What is TRUVADA for PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis)? TRUVADA is a prescription medicine that can be used for PrEP to help reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 infection when used together with safer sex practices. This use is only for adults who are at high risk of getting HIV-1 through sex. This includes HIV-negative men who have sex with men and who are at high risk of getting infected with HIV-1 through sex, and male-female sex partners when one partner has HIV-1 infection and the other does not. Ask your healthcare provider if you have questions about how to prevent getting HIV-1. Always practice safer sex and use condoms to lower the chance of sexual contact with body fluids. Never reuse or share needles or other items that have body fluids on them.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION What is the most important information I should know about TRUVADA for PrEP?

Before taking TRUVADA for PrEP to reduce your risk of getting HIV-1 infection: u You must be HIV-negative. You must get tested to make sure that you do not already have HIV-1 infection. Do not take TRUVADA for PrEP to reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 unless you are confirmed to be HIV-negative. u Many HIV-1 tests can miss HIV-1 infection in a person who has recently become infected. If you have flu-like symptoms, you could have recently become infected with HIV-1. Tell your healthcare provider if you had a flu-like illness within the last month before starting TRUVADA for PrEP or at any time while taking TRUVADA for PrEP. Symptoms of new HIV-1 infection include tiredness, fever, joint or muscle aches, headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, night sweats, and/or enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or groin. While taking TRUVADA for PrEP to reduce your risk of getting HIV-1 infection: u You must continue using safer sex practices. Just taking TRUVADA for PrEP may not keep you from getting HIV-1. u You must stay HIV-negative to keep taking TRUVADA for PrEP. u To further help reduce your risk of getting HIV-1: • Know your HIV-1 status and the HIV-1 status of your partners. • Get tested for HIV-1 at least every 3 months or when your healthcare provider tells you. • Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections. Other infections make it easier for HIV-1 to infect you. • Get information and support to help reduce risky sexual behavior. • Have fewer sex partners. • Do not miss any doses of TRUVADA. Missing doses may increase your risk of getting HIV-1 infection. • If you think you were exposed to HIV-1, tell your healthcare provider right away. u If you do become HIV-1 positive, you need more medicine than TRUVADA alone to treat HIV-1. TRUVADA by itself is not a complete treatment for HIV-1. If you have HIV-1 and take only TRUVADA, your HIV-1 may become harder to treat over time.

TRUVADA can cause serious side effects:

u Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis),

which is a serious medical emergency. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include weakness or being more tired than usual, unusual muscle pain, being short of breath or fast breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach-area pain, cold or blue hands and feet, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, and/or fast or abnormal heartbeats. u Serious liver problems. Your liver may become large and tender, and you may develop fat in your liver. Symptoms of liver problems include your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow, dark “tea-colored” urine, light-colored stools, loss of appetite for several days or longer, nausea, and/or stomach-area pain. u You may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or serious liver problems if you are female, very overweight (obese), or have been taking TRUVADA for a long time. In some cases, these serious conditions have led to death. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of these conditions. u Worsening of hepatitis B (HBV) infection. If you also have HBV and take TRUVADA, your hepatitis may become worse if you stop taking TRUVADA. Do not stop taking TRUVADA without first talking to your healthcare provider. If your healthcare provider tells you to stop taking TRUVADA, they will need to watch you closely for several months to monitor your health. TRUVADA is not approved for the treatment of HBV.

Who should not take TRUVADA for PrEP?

Do not take TRUVADA for PrEP if you already have HIV-1 infection or if you do not know your HIV-1 status. If you are HIV-1 positive, you need to take other medicines with TRUVADA to treat HIV-1. TRUVADA by itself is not a complete treatment for HIV-1. If you have HIV-1 and take only TRUVADA, your HIV-1 may become harder to treat over time. Do not take TRUVADA for PrEP if you also take lamivudine (Epivir-HBV) or adefovir (HEPSERA).

What are the other possible side effects of TRUVADA for PrEP? Serious side effects of TRUVADA may also include:

u Kidney problems, including kidney failure. Your healthcare

provider may do blood tests to check your kidneys before and during treatment with TRUVADA for PrEP. If you develop kidney problems, your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking TRUVADA for PrEP. u Bone problems, including bone pain or bones getting soft or thin, may lead to fractures. Your healthcare provider may do tests to check your bones. u Changes in body fat, which can happen in people taking TRUVADA or medicines like TRUVADA. Common side effects in people taking TRUVADA for PrEP are stomach-area (abdomen) pain, headache, and decreased weight. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effects that bother you or do not go away.

What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking TRUVADA for PrEP? u All your health problems. Be sure to tell your healthcare

provider if you have or have had any kidney, bone, or liver problems, including hepatitis virus infection.

Please see Important Facts about TRUVADA for PrEP including important warnings on the following pages.

Inside & Out

Hollywood

By Billy Masters

//Anderson Cooper//

“A

ndy and I were first set up on a blind date, which never happened 'cause we had a phone call and after two minutes I said, 'I'm not dating this guy.' He broke my cardinal rule, which is he mentioned my mom within the first four sentences of meeting me. If somebody does that, it's a deal-breaker. And we're never going on a date." – Anderson Cooper talks about his aborted romantic relationship with Andy Cohen. Imagine how shocked Coop would have been if Cohen showed up for their date in a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans...or with a pet swan! I spent most of last week in New York City. Because I know many of you travel during the holidays, I'll tell you which shows to see, and which ones to skip. At the top of the list of anyone reading this column is the revival of "Falsettos". It is the best production and cast of this show you'll ever see, although what was once edgy and groundbreaking is somewhat dated today. Rather than play it as a period piece, the show is time-ambiguous, which works if you don't think about it too much. Along with the illness which is never named, the pitfalls of coming out, relationships and parenting are still salient. Holding it all together is a masterful performance by Christian Borle whose deflated arms prove that nothing lasts forever. As Marvin, he is never less than captivating vocally and dramatically. Stephanie

//Ben Platt / J. Block plays the role of his ex-wife with enormous color and nuances. This made her "I'm Breaking Down" less schticky and more devastating. I was less enthralled by Andrew Rannells, who plays Borle's lover. I'm surely in the minority of people who felt that his very specific talents were not a natural fit here. Throughout the show, I kept thinking how wonderful he must have been in "Hedwig"! There's no doubt that the hit of this Broadway season will be "Dear Evan Hansen", a new musical about teen angst, suicide, social media, and coming of age. The show created quite a buzz last season off-Broadway, and that built-in audience has led to a frenzy reminiscent of the lead-up to "Hamilton". The preview performance I attended was like a rock show, with palpable electricity in the audience from the moment the curtain rose. The show speaks to anyone who has felt like an outsider. Major kudos to Ben Platt (from "Pitch Perfect"), who is a shoo-in Tony winner. Truth be told, there's nary a misstep in the entire production. The 39-year-old heir to the Fiat empire, Lapo Elkann, was just arrested for faking his own kidnapping. And he was arrested along with a transgender hooker...eh, escort! Lapo flew into NYC on Thanksgiving and called several female escorts. One of them directed Lapo to a person who has been identified as a 29-year-old transgender hooker named Curtis McKinstry. The


two were holed up in what has been referred to as a housing project and embarked on what The Daily Beast called a "two-day booze and blow bender". When his cash ran out, he told relatives that a woman had kidnapped him and demanded a $10,000 ransom or he would be "hurt". 10K? For the Fiat heir? With apologies to Bette Midler, was he kidnapped by Kmart? Elkann didn't count on a couple of things: 1) his family would report the kidnapping to the NYPD and b) they knew he called from his own cell phone! How do you say schmuck in Italian? The cops set up a plan to pay the ransom, and then arrested Lapo and his lap dog when they showed up to collect the dough. At first, Elkann tried to pin the blame on the hooker, who until that point had stayed quiet. Well, don't diss a transgender hooker - she'll cut a b!tch! The escort turned the tables, the cops let him go. Elkann was charged with making a false police report, but apparently that doesn't warrant bail. He was released and is due in court in January. For the first of this week's Billy's Holiday Gift Giving Suggestions, let me urge you all to do your shopping at Target. The retailer is facing a massive boycott from the American Family Association and couldn't care less. The group has collected 1.2 million signatures on their petition promising to boycott Target because of the company's support of LGBT rights. They are upset that Target has gone against North Carolina's HB2 law and allowed people to use whatever bathroom they want to. CEO Brian Cornell said, "We've had a long history of embracing diversity

//Shawn Mendes//

and inclusion...What's been lost in this story is the fact that the vast majority of our stores actually over 1,400 of our stores - already have a family restroom. And we're committed over the next few months to make sure every one of our stores has that option, because we want our guests to be welcomed in our stores." Bravo, Brian. And now, let's meld shopping, holidays, theatre and activism together. Every year, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS releases a Broadway Legends ornament. This year, it is Patti LuPone. La LuPone is featured in her Evita regalia with her arms borne aloft. How could you not want to see Patti hanging from a tree? I mean that in the figurative, non-hooded way! It costs $70 - and it's tax-deductible. Order one now at BroadwayCares.org. In a final gift, I'm sure you saw the mega-hot "Flaunt" photo session of singer Shawn Mendes and wondered if the rumored nude pics exist. Both Shawn and I are "excited" to show them to you on BillyMasters.com. When we're flaunting photos of fluffed fellas, it's time to end yet another column. Yes, this was a theatre-heavy column. You can get more variety at www.BillyMasters.com, the site that c e l e b r a t e s diversity...one d!ck at a time (OK , sometimes two at a time). If you have a question for me, send it along to Billy@BillyMasters. com and I promise to get back to you before the heir to the Fiat fortune brings a date to a Target restroom! Until next time, r e m e m b e r, o n e m a n's f i l t h i s a n o t h e r m a n's bible. //Patti LuPone//

La segunda, es Chile Insular, que se conforma de un gran grupo de islas de origen volcánico en el océano Pacífico Sur: el archipiélago de Juan Fernández y las islas Desventuradas, pertenecientes a Sudamérica, la isla Salas y Gómez y la isla de Pascua, ubicadas en Oceanía. La tercera, es el Territorio Chileno Antártico, el cual es una zona de la Antártica sobre la cual Chile reclama soberanía, prolongando su límite meridional hasta el Polo Sur. Debido a lo anterior, Chile se define como un país tricontinental.

La Republica de Chile cuenta con una población de alrededor de 18 millones de habitantes, la calidad de vida en la tierra Chilena es muy cómoda debido a su crecimiento económico, y desarrollo humano. El periodo de globalización en chile le permite a su población contar con una sociedad con valores y apreciación a la libre expresión el cual es un ejemplo a seguir por el resto de los países latino americanos. La comunidad LGBT en La Republica de Chile se ha abierto paso por sí misma. La aceptación de la comunidad LGBT en Chile ha avanzado al pasar de tiempo, las uniones civiles son completamente permitidas el cual realza la libre expresión en este país suramericano. La vida nocturna en cuanto a clubs gay en chile es completamente extensa por eso Chile se encuentra entre los primeros países a visitar de América Latina cuando a destinos turísticos se refiere. Hablando de destinos turísticos en Chile, no podemos dejar de mencionar algunos de los más hermosos lugares del país sudamericano. La Playa Cavancha es una vibrante ciudad balneario, una localidad del norte de Chile, que cautiva con sus playas de arenas blancas y



Archipielago Juan Fernández

Marcha del Orgullo

oleaje suave, hermosas arquitecturas en madera, levantadas durante la época de esplendor de las salitreras y valiosos museos arqueológicos que dan muestra de la Cultura Chinchorro que habitó la zona miles de años atrás. Entre las cosas que no puedes pasar por alto es el magistral atardecer en Ahu Tongariki Isla de Pascua. Localizada en medio del Océano Pacífico más de 2000 miles de Chile continental. Es considerada uno de los lugares turísticos de Chile que genera mayor curiosidad, tanto por sus enigmáticas esculturas en piedra conocidas como Moáis como por las misteriosas leyendas y tradiciones de la cultura ancestral Rapa Nui. En 1995 la isla fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco. Y por último pero no menos importante es Laguna San Rafael. Entre los Campos de Hielo Norte en un área reconocida como Reserva Mundial de la Biosfera por la Unesco, se sitúa este idílico paisaje, hogar del majestuoso Glaciar San Rafael, que naciendo en el nevado de San Valentín recorre quince

Laguna San Rafael

kilómetros de distancia, para finalmente desembocar en la laguna del mismo nombre. Solo accesible por medio de embarcaciones especiales, hechiza por sus torres de hielo que alcanzan setenta metros de altura, enormes témpanos que flotan sobre las aguas y un silencio sobrecogedor que permite escuchar los constantes desprendimientos de hielo. Y recuerda que no se te puede olvidar en tu visita a chile degustar de un rico arrollado huaso, un embutido tradicional, entre muchas más delicias chilenas. ¡Hasta la próxima amigos!

The Republic of Chile is located in the extreme southwest of South America. Chile has an extensive territory in which it is divided into 15 provinces with Antofagasta, Atacama, Valparaiso, Libertador, among the most wellknown. Its capital is the city of Santiago which is located in the center of this long and narrow country. Chile is made up of three geographical zones: Continental Chile, which comprises a

Isla de Pascua


strip on the western coast of the Southern Cone, including the southeastern shore of the Pacific Ocean to the highest peaks of the Andes. The second is Insular Chile, which is made up of a large group of islands of volcanic origin in the South Pacific Ocean: the archipelago of Juan Fernández and the Desventuradas islands, belonging to South America, the island of Salas and Gómez and Easter Island, located in Oceania. The third is the Chilean Antarctic Territory, which is an Antarctic zone on which Chile claims sovereignty, extending its southern boundary to the South Pole. Because of these three distinct zones, Chile is defined as a tri-continental country. Chile has a population of about 18 million inhabitants who, for the most part, enjoy a high quality of life due to the country´s economic growth, and human development. The recent period of globalization in Chile allows its population to count on a society with values and an appreciation for free expression which is an example to be followed by the rest of the countries in LatinAmerica. The LGBT community in the Republic of Chile has made its way all by itself. The acceptance of the LGBT community in Chile has advanced as time has gone on; civil unions are fully permitted which enhances free expression in this South American country. The nightlife in gay clubs in Chile is completely extensive so Chile should be among the first countries to visit in Latin America when considering tourist destinations. Speaking of tourist destinations in Chile, we can´t fail to mention some of the most

beautiful places in the South American country. La Playa Cavancha is a vibrant beach town in northern Chilean that captivates with its white sand beaches and soft waves, beautiful wooden architecture, built during the time of splendor of the saltpeter and valuable archaeological museums that show The Chinchorro Culture that inhabited the area thousands of years ago. Among the things you cannot miss is the masterful sunset at Ahu Tongariki on Easter Island, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, more than 2000 miles of mainland Chile. It is considered one of the most curious tourist spots in Chile because of its enigmatic stone sculptures known as Moáis and for the mysterious legends and traditions of the Rapa Nui ancestral culture. In 1995 the island was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. And last but not least is Laguna San Rafael. This idyllic landscape is located in the Northern Ice Fields in an area recognized as a World Biosphere Reserve by Unesco and is home to the majestic San Rafael Glacier which was born in the snowy San Valentín, and stretches for fifteen kilometers away before finally end in a lagoon of the same name. It is only accessible by special boats and captivates visitors with its ice towers that reach heights of more than 200 feet. The enormous icebergs float on the water and an overwhelming silence allows visitors to hear the constant melting of ice as giant slabs fall off into the water. And remember that no visit to Chile would be complete without tasting of a rich Arrollado de huaso, a traditional rolled stuffed meat dish, along with many other popular Chilean delicacies. See you all soon, my friends!

WOODY KILL SWAMP BREATH

H

ey Woody, I've got a really embarrassing problem: Bad Breath. I'm talking paint-peeling breath. Nothing works. I brush my teeth, floss, use mouthwashes, and pop Altoids constantly and people still put clothespins on their noses when I talk. You can imagine what it's doing to my sex life. Help! – Wilter Dear Wilter: The worst part of having bad breath is that most people don't know they have it. You can't tell by breathing into your cupped hands because the body gets used to its own odors. The only way you can tell is if your partner ducks every time you lean in for a kiss. Fortunately, there are things you can do to improve your breath, but first some background. Your breath smells like the business end of a donkey because you're not getting rid of the food particles stuck in your teeth and gums. Those particles produce odor-causing Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC). Assuming your brushing and flossing regularly, here's what you need to do: * F o rg e t T h e O l d M o u t h w a s h e s . Mouthwashes simply mask the odor. Most older mouthwashes contain alcohol, which dries your mouth and makes your breath even worse than it started out. * Try The New Mouthwashes. There are special mouthwashes specifically developed to neutralize VCS. Though you can buy some at drug stores (my favorite:

Smart Mouth), most are sold only through dentists or at sites like www.dentist.net. Make sure they contain chlorine dioxide, zinc ion or sodium chlorite. Mouthwashes can't penetrate through the plaque on your gums, teeth and tongue so you gotta brush, scrape and floss to break up the plaque and give the rinse a fighting chance. Also, do what those nasty boys adult videos do when they squirt man-rinse in their mouths--gargle. As you gargle, make an "aaaaahh" sound. This will extend your tongue outward, letting the mouthwash cover the back of the tongue where most of the bad breath producing VSCs like to squat. * Scrape Your Tongue. Your tongue is like a shag carpet—it traps millions of microscopic food particles and bacteria. So brush and follow it up with a tongue scraper. * Suck On Something Hard. Sorry, d!cks don't count. Saliva contains antiseptics and enzymes that kill bacteria. The equation's pretty simple: More saliva=fewer bacteria=better breath. Try hard candy. Altoids won't work because they don't produce more saliva. BTW, Morning Breath is because your sleep dramatically slows down saliva production. *Chew Gum. It's the best way to produce saliva. Epic gum has the heaviest concentration of xylitol, a sugar substitute known for saliva production. Try Big Red, too. Recent studies show cinnamon has an ingredient that decreases bacteria in your mouth. *Drink More Water. Follow my instructions and you won't have men seeing the words come out of you. I recommend doing these things daily or you'll be right back knocking bowling pins into the gutter with a simple exhalation.
