ABSTRACT
I am an HIV-positive Chicano gay man from Simi Valley, California. By looking at me you may not be able to see any of these things. You will also not be able to tell that I am college-educated, a videomaker, and scared to death of my own culture. For the last several years I have grown comfortable with my gay identity, I have marched on the streets, go-go danced in bars and wept at the death of people I respected who died from AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). So now I am also an AIDS activist. Fulltime.
