Mortal Men : Living With Asymptomatic HIV

Rating:
Summary: Powerful, provocative, and beautifully written!
Review: MacIntrye shares poignant stories of love and loss and reminds us that we all need "someone to stand witness to our lives". His message is powerful because of his conviction in "the power of an n of one". He reminds us that our individuality is our most precious gift. MacIntyre may shock you with his occasionally brutally frank accounts of the gay life and culture in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 70s and 80s. As a nurse and an educator, I am continually reminded of my responsibility to honor the patient's right to choose and my responsibility to assist patients to make informed choices. MacIntyre never allows us to lose sight of those important responsibilities.
