The Photo that brought AIDS home
Sorry if this is a repeat. What an amazing and poignant photo essay. We have come a long way in 20 years.

3. I somehow knew that was the photo you were talking about.
I rec everyone else to the series of photos in the article. The family cared for their sons spouse until his death as well.

4. Looked at the first few
can't look at anymore. I remember them and I remember by brother, who looked much like this man, looking just like that for a month before his death. I hope these photos help those who do not understand how important it is that we get the needed drugs to those suffering. It is also important that the many who have no one who will care for them find caretakers.

This always bears repeating, over and over until we find a cure. Thank you, I just can't go there.
