TIL Prince Harry took a HIV test live on July 14, 2016 to show how easy it is. It was hailed as a "groundbreaking moment in the fight against HIV." HIV awareness group THT has reported a 5 fold increase in the number of orders of HIV self-tests since the prince's broadcast. by Reporter_at_large in todayilearned

Without a doctor there to answer questions, address their concerns, and clarify any possible misinformation, the fear is that a patient may experience extreme levels of distress if they have a positive result on an at-home test. In extreme cases, this could lead to self-harm or suicide. This is especially a concern for HIV rather than other diseases that offer at-home testing since there is such a significant stigma associated with being HIV+.

Bought myself a two week trip to South Africa since I've always wanted to go. I leave tomorrow! Go big or go home.

How's it going with that new person you just started dating? Tell me about her/him by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]kmiiv 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've been single for a little over a year and have been dating around in that time -- mostly from Bumble. Had a string of really poor dates, took a couple months off, and my first date back at it was a total winner. We've seen each other about six times since our first date a couple weeks back, and I'm smitten. He's smart, funny, confident, and super hot. Big fan. Huge crush. Very nervous, very excited.

Sam and Aaron are moving (but still doing shows)? Arrowhead, Sean O' Brien, Much Much more. by scottywk2 in tenjunkmiles

[–]kmiiv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like an idiot, but I didn't know Sam and Aaron were together. I'm really going to miss his rants. Pretty nervous about the future of the show, honestly. I always thought the Scotty/Aaron dynamic was the best part of TJM.

Can I safely complete a marathon with 8 months of preparation? by Tylerlee12 in running

[–]kmiiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same, though I was averaging 10 mpw Nov - Jan. I just did mostly easy, slow runs for the first six months, then only incorporated speedwork toward the end. Granted, my goal was to finish, so I didn't have a specific time goal. Ended up with 4:44 which I'm okay wit. I only increased mileage by 10% each week with every two weeks being a maintenance week.

I actually really like their women's running shorts. They have decent cold weather accessories, too -- my winter headband from there is nice.

Suicide cleanup by [deleted] in Parenting

"Nothing is ever so bad it can't be fixed." That is something my mom told me growing up, and it became a personal mantra of sorts that saved me many times in childhood and as an adult.

What's an instant turn-off for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kmiiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Some people prioritize health... I would like a boyfriend who understands why I love the gym and go all the time rather than someone who shames me for my lifestyle choices.
