Celia Farber is a prominent AIDS-denialist. There are others, but why list them here? That recitation of names would only serve to conjure up a stench of fecal fermentation.

An intricate tale of 'medicine, monopoly and malice,' Fire in the Blood tells the story of how Western pharmaceutical companies and governments blocked access to low-cost AIDS drugs for the countries of the global south in the years after 1996 -- causing ten million or more unnecessary deaths -- and the improbable group of people who decided to fight back.

I suppose what I'm saying is: allow me some latitude. I should add that I do not plan on posting many longish essays such as this in the future. Shorter pieces, mostly: better for me (I think) and better for you (I hope).

Oh, alright: I don't wish my nutrition to come either through a needle in my veins or with leftovers being stuffed up my butt. But the culinary arts do rank low in my estimation.

Adverbs: terribly fond of them. Baritone: voice type. Constitutional law: a minor obsession. Dolphins: sometimes I want to be one.

October 11 had a different valence for me this year: less than two months ago (55 days ago but who's counting?) I came out "officially" -- to the world at large and on the World Wide Web -- as being HIV-positive. Since I was not a contestant on Project Runway (rooting for you, Mondo!) I used a different technological medium: I said what I needed through a status update on Facebook.

First words. Some self-introducing to do - which, for me anyway, is usually an awkward business. Hulloos. I'm Jay Vithalani, the newest "kid" on the POZ blog block. I'm 37-years-old (will be 38 next month). I'm a gay man. I'm a graduate student in the humanities - trust me, you don't want to know in what specific field, at least not yet. And I've been HIV-positive for just over five years now.
