"When the rumors surfaced that I was HIV-positive, I thought, well,
someone's really bored today... let's make up a real juicy story....
Now, I'm not HIV-positive, but what if I were? I would be more afraid
of how society would treat me for having the disease than the actual
disease itself. If this is what I have to deal with for my involvement
in fighting the epidemic, then so be it. I'm not afraid to be
associated with people who are HIV-positive, and I am not afraid to
love people who are HIV-positive. Because their ordeal is more
important than mine, because their courage is larger than mine,
because what they're facing is real. And if we can learn to deal with
the real, and our fears, then I'm hopeful that we can conquer this
disease."
