"Behavioral interventions" is a decades-old term used in public health, I utilized several during the Obama administration when HIV funding was greenlit widely.

You do behavioral interventions to increase the number of MSM (men who have sex with men) who ask about serostatus, or percentage of latino families where the mother is aware of local testing resources. Fairly specific things for specific areas with specific problems.

But this is all done without politics or judgment. Until now.

I have no faith in what's to come, their version of "behavioral interventions" is likely to be heavily politicized and influenced by outside sources. And they'll drop all of the useful, evidence-based ones that have been keeping the epidemic at bay.

Seriously, let's keep giving the benefit of the doubt to the worst fucking people we know. Surely if we just relax until it's too late once again everything will be ok.

Where did I say that? Since they're all Christian, the only "safe sex" they believe in is abstinence, which is the opposite of sex-positive. Just pointing out that the phrase "behavioral intervention" isn't necessarily as inflammatory of a phrase in this context as op made it seem.

Doesn't need to be a meme? Wild but ok
