    • FAQ’s
      • I don’t know how to get started or what to say.
      • We don’t have anything in common. What do I do?
      • We’ve been corresponding for a while now, and I just don’t think we’re a good match.
      • Is it appropriate to ask why they’re in prison?
      • Do you do background checks on your inside penpals?
      • I don’t identify as LGBTTQ. Can I still participate?
      • I identify differently than my penpal. Is this an issue?
      • Are there things I shouldn’t talk about when corresponding with my penpal?
      • A lot of the materials prepared by the Prisoner Correspondence Project seem to communicate a more political or more radical perspective than I feel comfortable with; do I need to agree with the outlook of your organization to become a penpal?

WRITING AND LITERATURE ABOUT HIV/AIDS

“If We Have To Take Tomorrow” – A collection of writing about same-sex and same-gender desire, and HIV/AIDS by and for gay black men.

“To be left with the body“ – This collection, put out by AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) is dedicated to poetry, prose, and photography written by and for HIV positive folks about the marginalization and criminalization of queer and HIV positive communities.

“Corpus: volumes 4, 5, 6“ – Corpus, put out by AIDS Project Los Angeles, and Gay Men’s Health Crisis, is an HIV prevention publication that brings together health information, politics, creative work, and essays all on issues related to HIV/AIDS, and where health and AIDS intersects with other other issues faced by gay and queer communities: incarceration, racism, policing. Issue 4 is about women’s relationships to gay men and AIDS; Issue 5 is about rural gay identity and AIDS; Issue 6 is the “International” issue, and explores shifting global responses among gay and queer men to AIDS.

“The De-gaying of AIDS and Reclaiming Culture / La deshomosexualizacion del SIDA”- Available in both Spanish and Engish, these short essays speak to how AIDS has been de-gayed, and the effects of this on, among others, prisoners and communities of colour.

“Gay boy talk: stopping HIV infections among young gay men” – Also available in Spanish and English.
