You Wanna Have a Kiki?

LOOKOUT's community newsletter on culture, events, and happenings!

Letter from the Editor


WHERE ARE WE KIKI-ING?

The "dating" app Grindr made a pitstop in Phoenix on Monday with their dedicated tour bus named "Bussy." The event gave away free subscriptions for the app as well as signed people up and educated them on PrEP (the HIV-prevention treatment) as well as Doxy-PEP, which reduces chances of catching some STI's by 70%.
