Mark King was diagnosed with HIV in 1985. Before a treatment was developed in the nineties, he saw many close friends succumb to the disease, all the while struggling with the reality of his own diagnosis and that it could take his life at any time. So what is it like at the beginning of the HIV pandemic, when little was known of the disease other than its devastating effects? What kind of social division did HIV lead to, both within the gay community and society at large? And how does the HIV stigma still manifest today? Mark shares his insights on HIV over the past 35 years of living with it.
