Non-profit organization Impulse Group[1] has released a new PSA that encourages gay men everywhere to know their statuses and exercise the proper precautions when engaging in sexual activity.


"This short highlights the journey from a break-up to knowing one's HIV status to communicating that status. And of course, love and compassion prevail," the video's description notes. The PSA also shows that two men with different HIV statuses can be together, as long as the proper protection and precautions are taken.


There are a huge number of resources[2] available regarding living with HIV, check them out to educate yourself[3] about the disease. To learn more about Impulse Group, visit the organization's website[4] .
