DISH IS THREE YEARS YOUNG. Each month they serve up a feast of boys and beats, and for the third birthday in March they give thanks and praise to their
holy trinity: Borja, Tom and La Pequeña! Together with their apostles and choir of angels, the Dish family of DJs, hosts and gogos, Borja tells QX they ‘are one
family joined together by the power of love and beats’. “We are unique! We are colourful! We are unicorns! One nation under a groove,” Borja regales: “All are
welcome to join us in celebrating the sins of the flesh! Come one down and shake what your mama gave ya. Bow to the altar of Dish and find your heaven!”

You shall dance! And sing. Get
up and do your thing. You shall
embrace the creativity brought
to you by our expert team of
DJs and producers that create
music for you to have fun.
You shall have no attitude at
the door. This is not Berghain,
but if you are rude to our
lovely Janisha you ain’t partying
with us, bitch.
You shall not look “la
Pequeña” directly in the
eyes, unless you want to be
snogged. La Pequeña is our
resident goddess and holy
spirit. Show some respect
or you will end up a human
might like it.
Honor your DJs. No
requesting weird shit! I mean
just think about it – if you are
a stylist or a hairdresser or a
fashion designer, do you take
requests? We don’t either.

Remember the second Saturday of the month and keep
it free. Yes, Dish is every second Saturday of the month.
Mark it on your diary. You snooze you lose!
You shall covet the DISH go-gos. We know, it’s hard
not to. But no groping... or tea-bagging (we are looking
at you Tomino)
You shall not look at your phone. Bitch, please, the
hottest guys in London are dancing topless around
you and you need to look at your phone? Fuck off and
enjoy the moment. (However, we encourage the use of
Manhunt, our kind sponsor, during the week)
You shall not just dance in one room. Babe, there are
three rooms of fun, the dish of your dreams might just
like Marlyn Manson and is in the Tapass room reapplying
his “man”-scara! Broaden your horizons!
You shall not take pictures. What happens in Dish stays
in Dish! If you really want to pose and make the night
memorable, our resident photographer or the QX crew
will make sure you don’t end up looking like the little
girl from the Exorcist. Leave it to the professionals.
You shall not gatecrash your neighbor’s chill out. There
is always an after-party when the lights go on at 6am,
but wait kindly to be invited and don’t follow people
you don’t know expecting to be invited you creepy
stalker, have some dignity. That is all.

Dish 3rd Birthday is at East Bloc (217 City Road, Shoreditch, EC1V 1JN)
on Saturday 14th March, 10.30pm-6am.

All bets on PrEP
PROUD study reveals that PrEP can reduce the risk of HIV infection by 86%.
by Patrick Cash
he PROUD study
has been lead by
researchers at UCL and Public Health
England, in partnership with twelve NHS
trusts in England. They were looking
at whether daily HIV pre-exposure
prophylaxis (PrEP) given to men who
have sex with men was a reliable way to
prevent them from becoming infected if
exposed to the virus.
The pill used in the trial, Truvada,
is already widely prescribed to
people already infected with HIV. The
researchers highlighted that Men who
had sex with men (MSM) who took
part in the trial were at very high
risk of HIV and that PrEP is highly
effective in a real world setting. The
researchers concluded that PrEP offers
a major new opportunity to curb
newly acquired HIV infections in MSM
in the UK, of which there were an
estimated 2,800 in 2013.
‘To me, the results of the PrEP study
against HIV since antiretroviral therapy
became available,’ said Leigh Chislett,
Clinic Manager at Soho sexual health
clinic 56 Dean Street, an instrumental
part of the PROUD study. ‘At 56 Dean
Street and Dean Street Express alone
we are diagnosing 30-40 people a
month HIV positive.
and I could not be more happy about
some critics may say there was no
increase in STIs with people on the
study, so it would seem taking PrEP
does not change sexual behaviour. As
one patient on the study said: ‘Being
allowed me to have sex without fear.’’
London’s largest HIV charity, Positive
East, also welcomed the news.
‘This is really good news in our
battle against HIV,’ said the Director
of Positive East, Mark Santos. ‘HIV is
preventable and PrEP is a very welcome
addition to the prevention ‘toolbox’. It
won’t be the right choice for everyone
but we welcome all ways to prevent
HIV infection. We believe it should be
available for free on the NHS.
‘We know it is expensive but it is
much, much cheaper than the costs of
a lifetime of HIV treatment. Prevention
is always cheaper than a cure. In this
case much cheaper, as there is no
cure for HIV… We now want to see
the trial extended to other high-risk
groups, including the African and Afro-
Caribbean communities.’
The number of people living with
HIV in the UK is now at its highest
level ever with over 110,000 people
infected. It is estimated that 20% of
the people infected with HIV don’t
know they are carrying the virus.

PrEP can reduce
the risk of HIV
