 2010 The risk of HIV transmission during anal intercourse may be around 18 times greater than during vaginal intercourse, according to the results of a meta-analysis published online ahead of print in the*International Journal of Epidemiology.* Moreover, as well as this empirical work, the researchers from Imperial College and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine carried out a modelling exercise to estimate the impact that HIV treatment has on infectiousness during anal intercourse. They estimate that the risk of transmission from a man with suppressed viral load may be reduced by as much as 99.9%. Anal intercourse drives the HIV epidemic amongst gay and bisexual men. Moreover a substantial proportion of heterosexuals have anal sex but tend to use condoms less frequently than for vaginal sex, and this may contribute to heterosexual epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. Rebecca Baggaley and colleagues conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis (an analysis of all the medical research that meets predefined requirements) of the risk of HIV transmission during unprotected anal intercourse. The same authors have already conducted similar reviews of the transmission risk during vaginal sexhttp://www.aidsmap.com/Heterosexual-HIV-transmission-more-likely-with-sexually-transmitted-infections-early-or-late-stage-disease-no-circumcision-or-anal-sex/page/1433763/? and oral sexhttp://www.aidsmap.com/Oral-sex-risk-very-low-but-not-zero-concludes-systematic-review/page/1432786/? . Despite the importance of the topic, only 16 studies were judged to be relevant enough to include in the review. While 12 were conducted with gay or bisexual men, others collected data on heterosexuals who frequently had anal intercourse. All studies were from Europe or North America. Although the researchers looked for studies published up to September 2008, almost all the reports used data that were collected in the 1980s or early 1990s, which means that the findings do not reflect combination therapy’s impact on transmission. The researchers were not able to include a study with Australian gay menhttp://www.aidsmap.com/Gay-mens-risk-of-acquiring-HIV-is-similar-to-the-pre-HAART-era-despite-widespread-use-of-HAART/page/1437709/?, published a few months ago. Estimate of the per-act transmission risk Four studies provided estimates of the transmission risk for a single act of unprotected receptive anal intercourse. Pooling their data, the summary estimate is 1.4% (95% CI, 0.3 to 3.2). Two of these studies were conducted with gay men and two with heterosexuals, and the results did not vary by sexuality. The estimate for receptive anal intercourse is almost identical to that in the recently published Australian study (1.43%, 95% CI, 0.48 to 2.85). This is despite the fact that the Australian data were collected after the widespread introduction of combination therapy. The review did not identify any per-act estimates of the risk for the insertive partner. However, the recent Australian study did produce estimates of this: 0.62% for men who are not circumcised, and 0.11% for men who are circumcised. Baggaley and colleagues note that their estimate for receptive intercourse is considerably higher than the estimates they produced in their previous reviews. In developed country studies, the risk of transmission during vaginal intercourse was estimated to be 0.08%, whereas the receptive anal intercourse estimate is 18 times greater. For oral sex a range of estimates exist, but none are higher than 0.04%. Estimate of the per-partner transmission risk Twelve studies provided estimates of the transmission risk during the whole time in which a person with HIV is in a relationship with an HIV-negative person. The authors note that most of these studies did not collect enough information on factors such as length of the relationship, frequency of unprotected sex and condom use to fully make sense of the data. Ten of these studies were conducted with gay men only. For partners having both unprotected receptive and insertive intercourse, the summary estimate of transmission risk is 39.9% (95% CI, 22.5 to 57.4). For partners having only unprotected receptive intercourse, the summary estimate was almost the same, at 40.4% (95% CI, 6.0 to 74.9). However, it was lower for people only having unprotected insertive intercourse: 21.7% (95% CI, 0.2 to 43.3). The authors comment that the data support the hypothesis that insertive intercourse is substantially less risky than receptive intercourse. The individual studies that these estimates are based on often had very different results, in part due to different study designs and analytical methods. As a result, the confidence intervals for these
