“Living with AIDS is like living in wartime, only in the twilight zone. A majority of your fellow citizens don’t seem to realize there’s a war going on, don’t hear the bombs dropping, the shells whizzing past your head, don’t have to step over the dead bodies of friends and loved ones.” -Michael Callen
