As we look back on 2016, I want to start – selfishly perhaps – with a story about me.  Many people were taken aback when I discussed my decision to go on PrEP as a form of HIV prevention.  For me, it was a no-brainer – I tell you everything (well, almost everything).  I don’t understand all this PrEP-shaming.  Here’s how I look at it: maybe someone who wouldn’t typically read a medical article got some information from my weekly scribblings.  I am heartened by everyone who wrote in – even those of you who felt it was mistake.  At least you’re paying attention.
