Unstoppable Playlist - YouTube Songs that reflect the moods of the women in my book Unstoppable: Straight Women on the AIDS Frontlines. Some were chosen by me, some by the women in the book.

I made YouTube playlist for my last two books, so I had to make one for UNSTOPPABLE, which comes out on Tuesday.

Some of the songs were suggested by women in the book, some have been in my head the past year or so.

A twice-yearly shot could help end AIDS. But will it get to everyone who needs it? Drugmaker Gilead said it will allow cheap, generic versions to be sold in 120 poor countries with high HIV rates, mostly in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.

The twice-yearly shot was 100% effective in preventing HIV infections in a study of women, and results published Wednesday show it worked nearly as well in men.
