AIDS/LifeCycle is made up of so many heroes, but we have to admit, we're thrilled that we get to highlight some of our own within Team Instinct!

Yesterday, we heard from Prop. 8 plaintiff Paul Katami, who's fighting for our civil rights alongside his partner, Jeff Zarrillo.

Today, we want to bring your attention to Team Instinct member, Dave O'Brien. Not only is this his second year-in-a-row participating in AIDS/LifeCycle, Dave (a talented writer/director) also works to increase HIV prevention, awareness, and education in his daily life, via the webseries In The Moment and various other activist projects.

He's also tracking his progress on the ALC trail via video clips!

More after the jump!

Here's a video Dave posted last night as he gears up to take on "the Evil Twins" today! (Those are hills, folks. Get your mind out of the gutter.)

You can find more of Dave's AIDS/LifeCycle vids, here.

As for Dave's aforementioned HIV/AIDS prevention work, take a look at his long-running webseries, In The Moment. Sponsored by the LA Gay & Lesbian Center and the City of West Hollywood, the sexy soap tackles the issues that we deal with in our community, from crystal meth use and anti-gay bullying, to relationships, infidelity, and HIV and other STD's.

We like to think of it as Melrose Place with a message.

Check out a recent episode (and stick around for the sexy-strip tease survey with hottie, Nicco Sky)!

For more In The Moment, head here.

We could go on for hours about Dave's contributions to the causes that are close to our hearts. He's directed campaigns for AIDS Healthcare Foundation ("This is Me: Raw") and various other organizations, and is a consistent advocate that does work that hugely benefits our community.

And he's hot.

We're so proud to have him on Team Instinct
