AACAU needs a venue for the International Asexuality Conference. The conference is mostly online, but they need a space for the in-person part on the Saturday afternoon in Sydney. (And it must be wheelchair accessible, they tell us) Please retweet, especially in Sydney.

The International Asexuality Conference in Sydney is on March 4th + our venue has cancelled. We need a space for panel discussions in the afternoon + an alcohol free social in the evening. We're a new organisation with a few $. (Yes, even our logo a WIP!) Can anyone help us out?

Today is #WorldAIDSDay. @MeridianACT hosted an event at the AIDS Garden of Reflection at the National Arboretum. This was an opportunity to gather as a community, show solidarity with people living with HIV, and remember those we have lost. worldaidsday.org.au/internet…

If you forget to use a condom or it breaks, or if you share injecting equipment, have no shame, and get PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) to prevent HIV. PEP is a month of medications that needs to be started within 72 hours after a risk for HIV. usmobandhiv.org.au
