AIDS

"I have a vague but specific memory of being 5 or 6 and seeing some program about AIDS on tv, I don't know if it was a show or documentary or what, but a group of teenagers were going around sharing their misconceptions about the disease... In tears, I ran to my parents and asked 'am I gonna get AIDS"

"this article is simply incredible. such irresponsible journalism. maybe love isn't just about pursuing your own pleasures unimpeded? maybe it concerns a community and the health of people you claim to care about? maybe ask the AIDS survivors who lost their life partners what it means to them ?"

"I grew up when AIDS was still a fairly new thing. I was in elementary school in the early 90s when pieces of the AIDS quilt stopped by our elementary school"
