It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Thats great to hear!!

Im actually getting it at the moment. I am based in North West London in the hospital clinic that actually trialled this vaccine for MSM, before rolling it out across the NHS in the UK. So im glad to hear its coming here so soon afterwards too. Its only being rolled out in the UK since summer this year.

It involves 3 vaccines within a 6 month period and i have had my first 2 with no side effects and will get my final dose next month. There is always scaremogering with vaccines but i think its safe enough. Its all shïts and giggles until somebody gets genital warts
