Frederick Garnett: Living with AIDS

Address delivered by Frederick Garnett, a black man living with AIDS, at the National Conference on AIDS in the Black Community, on July 18, 1986. Garnett discusses racial disparities in the AIDS epidemic in Washington, DC, where he lives. He says that although African Americans make up half of the people with AIDS (PWAs) in the city, they are largely absent from clinics and support groups. He also discusses his decision "to live with AIDS rather than to shrink from it."
