DAY MARCH 6
HIV, Mon
Amour
by Andrew Miller
uncan and I were deep in
conversation when my eyes
drifted over to the cute red-haired
boy wearing a leather jacket. No
uncommon occurrences so far.
He was facing away from me, sitting at the
table where the football players had been.
But it was the back of his jacket I was staring
at. In fine AIDS-activist, radical-mod
fashion, he had affixed a huge sticker to the
leather, right between the shoulder blades.
But far beyond the standard pink-and-black
silence/violence fare, this manifesto was
unlike anything I had ever read before.
The sticker, printed with its first three
words enlarged and overlayed on the smaller,
black-and-white text, began, “Male/Positive/
29.”
“The last one dumped me for a pretty
negative,” the text continued. “Although he
was accepting of my status, he said there
wasn’t enough passion in our relationship. I
agreed: It’s hard to feel passion when your
partner’s afraid to kiss."
