I Had To Learn How To Function As A Human Being. And I Really Enjoyed That Process.

If People Are Encouraged To Come Out And Say They're Hiv-positive And They're Given Their Treatments, Then Obviously, The People Who Are Marginalized - Like Intravenous Drug Users, Prisoners, People Are Made To Feel Less-than - If They're Given The Support Of The Government, And They're Given The Funding, Then It's Going To Help Solve The Spread Of Aids And Hiv In America.

They're [[harmaceuticals Companies] Just Making A Killing Out Of People's Death. And They're Benefiting By People's Suffering. And I Find That Obscene.

I Was So Outraged About It That I Contacted The Family. We Became Friends. I Helped Them Move To Another Place In Indiana. And We Became Constant Friends.
