There is for online abuse, and yet it is exploding 💥

During the of Activism, we’re calling it what it is: violence against women and girls.

From unwanted DMs and password pressure to trolling and deepfakes that s*xualize women, online abuse starts small and escalates fast.

The impact is real: fear, emotional harm, lost opportunities, and shattered safety — online and offline.

The Cold Moon rises as the final and brightest supermoon of 2025! 🌙

A once-a-year moment when winter’s coldest night meets the sky’s warmest light.

As it climbs above the horizon, it will look bigger, bolder, and more golden than usual — bright enough to cast shadows on fresh snow, light up empty roads, and turn the whole night into a soft silver glow.

This is the moon 2025 has been saving for last.

"How can you help advocate for Women Partners? If you are a Woman Partner and are presenting for comprehensive S*xual Health testing and support, let your practitioner know you are a Woman Partner of Men who have S*x with Men, so that your health needs are met, but also so data is captured on the representation of this cohort. The more data is held, the more visible this population is!"

For 38 years, Dec 1st has been an international day acknowledging those living with HIV/AIDS, those who have died from the HIV/AIDS virus, and the tireless work that many are putting into the reduction of HIV transmission, vaccinations and ultimately a cure.

The theme for 2025’s International HIV/AIDS Day is “Nobody Left Behind”. This speaks significantly to the Women Partners of Men who have S*x with Men team, who support Women Partners clients to understand their risks of HIV transmission, how and where to locate comprehensive s*xual health testing, including HIV, and how to negotiate ongoing safer s*xual relationships with their male partners. Not only that, but the team also advocate tirelessly with health, government and state bodies to recognise and prioritise this population, as without this recognition, heteros*xual women in NSW are being left behind.

The Dominican Republic’s Constitutional Court has overturned long-standing military and police rules that criminalised consensual same-s*x relationships between officers. The decision, released on 18 November 2025, marks a major breakthrough for equality, dismantling a system that had explicitly targeted Le***an, Gay, Bis*xual and Transgender personnel for decades.

In its ruling (Judgment TC/1225/25), the court found that article 210 of the National Police Justice Code and article 260 of the Armed Forces Justice Code breached constitutional protections including nondiscrimination, privacy, personal autonomy and the right to work. Both provisions punished same-s*x intimacy — labelled “sodomy” — with prison terms of up to two years for police and one year for members of the armed forces. No such penalties ever applied to heteros*xual conduct.

🧠 Plasma Biomarkers and Cognitive Decline in HIV: What Recent Evidence Shows

As the population of older people living with HIV continues to rise, understanding cognitive decline has become increasingly important.

Our latest article reviews findings from two major US cohorts, exploring how plasma biomarkers may help detect early neurodegeneration.

Across both studies, elevated neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels were consistently linked with poorer cognitive performance over time, especially in processing speed. Associations with GFAP were less consistent, highlighting the need for further research before these markers can be used routinely in clinical care.

The EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-s*x marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Cannabis use is linked to a significant reduction in alcohol cravings and use, results of a randomized controlled trial showed.

The findings lend support to the trend known as “California sober,” in which individuals use cannabis in place of alcohol to curb drinking. The concept has gained traction in recent years, but evidence to back the approach has been limited. http://ms.spr.ly/6189tn2r3
