His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

This will essentially shift all enforcement to the Federal Trade Commission, which polices violations rather than pre-empts them through regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadband companies have been saying that they do not intend to block, slow down or prioritize any web traffic as a result of this repeal, arguing that it's not in their interest to aggravate their users by messing with their internet traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Net neutrality activists, however, have been \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/12/net-neutrality-supporters-break-the-internet-in-latest-protest/\">rallying widespread protests\u003c/a> against the vote, saying the repeal will empower broadband companies to act as gatekeepers of the internet, for example allowing them to prioritize their own video-streaming services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer interest groups have told NPR that they are also planning to pursue a lawsuit challenging Thursday's FCC decision, which would be the fourth related \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/14/471286113/u-s-appeals-court-holds-up-net-neutrality-rules-in-full\">court case\u003c/a> in a decade.

They have argued, among other things, that the FCC rushed the procedure and ignored a massive outpouring of millions of public comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commenting process has been mired in controversy after several reviews \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/millions-of-people-post-comments-on-federal-regulations-many-are-fake-1513099188\">found a number of the comments\u003c/a> to be fraudulent or duplicative, using fake names, fake addresses and even names of dead people.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Debate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who voted against the rules in 2015, has portrayed the Obama-era regulations — which put broadband providers under the strictest-ever FCC oversight — as government \"micromanaging the internet.\" He and broadband companies have argued that the regulations have stifled innovation and investment in broadband networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What is responsible for the phenomenal development of the internet? Certainly wasn't heavy-handed government regulation,\" Pai said on Thursday, adding his oft-repeated line that \"there was no problem to solve. The internet wasn't broken in 2015, we were not living in some digital dystopia. ... It is time for us to bring faster, better and cheaper internet access to all Americans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large tech companies — such as Netflix, Google and Facebook — have long spoken in support of strict net neutrality rules. However, as they've grown in size, their advocacy \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/12/technology/net-neutrality-fcc-tech.html?_r=0\">has become more muted\u003c/a>, putting on the forefront smaller competitors like Etsy and Vimeo, which argue that startups stand to lose the most on an internet that allows for special \"priority\" traffic deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"WA8g6zxu9UZopjREKUB0PU7X7QNwcOOc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have heard from innovators, worried that we are standing up a 'mother-may-I' regime, where the broadband provider becomes arbiter of acceptable online business models,\" Democratic FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn said in a blistering dissent on Thursday, adding, \"When the current 2015 net neutrality rules are laid to waste, we may be left with no single authority with the power to protect consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the Internet Association, which represents dozens of tech companies, called Pai's repeal \"a departure from more than a decade of broad, bipartisan consensus on the rules governing the internet\" and amounted to \"relying\" on internet providers \"to live to their own 'promises.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican FCC Commissioner Mike O'Rielly called the concerns of potential net neutrality violations \"guilt by imagination\" and \"baseless fear-mongering.\" He said, \"I'm simply not persuaded that heavy-handed rules are needed to protect from hypothetical harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: NPR's legal counsel has filed comments with the FCC on behalf of the public radio system, opposing the repeal of the 2015 net neutrality rules. \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10717112197099/NPR%20Restoring%20Internet%20Freedom%20Comments.Final.pdf\">\u003cem>You can read them here.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

This will essentially shift all enforcement to the Federal Trade Commission, which polices violations rather than pre-empts them through regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadband companies have been saying that they do not intend to block, slow down or prioritize any web traffic as a result of this repeal, arguing that it's not in their interest to aggravate their users by messing with their internet traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Net neutrality activists, however, have been \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/12/net-neutrality-supporters-break-the-internet-in-latest-protest/\">rallying widespread protests\u003c/a> against the vote, saying the repeal will empower broadband companies to act as gatekeepers of the internet, for example allowing them to prioritize their own video-streaming services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer interest groups have told NPR that they are also planning to pursue a lawsuit challenging Thursday's FCC decision, which would be the fourth related \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/14/471286113/u-s-appeals-court-holds-up-net-neutrality-rules-in-full\">court case\u003c/a> in a decade.

Certainly wasn't heavy-handed government regulation,\" Pai said on Thursday, adding his oft-repeated line that \"there was no problem to solve. The internet wasn't broken in 2015, we were not living in some digital dystopia. ... It is time for us to bring faster, better and cheaper internet access to all Americans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large tech companies — such as Netflix, Google and Facebook — have long spoken in support of strict net neutrality rules. However, as they've grown in size, their advocacy \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/12/technology/net-neutrality-fcc-tech.html?_r=0\">has become more muted\u003c/a>, putting on the forefront smaller competitors like Etsy and Vimeo, which argue that startups stand to lose the most on an internet that allows for special \"priority\" traffic deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have heard from innovators, worried that we are standing up a 'mother-may-I' regime, where the broadband provider becomes arbiter of acceptable online business models,\" Democratic FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn said in a blistering dissent on Thursday, adding, \"When the current 2015 net neutrality rules are laid to waste, we may be left with no single authority with the power to protect consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the Internet Association, which represents dozens of tech companies, called Pai's repeal \"a departure from more than a decade of broad, bipartisan consensus on the rules governing the internet\" and amounted to \"relying\" on internet providers \"to live to their own 'promises.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican FCC Commissioner Mike O'Rielly called the concerns of potential net neutrality violations \"guilt by imagination\" and \"baseless fear-mongering.\" He said, \"I'm simply not persuaded that heavy-handed rules are needed to protect from hypothetical harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: NPR's legal counsel has filed comments with the FCC on behalf of the public radio system, opposing the repeal of the 2015 net neutrality rules. \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10717112197099/NPR%20Restoring%20Internet%20Freedom%20Comments.Final.pdf\">\u003cem>You can read them here.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>A lot of women have come forward in the past few months with stories of being sexually harassed, and often the perpetrators have lost their jobs. But in other cases, women have shared their experiences and there has been no change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley engineer Niniane Wang wanted to be certain that when she came forward, the man responsible paid a price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang has the kind of pedigree that should equal dollar signs for any investor: a master’s in computer science, founder of Google Desktop and lead engineering positions at Microsoft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for women in Silicon Valley, all those credentials \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/11/16/564498133/struggling-for-investments-silicon-valley-women-reluctant-to-speak-out-on-harass\">might not add up to much\u003c/a>. Over the past decade, the share of women getting venture funding has hovered around 2 percent. Wang is among the few who did manage to get some of that money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she hit a snag one night back in 2010. Justin Caldbeck, an investor in a startup incubator that she ran, asked to meet for a drink to talk about a company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/568455103/570603553\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I showed up,” Wang says, “he switched the conversation to be questions about my dating life and then started to pressure me for sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang didn’t know what to say. She was afraid to offend an investor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She politely told Caldbeck she didn’t want to mix business with pleasure. But she says Caldbeck continued to pursue her, not just that night but over a period of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt very trapped,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, she says, Caldbeck stopped. Still, Wang didn’t want to go public because she worried it would jeopardize her relationships with other investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had seen too many cases where women told their stories only to be ignored or disbelieved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You worked up all this courage to tell your story and the perpetrator doesn’t have any consequences,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”w2GuW1DZ1GIUPZtzKUrqoQInPjaEfkro”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, she saw \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/21/533754816/uber-founder-resigns-under-pressure-as-ceo-published-report-says\">the resignation of Uber’s CEO\u003c/a> and other executives after the company got caught up in a harassment scandal. Seeing how they were brought down inspired her. With the logic of an engineer, she developed her own method for her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, she set a goal for herself: Stop Caldbeck from harassing other women. Then, she gathered evidence — texts, emails, phone records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Word got around the whisper network and two other victims of Caldbeck’s harassment came forward with her. They thought hard about the best way to talk about what happened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very important if you want results that you actually tell the story in a dispassionate way with evidence that describes the details of what happened without extraneous, irrelevant content,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They strategically picked a media outlet: \u003ca href=\"https://www.theinformation.com/silicon-valley-women-tell-of-vcs-unwanted-advances\">The Information\u003c/a>, an online news site read by Silicon Valley elite. They felt it was the best way to show people in the industry what was happening to women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on a Thursday in June, the article was published. “I felt at the time like I was jumping off a cliff and taking two other women with me,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, nothing happened. Wang had a network of people on social media, so she made sure they saw the article and reposted it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were tweeting. I messaged some of them and gave them the info they were asking for,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”a9KpLsy6HzI6gnLwbRdYCk3UbHftUvyj”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of four days, Caldbeck went from denying the allegations to \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/binary-capital-partner-quits-2448160422.html\">resigning from his venture capital firm\u003c/a>, Binary Capital. He told NPR: “I’m sorry to any women that I’ve ever put in a bad position or made uncomfortable through my actions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang’s clearheaded engineering strategy had worked. In fact, it had worked so well that it actually impressed some investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Mike Hirshland. He says he knew Wang a little, and he was always impressed with her. So when he saw the story, he sent her a note. “In a time that she probably felt like she was in the middle of a tempest,” he says. “I just wanted to share with her that I was a big fan and hoped someday to back her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other good things happened for Wang. Her current startup was purchased by Niantic, a Google spinoff, and her boyfriend proposed to her. Her success sparked more women to come forward, and some of them came to her for advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Kater Gordon. “When I saw Niniane come forward this summer I reached out to her,” she says. “I just thought, ‘Man, you’re so brave.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon told Niniane her story. It involved a powerful Hollywood figure — Matthew Weiner — the creator of the hit series \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>. When she was 27, Gordon was his writing assistant; she won an Emmy for her work. Gordon says she often worked long hours late into the night alone with Weiner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then one night, she says, things took a different turn. “We were working together, and he told me that I owed it to him to let him see me naked,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon ignored the comment, but she says it made her question whether Weiner really thought she was talented. It changed their relationship. He began to yell at her during work hours. Eventually, she left the show and gave up her career in Hollywood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, eight years later, she wanted Wang’s help to tell her story. Wang sat her down and walked through how she had done it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang told Gordon she needed a goal.

Over the past decade, the share of women getting venture funding has hovered around 2 percent. Wang is among the few who did manage to get some of that money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she hit a snag one night back in 2010.

She was afraid to offend an investor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She politely told Caldbeck she didn’t want to mix business with pleasure. But she says Caldbeck continued to pursue her, not just that night but over a period of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt very trapped,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, she says, Caldbeck stopped. Still, Wang didn’t want to go public because she worried it would jeopardize her relationships with other investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had seen too many cases where women told their stories only to be ignored or disbelieved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You worked up all this courage to tell your story and the perpetrator doesn’t have any consequences,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, she saw \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/21/533754816/uber-founder-resigns-under-pressure-as-ceo-published-report-says\">the resignation of Uber’s CEO\u003c/a> and other executives after the company got caught up in a harassment scandal. Seeing how they were brought down inspired her. With the logic of an engineer, she developed her own method for her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, she set a goal for herself: Stop Caldbeck from harassing other women. Then, she gathered evidence — texts, emails, phone records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Word got around the whisper network and two other victims of Caldbeck’s harassment came forward with her. They thought hard about the best way to talk about what happened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very important if you want results that you actually tell the story in a dispassionate way with evidence that describes the details of what happened without extraneous, irrelevant content,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They strategically picked a media outlet: \u003ca href=\"https://www.theinformation.com/silicon-valley-women-tell-of-vcs-unwanted-advances\">The Information\u003c/a>, an online news site read by Silicon Valley elite. They felt it was the best way to show people in the industry what was happening to women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on a Thursday in June, the article was published. “I felt at the time like I was jumping off a cliff and taking two other women with me,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, nothing happened. Wang had a network of people on social media, so she made sure they saw the article and reposted it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were tweeting. I messaged some of them and gave them the info they were asking for,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of four days, Caldbeck went from denying the allegations to \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/binary-capital-partner-quits-2448160422.html\">resigning from his venture capital firm\u003c/a>, Binary Capital. He told NPR: “I’m sorry to any women that I’ve ever put in a bad position or made uncomfortable through my actions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang’s clearheaded engineering strategy had worked. In fact, it had worked so well that it actually impressed some investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Mike Hirshland. He says he knew Wang a little, and he was always impressed with her. So when he saw the story, he sent her a note. “In a time that she probably felt like she was in the middle of a tempest,” he says. “I just wanted to share with her that I was a big fan and hoped someday to back her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other good things happened for Wang. Her current startup was purchased by Niantic, a Google spinoff, and her boyfriend proposed to her. Her success sparked more women to come forward, and some of them came to her for advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Kater Gordon. “When I saw Niniane come forward this summer I reached out to her,” she says. “I just thought, ‘Man, you’re so brave.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon told Niniane her story. It involved a powerful Hollywood figure — Matthew Weiner — the creator of the hit series \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>. When she was 27, Gordon was his writing assistant; she won an Emmy for her work. Gordon says she often worked long hours late into the night alone with Weiner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then one night, she says, things took a different turn. “We were working together, and he told me that I owed it to him to let him see me naked,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon ignored the comment, but she says it made her question whether Weiner really thought she was talented. It changed their relationship. He began to yell at her during work hours. Eventually, she left the show and gave up her career in Hollywood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, eight years later, she wanted Wang’s help to tell her story. Wang sat her down and walked through how she had done it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang told Gordon she needed a goal. For Gordon, it was about restoring her reputation as a writer and warning other women about Weiner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, just as she had done, Wang told Gordon to develop a sort of chart with ways to achieve her goal. That involved finding other people to verify her account of what happened and telling her story in a way that was dispassionate and clear. Then, finding the best publication for her target audience. And if needed, Gordon should think of social media contacts that could help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She found a pattern for herself that worked,” says Gordon, “and then she’s expanding it to include other people, so that … you’re not starting from square one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Both were given an initial dose of the antiretroviral combination Truvada, also known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, within two weeks after their suspected exposure to the virus. The treatment came so soon after infection that their immune systems had yet to generate an antibody response. In Hawley’s case, only a more sensitive genetic test called PCR, which measures an individual’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.aidsmap.com/Viral-load/page/1327496/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">viral load\u003c/a>, showed signs of HIV. After the initial treatment, both men were switched to a daily four-drug antiviral regimen, which drove the virus below detectable levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened next is a mystery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"6nfWarjopr6zyonYcblrTOe4VSljxsdZ\"]As reported Nov. 7 in \u003cem> \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/8JwmB0iVvmacp?domain=journals.plos.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PloS Medicine\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, a UCSF team led by Drs. Timothy Henrich and Steven Deeks said it failed to detect any trace of HIV in Hawley’s blood or tissue for the two years he remained on medication. Typically individuals on successful HIV therapy are classified as “undetectable” when drugs drive viral activity below observable levels in the blood. But it’s known that a small amount of residual virus called the HIV reservoir may be found in tissue using sensitive PCR tests. These came up negative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hawley then went off the drugs, a step that was part of the study design. About seven months later, the virus rebounded, quickly multiplying into an active infection. He immediately resumed antiretroviral treatment, which again rendered the virus undetectable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_437571\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-437571 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"754\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding-160x121.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding-800x603.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding-768x579.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding-960x724.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding-240x181.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding-375x283.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/12/deeks-and-volberding-520x392.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Steven Deeks, right, who talked about the results of early intervention after exposure to the HIV virus, at amfAR's 2017 HIV Cure Summit. On the left is long-time HIV researcher Dr. Paul Volberding. \u003ccite>(amfAR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But what puzzled scientists was that his body still showed no sign of an antibody response. That suggested his immune system had never had sufficient time to generate a defense because the drugs had worked so quickly that they halted the initial infection. Yet, they knew he still had HIV from the results of a viral load test. More genetic tests confirmed the resuscitated virus was the same strain he was initially exposed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We got close; we may have been off by a day or two.'\u003ccite>Dr. Steven Deeks, UCSF\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Deeks said Hawley probably has a small latent reservoir of HIV somewhere in his body, which hasn’t grown due to Truvada’s suppression of the virus’s initial spread. His status is now in a kind of limbo, somewhere between having HIV and not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole excitement around Clark is that we were able to initiate therapy so early that we were hoping to prevent the establishing of latency,” says Deeks. “But it did not happen. We got close; we may have been off by a day or two. We did not achieve a real cure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if Hawley had been permanently freed of HIV, the problem with any protocol based on such early treatment is that doctors rarely detect a patient’s infection in the first days after exposure. Rather, the case is significant due to the milestone of pushing a patient into long-term remission free of medication, and because it might offer new clues on how to induce a permanent state of HIV dormancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dramatically Reducing HIV Reservoirs\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canales’ case is also tantalizing. He was given a PrEP dose of Truvada 12 days after exposure, and for two years showed no sign of HIV in blood or tissue samples on both viral load and PCR tests. Because of Hawley’s relapse experience after stopping therapy, doctors kept him on the treatment. The only way they could detect signs of the virus in Canales was by transferring some of his cells into mice bred with a copycat human immune system. They were able to intermittently spy a virus particle here or there upon removing the cells from the mice. As with Hawley, early treatment had dramatically limited the amount of virus that would later coalesce into a dormant pool in his body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we have proven to ourselves that early treatment will never be curative,” Deeks said, referring to complete eradication of the virus within someone’s body. When pressed whether he really meant “never,” he amended his answer: “No, not yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But we can definitely shift the balance in favor of the patient,” he went on, “because the reservoir is reduced a hundred- to a million-fold.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deeks and his team are now investigating a series of HIV vaccines aimed at providing an immune booster to control the pieces of virus that remain in a patient’s body, the final step in sending HIV patients into remission — no medication required. Beyond that, if such tools could wipe out the last pockets of HIV, medical science would have finally achieved its ultimate goal in the fight against AIDS — an actual cure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Anne-christine d’Adesky is a longtime chronicler of HIV research.

Timothy Henrich and Steven Deeks said it failed to detect any trace of HIV in Hawley’s blood or tissue for the two years he remained on medication. Typically individuals on successful HIV therapy are classified as “undetectable” when drugs drive viral activity below observable levels in the blood. But it’s known that a small amount of residual virus called the HIV reservoir may be found in tissue using sensitive PCR tests. These came up negative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hawley then went off the drugs, a step that was part of the study design.

That suggested his immune system had never had sufficient time to generate a defense because the drugs had worked so quickly that they halted the initial infection. Yet, they knew he still had HIV from the results of a viral load test. More genetic tests confirmed the resuscitated virus was the same strain he was initially exposed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We got close; we may have been off by a day or two.'\u003ccite>Dr. Steven Deeks, UCSF\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Deeks said Hawley probably has a small latent reservoir of HIV somewhere in his body, which hasn’t grown due to Truvada’s suppression of the virus’s initial spread. His status is now in a kind of limbo, somewhere between having HIV and not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole excitement around Clark is that we were able to initiate therapy so early that we were hoping to prevent the establishing of latency,” says Deeks. “But it did not happen. We got close; we may have been off by a day or two. We did not achieve a real cure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if Hawley had been permanently freed of HIV, the problem with any protocol based on such early treatment is that doctors rarely detect a patient’s infection in the first days after exposure. Rather, the case is significant due to the milestone of pushing a patient into long-term remission free of medication, and because it might offer new clues on how to induce a permanent state of HIV dormancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dramatically Reducing HIV Reservoirs\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canales’ case is also tantalizing. He was given a PrEP dose of Truvada 12 days after exposure, and for two years showed no sign of HIV in blood or tissue samples on both viral load and PCR tests. Because of Hawley’s relapse experience after stopping therapy, doctors kept him on the treatment. The only way they could detect signs of the virus in Canales was by transferring some of his cells into mice bred with a copycat human immune system. They were able to intermittently spy a virus particle here or there upon removing the cells from the mice. As with Hawley, early treatment had dramatically limited the amount of virus that would later coalesce into a dormant pool in his body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we have proven to ourselves that early treatment will never be curative,” Deeks said, referring to complete eradication of the virus within someone’s body. When pressed whether he really meant “never,” he amended his answer: “No, not yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But we can definitely shift the balance in favor of the patient,” he went on, “because the reservoir is reduced a hundred- to a million-fold.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deeks and his team are now investigating a series of HIV vaccines aimed at providing an immune booster to control the pieces of virus that remain in a patient’s body, the final step in sending HIV patients into remission — no medication required. Beyond that, if such tools could wipe out the last pockets of HIV, medical science would have finally achieved its ultimate goal in the fight against AIDS — an actual cure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Anne-christine d’Adesky is a longtime chronicler of HIV research.

We reached out to Sung Hae Kim, HR expert and vice president of people operations for Wizeline, a San Francisco-based software company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim said that contrary to popular belief, a healthy HR department should be an advocate for employees. “\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If HR isn’t the department that is responsible for advocating for employees, then what department is?” she said. But Kim acknowledged the perception that HR’s role is to protect the company, first and foremost, is rooted in some truth. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The roots of HR go back to industrial relations in the 1920s, where people’s rights at work needed to be protected,” Kim said. “Then came along scientific management where research was conducted with the aim to improve worker efficiency. In the last two decades, much of the focus for human resources has been about being a strategic partner to the business.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this shift, Kim said, more responsibility has been given to managers to coach their people, and many HR departments are focused on helping the company deliver results.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Internally, the company has to value human resources and invest in it. \u003c/span>This fosters a culture where people feel safe and supported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What can employees do?

The focus, she said, has shifted from the accuser to the accused. “I really believe we are at a tipping point where our society is becoming unwilling to enable sexual harassment to go on without being addressed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Share your stories of sexual harassment in the Bay Area:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout aligncenter\">[youTooForm]\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Our mutual friends acted like nothing had happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A charming young EMT who I met at a rock concert invited me on a date. He bought me a nice dinner at Nopa.

I was feeling really uncomfortable but too intoxicated to safely leave on my own. He kept saying, “Before you leave you’re gonna suck my dick.” To be honest, I was really scared of the guy.

I screamed, “Get the fuck off of me!” Then I ran out of his room. He called after me, “You’re fucking crazy.” I walked home through the Mission to where I was living in Hayes Valley alone at around 4 a.m. The experience really messed with me. To be honest, I believe it has affected my ability to be intimate with people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A longtime and dear friend of mine grabbed my crotch while supposedly giving me a back rub. I told him not to do that and he apologized. Then he grabbed my crotch again. I yelled at him loud enough that, had I continued, I would have woken his girlfriend who was asleep in the other room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He refused to acknowledge what he’d done and occasionally still texts me to ask how I’m doing — as if he doesn’t understand why I’m not talking to him.

It makes me uncomfortable because I like to stand up for myself, but often feel it is unsafe to do so alone on a dark street so I am forced to keep it inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have been followed on my bus route home and now carry pepper spray inches from my right hand on my backpack. \u003cstrong>The fact that I am encouraged to arm myself against rogue men at all times is a truly disgraceful reflection of our society.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>I didn’t report it because of \u003c/em>self-blame and because women who report rape suffer even more and rarely do they see justice. Especially when alcohol is involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My life hasn’t been impacted by the rape specifically because I don’t remember it. My body has, however, stored the trauma in my ass, so I sometimes have a panic attack and start crying during anal sex with my current partner. We are working through it together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of sexual harassment at concerts, this affects me by making me feel closed off at concerts, like I can’t wear what I want or dance the way I want without inviting creepers. This happens at some concerts more than others, and the difference is so palpable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the men are being allies, it creates a safe space and it is clear that the women are having a much better time and feeling free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I haven’t heard much from the men’s side: how they are reacting to #MeToo and what they have noticed inside themselves.\u003c/strong> I want to hear what they are doing to make changes when they perpetrate rape culture and see it happening around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem>— Becca, 25, San Francisco\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"aligncenter noborder\">\n\u003ctable>\n\u003ctbody>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003ca href=\"#home\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11420594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/home_rectangle_blue.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\">\u003c/a>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003ca href=\"#public\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11420594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/PUBLIC_rectangle_green.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\">\u003c/a>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003ca href=\"#work\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11420594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/work_rectangle_purple.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\">\u003c/a>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003ca href=\"#outing\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11420594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/socialevent_rectangle_bluepurple.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\">\u003c/a>\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003c/tbody>\n\u003c/table>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003ch2 id=\"public\">\u003cstrong>It happened in public\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]I[/dropcap] have two stories I would like to share.\u003cbr>\nThe first was a physical assault, the second workplace harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was 25, I was a preschool teacher at a school in the Outer Mission. One night I was locking up the building by myself. As I was leaving and locking the front door from the street, (the door was in a little alcove), I was grabbed from behind by two men. One put his hands on me as if to hold me in place (I was so scared I didn’t move anyway). The other man put his hand under my coat and grabbed me between my legs. Full crotch grab. It only lasted 30 seconds or so, but it was enough time for me to feel completely vulnerable and at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they let go, they walked down Mission laughing. They were intoxicated. It was only 6:30 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I ran across the street and walked parallel to the men on the other side of the street. I was so angry and felt so violated. I wanted to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After about a block of shadowing them, I flagged down a passing cop car. I told them what happened and they had me sit in the back of the squad car. We followed the men and they ducked into a bar when they noticed they are being followed by the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cops go in and bring the two men out in cuffs. It takes 20 minutes for an interpreter to arrive after it is established that neither man speaks English and both are in this country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While waiting, one officer fills out a report with me. \u003cstrong>After we are done going over every little detail, the cop informs me that it would have been “better” if the man who grabbed me had made contact with my skin\u003c/strong>, as that would be an entirely different and more serious charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the report was filled out, I began my commute home for the night, case number in hand. I was told I would have to testify against the men and that someone would contact me “if the case went anywhere.” I never heard a single thing about this case and to this day have no idea what happened to the men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another experience I had was a very toxic work environment with rampant sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I worked shortly for a company that connected behavioral therapists with families with children on the autism spectrum. When I was in the interview process, some semi-inappropriate language was used. I didn’t think too much of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A friend of mine worked for the company and got me the interview. I was told by the hiring manager that my friend had put in a good word and had said that “I was cool” and “could hang,” on reference to the inappropriate comments. I was being tested to see if I would say anything. I guess I passed because I was hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company was very small and the employees were tight-knit. It was quickly clear that almost every person within the office (excluding my friend) had very inappropriate relationships with each other. Employees were sleeping together, constantly talking about their sex lives and making inappropriate sexual jokes about each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11635463\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"Kate,%2028,%20San%20Francisco\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11635463\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kate, 28, San Francisco \u003ccite>(Miranda Leitsinger/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The jokes, stories and culture was spearheaded by the CEO.

He (the other guy, not the drunk friend) started to make sexually suggestive and crude comments about what he wanted to do with me when we got back to the dorm. I asked him to stop but he wouldn’t and called me a tease for objecting to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My drunk friend was too incapacitated to help. When we got back, the harasser persisted with his crude suggestions and wouldn’t leave, and I was afraid to go to my room alone. I basically stuck with my drunk friend for safety and had to listen to him go on about what a prude I was for not giving in to him; until eventually other people came back to the dorm and I could go to my room with an escort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day I warned another girl about what happened; she told the harasser what I said and he confronted me and told me I had no right to smear his good name with other girls. I had to live in the same dorm as him for another eight months and avoided him as much as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still see that guy on Facebook through mutual friends and at college reunions and it makes me sick to my stomach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>I didn’t report it because \u003c/i>I didn’t think it was something anyone would take seriously; I thought it was part of the stuff you learn to handle when you go off to college as an adult woman.\u003cstrong> I’m one of countless women who have been socialized to deal with this kind of stuff.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I haven’t been impacted much, but it’s been something I’ve kept quiet from almost all of our mutual friends for over 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem>— Cynthia Castro Sweet, scientist, manager/supervisor, 47, San Jose\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">N\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>obody has successfully raped me.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was 12, a gray-bearded man followed me down the street in broad daylight, begging me to let him get me stoned. When I refused, he said, “Can I at least buy you some ice cream?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was 17, the owner of an Italian restaurant I worked at started laughing and chattering in Italian while he mimed bouncing and squeezing my breasts in his hands. He did this behind a counter, in full view of restaurant staff and customers. I quit the restaurant shortly after that happened, but luckily I have moved on from waiting tables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was in college, a truck full of angry men followed me and my friends around town one night, yelling things like, “I like them TATER TOTS!” and “What the fuck is wrong with you? I gave you a fucking compliment!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several years ago, I invited a man I was dating to come to my house. He was drunk and proceeded to aggressively try to paw at my roommate when she walked into the kitchen to say hello. I told him he was too drunk and needed to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started screaming, calling me a “crazy bitch.” Then he stood outside of my front door, screaming, “I’ll fucking kill you bitches!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did this until a passing stranger (who I guess was also drunk) took issue with all the screaming, attacked him and broke two of his ribs. The guy I was (no longer) dating later apologized, but he never really acknowledged how scary and awful his behavior was. Our mutual friends acted like nothing had happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A charming young EMT who I met at a rock concert invited me on a date. He bought me a nice dinner at Nopa. He kept pushing alcohol on me, and I was having so much fun that I didn’t keep good track of my intake. Somehow, he convinced me to come back to his house where he convinced me to smoke pot and do cocaine — things I would normally never do in the house of a stranger on a first date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He then pressured me for several hours to have sex with him. I was feeling really uncomfortable but too intoxicated to safely leave on my own. He kept saying, “Before you leave you’re gonna suck my dick.” To be honest, I was really scared of the guy. He was very big and muscular. Eventually I told him I was tired and wanted to go to bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In bed, he immediately jumped on me. I screamed, “Get the fuck off of me!” Then I ran out of his room. He called after me, “You’re fucking crazy.” I walked home through the Mission to where I was living in Hayes Valley alone at around 4 a.m. The experience really messed with me. To be honest, I believe it has affected my ability to be intimate with people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A longtime and dear friend of mine grabbed my crotch while supposedly giving me a back rub. I told him not to do that and he apologized. Then he grabbed my crotch again. I yelled at him loud enough that, had I continued, I would have woken his girlfriend who was asleep in the other room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He refused to acknowledge what he’d done and occasionally still texts me to ask how I’m doing — as if he doesn’t understand why I’m not talking to him. It’s too bad because we had some good times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>I didn’t report it because\u003c/em> I was never actually raped or physically injured.\u003c/strong> And the one case of workplace harassment was perpetrated by the owner of the company and in public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem>— Female, data scientist, 34, Oakland\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">I\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> was raped by the friend of a guy I was hooking up with when I was very drunk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was 20, he was 33. I didn’t find out about it until months later and then it clicked why my underwear was in his friend’s room. This man is a middle school history teacher carrying on about his day as normal. The guy who I had been hooking up with, 31, (who let his friend rape me) would also have anal sex with me when I was very drunk and I would wake up surprised to have a sore ass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happens more commonly to me occurs at concerts. Several forms of sexual harassment take place often. One common example is to have my butt or upper leg or the skin of my belly groped by a man as he walks by me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another is a man will come up behind me closely so that he is basically grinding on me, yet just far enough where I am doubting and questioning whether it’s intentional. This makes me uncomfortable and I cannot enjoy the concert when it’s happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I am dancing with another girl, I have several times had men googly-eyed forming a circle around us high-fiving each other and making us extremely uncomfortable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Street harassment of course happens to every girl. It makes me uncomfortable because I like to stand up for myself, but often feel it is unsafe to do so alone on a dark street so I am forced to keep it inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have been followed on my bus route home and now carry pepper spray inches from my right hand on my backpack. \u003cstrong>The fact that I am encouraged to arm myself against rogue men at all times is a truly disgraceful reflection of our society.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>I didn’t report it because of \u003c/em>self-blame and because women who report rape suffer even more and rarely do they see justice. Especially when alcohol is involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My life hasn’t been impacted by the rape specifically because I don’t remember it. My body has, however, stored the trauma in my ass, so I sometimes have a panic attack and start crying during anal sex with my current partner. We are working through it together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of sexual harassment at concerts, this affects me by making me feel closed off at concerts, like I can’t wear what I want or dance the way I want without inviting creepers. This happens at some concerts more than others, and the difference is so palpable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the men are being allies, it creates a safe space and it is clear that the women are having a much better time and feeling free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I haven’t heard much from the men’s side: how they are reacting to #MeToo and what they have noticed inside themselves.\u003c/strong> I want to hear what they are doing to make changes when they perpetrate rape culture and see it happening around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem>— Becca, 25, San Francisco\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"aligncenter noborder\">\n\u003ctable>\n\u003ctbody>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003ca href=\"#home\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11420594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/home_rectangle_blue.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\">\u003c/a>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003ca href=\"#public\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11420594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/PUBLIC_rectangle_green.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\">\u003c/a>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003ca href=\"#work\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11420594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/work_rectangle_purple.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\">\u003c/a>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003ca href=\"#outing\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11420594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/socialevent_rectangle_bluepurple.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\">\u003c/a>\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003c/tbody>\n\u003c/table>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003ch2 id=\"public\">\u003cstrong>It happened in public\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">I\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> have two stories I would like to share.\u003cbr>\nThe first was a physical assault, the second workplace harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was 25, I was a preschool teacher at a school in the Outer Mission. One night I was locking up the building by myself. As I was leaving and locking the front door from the street, (the door was in a little alcove), I was grabbed from behind by two men. One put his hands on me as if to hold me in place (I was so scared I didn’t move anyway). The other man put his hand under my coat and grabbed me between my legs. Full crotch grab. It only lasted 30 seconds or so, but it was enough time for me to feel completely vulnerable and at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they let go, they walked down Mission laughing. They were intoxicated. It was only 6:30 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I ran across the street and walked parallel to the men on the other side of the street. I was so angry and felt so violated. I wanted to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After about a block of shadowing them, I flagged down a passing cop car. I told them what happened and they had me sit in the back of the squad car. We followed the men and they ducked into a bar when they noticed they are being followed by the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cops go in and bring the two men out in cuffs. It takes 20 minutes for an interpreter to arrive after it is established that neither man speaks English and both are in this country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While waiting, one officer fills out a report with me. \u003cstrong>After we are done going over every little detail, the cop informs me that it would have been “better” if the man who grabbed me had made contact with my skin\u003c/strong>, as that would be an entirely different and more serious charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the report was filled out, I began my commute home for the night, case number in hand. I was told I would have to testify against the men and that someone would contact me “if the case went anywhere.” I never heard a single thing about this case and to this day have no idea what happened to the men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another experience I had was a very toxic work environment with rampant sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I worked shortly for a company that connected behavioral therapists with families with children on the autism spectrum. When I was in the interview process, some semi-inappropriate language was used. I didn’t think too much of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A friend of mine worked for the company and got me the interview. I was told by the hiring manager that my friend had put in a good word and had said that “I was cool” and “could hang,” on reference to the inappropriate comments. I was being tested to see if I would say anything. I guess I passed because I was hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company was very small and the employees were tight-knit. It was quickly clear that almost every person within the office (excluding my friend) had very inappropriate relationships with each other. Employees were sleeping together, constantly talking about their sex lives and making inappropriate sexual jokes about each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11635463\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"Kate,%2028,%20San%20Francisco\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11635463\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28358_skin_metoo_green_small_gradient-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kate, 28, San Francisco \u003ccite>(Miranda Leitsinger/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The jokes, stories and culture was spearheaded by the CEO.

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
