I'm all engrossed in reading and searching. Mostly, at the moment, I am trying to objectively read AIDS Heresy and the New Bishops, which Napalm linked to in his entry. As I mentioned before, this is an emotional topic for me, so I'm taking it slow. I don't doubt some of what's being said - the media and the pharmaceuticals industry are no panoply of angels - but I'm at odds with being dismissive of the danger of AIDS, particularly to people who could most likely get it, and therefore need most to avoid it.

Anyway, I'm not done with it yet. I did finish that piece on the first 20 years, and found it informative and different, particularly as it's written from a UK perspective.

Meantime, here's Swing Low, Sweet Chariot: African American Spirituals and the Crisis of AIDS, a film at PlanetOut.
