LONDON -- Britain’s pin-up Princes, William and Harry, have been asked to be ambassadors for the country’s leading HIV charity, Terrence Higgins Trust (THT).

The organization was started when Terry Higgins became one of the first to die of AIDS in the UK three decades ago. It was founded by his partner Rupert Whitaker and their friends.

Now the gay-run charity is celebrating its 30th anniversary. And William, Duke of Cambridge and his playboy brother Prince Harry have sent a message of support.

In response, the charity has said it would love them to become "ambassadors" for THT.

(Editor's note: SDGLN is protecting the identity of Peter, which is not his real name. He says he is concerned about his family and colleagues in Ethiopia, and his future fighting for LGBT human rights in his native land.)

Peter speaks very quietly and it is sometimes difficult to understand his English. It is hard to believe that Ethiopian authorities see this 27-year-old man as a threat to their national security, but he is the leading gay activist in this largely Christian society.

SAN DIEGO – A significant majority of the readers of San Diego Gay & Lesbian News who took our poll say they believe that it should be a crime to hide one’s HIV status from a sex partner.

Our poll question was: Should it be a crime to not tell a sex partner that you are HIV-positive?

The results, which are not scientific, reveal that 68% of readers believe that it should be a crime to not tell a sex partner that you are HIV-positive, while 32% disagree with that position.

OTTAWA, Canada -- If you wear a condom and have a "low load" of the HIV virus, it is not a crime if you do not tell your sex partner about your status, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled today.

However, the court seemed to imply by its ruling that if you are HIV-positive and engage in dangerous behavior with your sex partner, such as not wearing a condom and not disclosing your status and not taking reasonable steps to avoid transmitting the virus, that you could be sued.
