I had a partner die of cancer - with AIDS as a secondary cause. It was not pretty and he basically gave up - Was AIDS the cause? Not really - but may have contributed. I will say that Hospice was wonderful and that visiting nurses helped with Ryan White money funding 24 hour care. While I miss him, I must say, that his family was no help at all! All they wanted to do was to visit him (even in a coma) and have children with them (I stopped that as he had asked that he not be a circus show!).

Mr. McDonald has written a powerful confession that should be a cautionary tale for those born in the aftermath of the die-off & the false security of this "medical cocktail era". Of course, one of the problems in the gay community as well as other high-risk communities is a belief that the disease is no longer a monster or, more frightening, that it doesn't exist any longer. The silver lining is that the latest generation of gay youth are out and proud and will hopefully rise to wipe out AIDS.

Thank you for this wonderful and inspiring witness of your experience,strength and hope. Living with hiv/AIDS is a daily struggle for me. This is the kind of encouragement my soul needs.
