   Hi! I’m a Hotline volunteer with AIDS Project LA… last month, I attended
   a safer sex seminar sponsored by LA Shanti (a local ASO that does great
   work)… they presented preliminary data on oral sex transmission, as
   gathered in LA by physicians. The numbers were very small and — what else
   — a bit contradictory, but it’s the first real survey that’s been done on
   the subject in the la area. I don’t have the authors’ names any more, but
   you may want to call LA Shanti for more info… you’ll need the department
   that coordinates the monthly seminars held at the west hollywood
   elementary school (this was the latest seminar, held a few weeks ago…
   the one where the school was locked so they had to hold it on the
   doorsteps!). Shanti’s number is 213 962-8197. Hope this helps… keep up
   the good work. Yours, John Buchin (jdbuc…@earthlink.net) los angeles.
