My pal Tim Murphy's piece for POZ magazine on people living with HIV -- Older and Wiser: People Who Have Lived With HIV/AIDS for 25 Years or More Are Battle-Scarred and Full of Survival Savvy -- is a must-read. Click HERE.
This cover story I just did for POZ, on people who have lived with HIV/AIDS for 25 years or longer, meant a lot to me. It's been heartening to see, in the past year or so, that there appears to be a kind of reckoning with the intense suffering and heroic fight these folks went through, one that so many of us have wanted to forget since the advent of effective medications. I hope we continue with this process of looking back and talking about what survivors went through and what they need now.
