The Reading List: March 20, 2013

By Simon Thibault • March 20, 2013 3:37 pm EDT

After yesterday’s blog post and op-ed on sexual health, I thought it might be a good time to include a few stories about sexual health.

– The Chronicle Herald talks about oral sex.

– Capital Health, HRM’s health provider, also posted an interesting piece, titled “Helluva Lot of Unsafe Sex in Halifax,” discussing how public health is looking at the situation.

– And The Atlantic looks at the recent talk around HIV “cures” and what “functionally cured” means in today’s medical world.
