Vi*****rs, strap-ons, c**k rings, and more, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to q***r pleasure. Explore what works for you, communicate your boundaries, and remember: you have a right to explore ways to give yourself pleasure.

This history of HIV has yet to be fully written and the new film Elsinore is a reminder of the value and importance of authentic q***r stories about our lived experiences with HIV. Our story is not one of tragedy but of resistance & triumph.
