What is TRUVADA for PrEP?
TRUVADA for PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis)
is a prescription medicine that is used together
with safer sex practices to help reduce the risk
of getting HIV-1 through sex. This use is only for
HIV-negative adults who are at high risk of getting
HIV-1. To help determine your risk of getting HIV-1,
talk openly with your healthcare provider about
your sexual health.
Ask your healthcare provider if you have questions
about how to prevent getting HIV. Always practice
safer sex and use condoms to lower the chance
of sexual contact with body fl uids. Never reuse or
share needles or other items that have body fl uids
on them.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is the most important information I
should know about TRUVADA for PrEP?
Before taking TRUVADA for PrEP:
® You must be HIV-negative before you start
taking TRUVADA for PrEP. You must get
tested to make sure that you do not already
have HIV-1. Do not take TRUVADA to reduce the
risk of getting HIV-1 unless you are confi rmed
to be HIV-negative.
® Many HIV-1 tests can miss HIV-1 infection
in a person who has recently become
infected. If you have fl u-like symptoms, you
could have recently become infected with
HIV-1. Tell your healthcare provider if you had
a fl u-like illness within the last month before
starting or at any time while taking TRUVADA
for PrEP. Symptoms of new HIV-1 infection
include tiredness, fever, joint or muscle aches,
headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, rash,
night sweats, and/or enlarged lymph nodes in
the neck or groin.
While taking TRUVADA for PrEP:
® You must continue to use safer sex
practices. Just taking TRUVADA for PrEP
may not keep you from getting HIV-1.
® You must stay HIV-negative to keep taking
TRUVADA for PrEP:
® Get tested for HIV-1 at least every 3 months.
® If you think you were exposed to HIV-1, tell
your healthcare provider right away.
® To further help reduce your risk of getting
HIV-1:
® Know your HIV status and the HIV status of
your partners.
® Get tested for other sexually transmitted
infections. Other infections make it easier
for HIV to infect you.
® Get information and support to help reduce
risky sexual behavior, such as having fewer
sex partners.
® Do not miss any doses of TRUVADA. Missing
doses may increase your risk of getting HIV-1
infection.
® If you do become HIV-1 positive, you need
more medicine than TRUVADA alone to treat
HIV-1. TRUVADA by itself is not a complete
treatment for HIV-1. If you have HIV-1 and take
only TRUVADA, your HIV-1 may become harder to
treat over time.
TRUVADA can cause serious side effects:
® Worsening of hepatitis B (HBV) infection.
TRUVADA is not approved to treat HBV. If you have
HBV and stop taking TRUVADA, your HBV may
suddenly get worse. Do not stop taking TRUVADA
without fi rst talking to your healthcare provider,
as they will need to monitor your health.
Who should not take TRUVADA for PrEP?
Do not take TRUVADA for PrEP if you:
® Already have HIV-1 infection or if you do
not know your HIV-1 status. If you are HIV-1
positive, you need to take other medicines with
TRUVADA to treat HIV-1. TRUVADA by itself is not
a complete treatment for HIV-1. If you have HIV-1
and take only TRUVADA, your HIV-1 may become
harder to treat over time.
® Also take certain medicines to treat hepatitis B
infection.
What are the other possible side effects of
TRUVADA for PrEP?
Serious side effects of TRUVADA may also include:
® Kidney problems, including kidney failure.
Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to
check your kidneys before and during treatment
with TRUVADA. If you develop kidney problems,
your healthcare provider may tell you to stop
taking TRUVADA.
® Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic
acidosis), which is a serious but rare medical
emergency that can lead to death. Tell your
healthcare provider right away if you get these
symptoms: weakness or being more tired than
usual, unusual muscle pain, being short of breath
or fast breathing, stomach pain with nausea and
vomiting, cold or blue hands and feet, feel dizzy or
lightheaded, or a fast or abnormal heartbeat.
® Severe liver problems, which in rare cases can
lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right
away if you get these symptoms: skin or the white
part of your eyes turns yellow, dark “tea-colored”
urine, light-colored stools, loss of appetite for
several days or longer, nausea, or stomach-area
pain.
Please see Important Facts about TRUVADA for PrEP including important warnings on the following pages.

We’re adventurous,
not reckless.
We know who we are. And we make choices that fit our lives.
TRUVADA for PrEP is a once-daily prescription medicine that can
help reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 when taken every day and used
together with safer sex practices.
® TRUVADA for PrEP is only for adults who are at high risk of getting HIV
through sex.
® You must be HIV-negative before you start taking TRUVADA for PrEP.
Ask your doctor about your risk of getting HIV-1 infection and if
TRUVADA for PrEP may be right for you.
® Bone problems, including bone pain,
softening, or thinning, which may lead to
fractures. Your healthcare provider may do
tests to check your bones.
Common side effects in people taking TRUVADA
for PrEP are stomach-area (abdomen) pain,
headache, and decreased weight. Tell your
healthcare provider if you have any side effects
that bother you or do not go away.
What should I tell my healthcare provider
before taking TRUVADA for PrEP?
® All your health problems. Be sure to tell your
healthcare provider if you have or have had
any kidney, bone, or liver problems, including
hepatitis.
® If you are pregnant or plan to become
pregnant. It is not known if TRUVADA can
harm your unborn baby. If you become
pregnant while taking TRUVADA for PrEP, talk
to your healthcare provider to decide if you
should keep taking TRUVADA.
® If you are breastfeeding (nursing) or plan to
breastfeed. Do not breastfeed. If you become
HIV-positive, HIV can be passed to the baby in
breast milk.
® All the medicines you take, including
prescription and over-the-counter medicines,
vitamins, and herbal supplements. TRUVADA may
interact with other medicines. Keep a list of all
your medicines and show it to your healthcare
provider and pharmacist when you get a new
medicine.
® If you take certain other medicines with
TRUVADA, your healthcare provider may need to
check you more often or change your dose. These
medicines include certain medicines to treat
hepatitis C (HCV) infection.
You are encouraged to report negative side
effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.

BY IAN-MICHAEL BERGERON

Humble Pie
The same week I ate
bodega pumpkin pie
on Thanksgiving (re: last
week’s column), I was lucky
enough to be on the cover
of this very magazine you’re
reading now.
The Thanksgiving issue was
a week shy of my one-year
anniversary writing for Get
Out! Magazine and featured
me, entirely nude and barely
cropped, staring right at
you. My column that week
was something new, a very
solemn look back on my
first Thanksgiving in New
York, spent alone, with an
interview by Eileen Shapiro
about my writing (and, of
course, my sex life).
I was so excited. I took every
opportunity that week to
go out, to take friends for a
casual drink after work at any
bar I knew had the magazine
- Pieces, Boots and Saddle,
Barrage, you name it. Then
I’d feign embarrassment
(before making them read it,
and tell me how wonderfully
the cover came out). I even
sent a copy to my mom -
yeah, my mom reads my
column. (She also writes
to me each time there’s an
error, like when I improperly
use a word or misspell
something. She keeps me
humble.)
The next week, while my
cover was still in circulation,
a group of friends wanted
to do karaoke - so naturally,
I suggested a gay bar that
had Get Out!. We met in
the back, gathered at a long
table: I wanted to wait for
everyone to arrive before I
“accidentally” discovered
the magazine.
Finally, with everyone
drinking away and their
karaoke choice in queue, I
pretended to spot it. “Oh
my God,” I said out loud,
looking around, “they still
have my cover!” I got up to
snag a few to ogle at.
On my way over to the bar,
I noticed the bartender
bringing over another
big stack of magazines:
this week’s Get Out. After
placing them on the counter
top, he placed a large
garbage bin underneath,
and, with a swift and easy
motion, pushed all of my
issues into it.
I stopped short. Just like
that, I became old news -
my 15 minutes of fame (or,
rather, seven days of fame)
were over.
I turned around - all of
my friends were staring,
and, all together, burst out
laughing. I returned to the
table, ordered a drink, and
didn’t sing the whole night
through.
Don’t worry, that didn’t keep
me down for long. I still
have copies of my cover,
and whenever I need a little
pick-me-up, I pick one up
and smile.

When creating the first “Carols for a Cure” album in 1999,
did you imagine you’d be doing it 19 years later?
Lynn Pinto: We had no idea it would be such a fun, creative
outlet for everyone and that theater fans would respond so
favorably to it.
How has the series grown through the years?
That first year, we recorded in a church over a couple of days.
It’s since evolved into a big production. We record over six
weeks with a huge team of amazing professionals in some of
the best studios in New York City.
BY GENEVIEVE RAFTER KEDDY
How does it work? Do you approach each show with the
song you would like them to record for the album?
The companies choose their songs. Most times, they’ve already
chosen their song long before we even start scheduling the
recording sessions.
Was Billy Porter a dream to work with?
Billy has sung on “Carols for a Cure” a few times, and he’s
always fantastic! Such a pro. He knocks it out of the park every
time he opens his mouth. Many Broadway singers aren’t as
comfortable behind a microphone, but Billy knows exactly what
he’s doing. He has a strong background in recording, so he
instinctively knows what works and what doesn’t, and always
gives us wonderful options to work with.
Avenue Q’s “12 Days of Christmas” is simply adorable.
Isn’t it? The company, led by Michael Liscio and Karl Mansfield,
came up with the words and arrangement. They even brought
along their puppets for photo ops after the session!
How does the cast of CATS make “Joy to the World” their
own?
That particular single is so special to me! Brian Taylor, Andrew
Zinsmeister and Max Calkin did such a creative arrangement,
inspired largely by our current political state of affairs. They
wanted to bring hope to the many of us who are despairing
under the current administration, and their ingenious
arrangement does just that. Mamie Parris (who stars as
Grizabella in Cats) solos and brings such joy to the song.
Every song is a gem.
I agree. I’m always asked to pick a favorite, and I just can’t.
I adore them all! Daniel Lincoln’s arrangement of “God Rest
Ye Merry Gentlemen” and the stellar performance by the
company of Wicked is incredible. Sharon Wheatley and the
lovely ladies from Come From Away present a stunningly
beautiful version of “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.” The cast
of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory perform a soulful version
of “Do You Hear What I Hear,” and The Lion King’s version of
the Stevie Wonder classic “Everyone’s a Kid at Christmas” is
such a happy song, I’ve been singing it for weeks!
What are some of the original songs featured on the album?
Anastacia McCleskey and the cast of Waitress perform an
original song by Sara Bareilles’ long-time guitar player Meghan
Toohey. It’s wonderful!

The cast of The Phantom of the Opera
surprised us this year with an original
folk song called “Old Fashioned
Christmas.” The Hamilton cast always
comes up with something relevant,
gorgeous and insightful, and this
year was no exception. “Chester” is a
Revolutionary War hymn with references
to slavery, and six members of the cast
wrote original raps to bring it into 2017.
I also have a special place in my heart
for “This Is the Night,” a gospel song
written and performed by NaTasha
Yvette Williams from the incredible
company of Chicago.
Why is it important that fans of
Broadway support the album?
It’s important that everyone support
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS
in whatever way they can. It’s an
organization that began as a grassroots
effort when so many in the Broadway
community were feeling utterly helpless
and hopeless from losing friends left
and right. It has grown into a larger
organization over the years, but the
mission and heart of the BC/EFA remains
the same. The contributions made in any
form reach people in need all over the
country and around the world. I hope
that people support the album, because
the music is imbued with so much love
and spirit and [is] perfect for this most
magical time of the year.
“Broadway’s Carols for a
Cure” can be purchased at
BroadwayCares.org.

CELEBRITY CORRESPONDENT
Cyndi
Lauper
and Friends:
Home for
the Holidays
Once again Cyndi Lauper and an
all-star line up will be performing live
on the stage of The Beacon Theater
in New York City in Cyndi Lauper
and Friends: Home for the Holidays,
an event benefiting the True Colors
Fund, co-founded by Lauper to end homelessness amongst LGBT youth.
The guests for this extravaganza, now in its seventh year, include Jackson
Browne, Dr. John, Sandra Bernhard, Bridget Everett, Judy Gold, Peaches,
Ricky Schroeder, Tommy Martinez, Ariana and the Rose, Wrabel, Paulina
Rubio and more. It will be hosted by Carson Kressley on Saturday,
December 9, at 8 p.m. Tickets can be secured at ticketmaster.com.
Each year Lauper and the True Colors Fund make amazing strides in
accomplishing the task of eliminating homelessness for LGBT youth. This
year the fund hosted the third annual #40toNoneDay to raise awareness of
LGBT youth homelessness, which has reached nearly 130 million people
online in the past three years. They’ve sent free True Inclusion Toolboxes to
nearly 500 service providers, which equip them to offer safe care for LGBT
youth. They have facilitated the National Youth Forum on Homelessness and
released “At the Intersections,” the most comprehensive resource on LGBT
youth homelessness. They held the fourth annual 40 to None Summit, the
only national annual gathering focused on innovative solutions to end LGBT
youth homelessness in America, and other enormous accomplishments as
well. The True Colors Fund is helping create a world where young people
can be themselves.
“At this pivotal time in our nation’s history, we need to unite - rather than
divide - the country any further,” Lauper says. “At Home for the Holidays,
we will come together to raise our voices and celebrate our differences. I’m
so grateful to the artists, who are donating their time and talent to bring
attention to this very important cause.”

Once again, it’s nearly time for your
amazing Home for the Holidays,
and you have fabulous friends
joining you this year. What has the
True Colors Fund accomplished this
past year?
Over the past year, the True Colors
Fund has been busy in Washington,
D.C., and all over the country, but our
primary focus continues to be on ensuring
that LGBTQ youth have access to safe,
inclusive and welcoming services across
the country. We have been working with
a record number of service providers
and communities to provide free training
and support. We released a number of
new toolkits and sent out over 500 of
our True Inclusion Toolboxes to housing
programs and other service providers this
summer. We are working with all of the
homeless youth service providers in the
states of Minnesota and Nebraska to go
through our True Inclusion Assessment,
which allows us to identify what agencies
are doing right and where there are gaps
that need to be filled. Then, we provide
them with recommendations and support
them as they put those in place. We have
also been working in communities, like
Nashville, TN, Grand Rapids, MI, and St.
Petersburg, FL, to help them develop and
implement multi-year plans to prevent and
end LGBTQ youth homelessness. And, our
40 to None Summit last month was our
best attended to date!
How did you first become aware of
the homeless crisis in the LGBTQ
youth community?
About 10 years ago, I had gone down to
the Christopher Street Pier in New York
City and met a number of LGBTQ youth
who were experiencing homelessness. They
shared their stories of being rejected by
their families and the struggles they were
having being homeless - especially the
transgender young people. As a mom, I
was worried about them and angry at the
same time that as a society we were letting
this happen to our young people. That is
when I decided that I needed to do more
and was a key moment in our deciding to
start the True Colors Fund.
“Not My Father’s Son” is a very
emotional video and song. Do you
believe that songs like that have the
power to change the world?
I have always believed in the power of song
and music. I know music has gotten me
through some of the darker hours. I hope
when people hear this song, they leave
the show and call their kids and tell them
they love them. Or someone that they feel
they have not been supportive enough and
realize that and want to tell them they love
them. Sometimes we are hardest on the
ones we love the most.
Do you have a hero or a musical
idol?
My mother and my husband are my
heroes. Both of them have sacrificed so
much for their families. My mom, as a
single mother, raised me and my siblings.
My husband really puts the interest of me
and my son over his own. As for musical
heroes, there are many, from the great Big
Momma Thornton to Janis Joplin to David
Bowie to Prince to Joni Mitchell. They all
taught me so much through their music
and inspired me as an artist.
What advice would you offer
someone in crisis, being thrown out
on the street and not knowing where
to turn?
If you are still at home and need help,
talk to someone in your life that you trust,
and if you do not have someone, call The
Trevor Project [at] (888) 989-2455 or
the National Runaway Safeline [at] (800)
RUNAWAY. If you have left your home, go
to the closest service provider near where
you are. They will help you.
You can find a directory of agencies at
truecolorsfund.org. You can also get
connected to a program through the
National Runaway Safeline. You are not
alone; there are people and programs out
there set up to help you. The first step is
reaching out to them as quickly as you can.

If you could have your ultimate
stage fantasy, what would you need
to happen?
I would like one day to have a show
with really big production, like [an]
amazing Vegas show. Think it would
be fun to have one of those crazy, big,
everything-you-can-think-of crazy stage
productions.
Are there any new projects that
you are currently working on and
can talk about?
I just started writing songs for the
musical adaption of “Working Girl.” It’s
in the very early stages. Kim Rosenstock
is writing the musical. She’s amazing,
and I think we are going to really have
fun together bringing this show to
Broadway. Kinky Boots is still going
strong on Broadway. I’m heading to
Germany in a few days as Kinky Boots
opens in Hamburg on December 3. This
will be the sixth country the show has
opened in. Can you believe it! The show
has been seen by millions of people,
and I’m proud the show that celebrates
acceptance and love is so well received.
I am about to launch a clothing, shoe
and jewelry line with HSN on December
12. I’ve always loved fashion so much,
so to have my own line is a dream come
true. It’s called A Touch of Cyn. Watch
the live premiere 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. EST
on December 12.
I’m also writing songs for a new CD,
because I always feel the pull of the
studio! I love recording, and I will be out
on the road next summer again. Look for
an announcement in the new year!
Is there anything that I haven’t
asked you that you’d like to
include?
Come and join me and all the amazing
guests at Home for the Holidays on
December 9. It is one big party that you
don’t want to miss. What a great way to
celebrate the holidays with some of my
favorite people in one evening.
