I never had much faith in numbers, that was my
father’s job, or used to be, before he forgot that too.
But ever since becoming HIV positive back in the dark
ages, I can’t help feeling this figure: 8,000 people per
day become positive. That’s a lot of difficult conversations.
The question that haunted movie makers
for the past three decades is simply this:
Is there a picture I could make that might help 8,000 people
from opening the wrong door?
After queer orgs led the way with safe sexy ads,
national health boards and even MTV started
funding AIDS mini-movies that are still broadcast in
all but a dozen countries around the world.
It wasn’t just “Ultimate Car Dance Moves” anymore.
The many pictures and stories about AIDS had
produced a new form of invisibility. What combination
of pictures could turn AIDS into a question that can be
heard again? If I were a TV channel, these would be
my top twenty-six, an alphabet of response.
26. The Panic’s Over
voice-over: Everybody knows that AIDS and HIV were started by monkeys. That the disease was carried to the west by air stewards and that minority groups are especially at risk, such as left-handed people, vegetarians and the elderly. People with AIDS are easy to recognize. They have boils and birthmarks on the face, minor injuries to the hands or arms, and they babble incoherently. Despite the dwindling numbers of AIDS victims you must still protect yourself. Never kiss an AIDS or HIV victim. Or shake hands with them. Never share a cigarette and ignore them in social situations. But don’t panic. HIV and AIDS are a thing of the past. Nobody gets infected these days. And most people have forgotten about it.

My friend Julian died in 2013 of HIV. He was just 36 years old. I never thought that I would lose someone around my same age from this disease. We as a community owe it to ourselves to change the way the conversation is on HIV. To take the stigma away.

1. Dreams of Belonging
Last night I dreamt
I lived in the part of the world
where the future had already arrived.
In this future
each of us can have the body we want
so we’ll all choose the same ones.
Our sexual desires
our likes and dislikes
will appear projected on our bodies
for everyone to see.
Our computers teach us
how to turn our insides out.
We’re a permanent display
a living picture
transparent and available
parts of the network, the archive
always at the same party
performing a history of styles.
