This is Russell - We were life-time partners - until HIV decided to end that. In honor of Worlds Aids Day, I want to share his picture, and put my "story" out there.
I miss him with all my heart and being. He was the love of my life. His was a wonderful life cut short by AIDS.
HIV is still powerful in this world of ours! We all need to do our part to end this.
Oh, this was scanned - originally taken with film! Remember film? ;-D

GREAT MEN WE LOST TO AIDS by Lydia Marcus
Today is the 20th Anniversary of World AIDS Day and I'm thinking of talented men who impacted, affected, inspired, and influenced me in my youth before they died from AIDS.
*VITO RUSSO (1946-1990) ACT UP AIDS activist and author of "The Celluloid Closet" - a book I always refer to as my queer film Bible.
In the mid 1980's, when trying to find queer representation on screen and on TV was like looking for a needle in a haystack, Vito's "Celluloid Closet" steered me towards a cinematic history I didn't know existed. I used to study it and then try to find the titles I wanted to see at the video store. Luckily for me growing up in L.A., the Video West chain was gay owned and operated and had a considerable amount of titles in stock when no regular outlet carried them. While I didn't realize it at the time, I was teaching myself to be a queer film historian and expert and eventually it led to my niche in entertainment journalism. I was lucky enough to get to see Vito's traveling show of "The Celluloid Closet" when I was just 16 or 17 when he came to the Wadsworth Theater at UCLA. Vito spoke and showed clips (many that I had never seen) showing gay images on film going back to the earliest days of celluloid.
Vito is also featured in the documentary "Common Threads: Stories From The Quilt" speaking about the loss of his lover Jeff Sevcik to AIDS, his own HIV + status, and ACT UP activism (he was a founding member). Later when I was a college student at CSUN, part of the AIDS quilt came to campus and I was able to request Vito's panel be brought to the school. Looking back now, Vito had only died a year or two before I saw the quilt.
There is a movie version of "The Celluloid Closet" that was made in 1996 but it pales in comparison to Vito's original book. While Vito didn't accept the crumbs that Hollywood gave to gay portrayls, the film version of "The Celluloid Closet" gave off the vibe of gays being grateful for any mainstream inclusion. Now in 2008, I think Vito would be proud of a film like "Milk," finally glorifying the achievements of gay rights activist Harvey Milk hitting the mainstream cineplexes.
*KEITH HARING (1958-1990) - artist extraordinaire.
I'm not an art historian, but I'm pretty sure that artist Keith Haring was one of the first and most prolific to use his art to fight AIDS (and apartheid) in a mainstream way. According the www.haring.com, "Haring was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988. In 1989, he established the Keith Haring Foundation, its mandate being to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children’s programs, and to expand the audience for Haring’s work through exhibitions, publications and the licensing of his images. Haring enlisted his imagery during the last years of his life to speak about his own illness and generate activism and awareness about AIDS." Keith's art was fun, accessible, and completely original. While Andy Warhol masterminded Pop Art in the 1960's and early 70's, Keith Haring took the torch and became THE Pop Artist of the 80's and my formative teen years. Keith Haring was out and proud and his art reflected his social activism and sexuality. The radiant baby and barking dog live on.
*CHRISTIAN FARROW aka CEE FARROW (dates unknown)
Cee Farrow was an early 80's new wave star with his hit "Should I Love You" while Christian was a major underground club promoter in L.A.'s gay club scene. My best friend Robert Pavlick got me my fake I.D. and then took me to all of the best clubs in the mid to late 80's so of course I eventually met Christian who was really at the top of the scene. He was one of the nicest people I've ever met. You didn't have to be a star to be treated with respect and friendliness at one of Christian's clubs. I remember the last time I saw him walking along Santa Monica Blvd in the middle of WEHO's boystown just crossing the street and making the rounds with everyone else. He was tall, good looking, down to earth and very sweet. One of the comments on the You Tube page for the "Should I Love You" video says it best, "Cee Farrow...gone to the great SoCal disco in the sky."
*TONY BECKETT (dates unknown)
I met Tony when I was around five years old. My Mom was very close friends with a gay couple (Bob and Charles) and we met Tony at one of their fabulous parties. Tony was British and a longtime Butler (or Major Domo) to Paul Lynde. When Paul was out of town, Tony would invite my Mom and I over to Paul's wonderful mini mansion in Beverly Hills. I would check out the closets (lots of caftans), go for a swim in his blue tiled pool, and just investigate the house filled with antiques, tchotchkes and interesting design including a guest bathroom that was completely mirrored from top to bottom and side to side. Tony had the cool disposition of a Brit, but he really had a gooey center that would show off in his devotion to me and my family. His actions spoke louder than words - like when he let me drive him around in his new car when I was just 15 and just had a learners permit. He was so supportive that way. As he got sick, he never wallowed or complained, I think he knew that he'd had a good life and good friends, and just accepted what was happening to him. Since he was infected in the early years of HIV, I think that the ATZ "cure" was probably worse on him than the actual illness. No matter what, you could always count on Tony for funny, tart stories about famous people that he'd met or worked with. When Tony was stuck living out the end of his life at an AIDS hospice, he gifted me with my first computer - his Radio Shack Tandy 2000 that had been put in storage when he got sick. Tony was a lot of fun, a wonderful cook, and a valuable friend to me and my family. While I do have images of Tony somewhere in a box of old photos, unfortunately I don't have one handy to share today.

Founded in 1988, World AIDS Day is commemorated on December 1st of every year. As one of the first established global health awareness days, World AIDS Day provides an opportunity for everyone, worldwide, to unite in the fight against HIV, support those who are living with HIV and pause in remembrance of those who have died from an HIV-related illness. World AIDS Day reminds everyone that HIV has not gone away, and of the continued need to increase awareness and improve education.
People who are incarcerated are five times more likely to be living with HIV than their peers who are not incarcerated. This vulnerability of this population is often overshadowed by social determinants that influence favorable HIV health outcomes, such as transportation, access to HIV specialty providers, health insurance and medications. However, this tide is beginning to shift, in part through the use of the correctional healthcare encounter as an opportunity to increase HIV awareness, provide education and improve HIV outcomes.
In each of our Corizon Health facilities, we have the potential to support the goals of World AIDS Day through direct care delivery or patient advocacy. For our patients, this support begins with the receiving screening and continues through parole or release from custody. Listed below are a few ways we may support the goals of World AIDS Day at each of our sites:
During each receiving screening, ask each patient if they know their HIV status, regardless of assumed risk. If they do not know their status, offer HIV testing following your site-specific policy/protocol.
If a patient is receiving HIV care in the community, obtain a Release of Information for treatment records prior to incarceration. This may include medication records, laboratory tests and provider treatment notes. Many patients may only have received care from emergency rooms, urgent care facilities or mobile homeless units. As such, be prepared to seek clarification on where prior care may have been received.
Follow-up with the provider immediately for missed/absent doses, as well as any delay in the receipt of non-formulary HIV medications. Medication adherence in the patient receiving HIV care is imperative, as poor medication adherence is the major cause of therapeutic failure.
Know what medications are classified as HIV medications (i.e., antiretrovirals). Some HIV medications may have food requirements prior to administration that improve tolerability and/or decrease side effects.
Ensure the patient is enrolled in the Chronic Care Clinic for HIV Care, with care monitored at a frequency appropriate for the patient’s condition.
Ensure there has been an appropriate linkage-to-care with a community agency prior to release from custody. Many jurisdictions allow patients to meet with a case worker from a community agency (i.e., health department) prior to release from the facility. These case workers may assist with provider appointments, medication procurement and other immediate social service needs at the time of release.
For almost 30 years, World AIDS Day has maintained a global impact by supporting those whose lives have been affected by HIV. For many, support may be shown by wearing a red ribbon for HIV awareness on December 1. However, for Corizon Health, we deliver care and provide this support all year round.
Ieri ero in giro col mio coinquilino nell'ora di attesa che ci separava dalla visione dell'ultimo Almodovar.
Andiamo da Ricordi per chiedere un'informazione e trovo questi due (anzi tre, i Ramones son doppi) cd in offerta speciale. Io credo ancora nella potenza di un cd in uno stereo con le casse che vibrano contro l'imperante shuffle dell'iPod, di cui pure io abuso, per cui ne approfitto.
Alla cassa, mentre pago, vedo una scatola cilindrica piena di cartoncini bianchi. Mi incuriosisco: sono preservativi sponsorizzati, gratuiti, in occasione del 1° dicembre. Chiedo alla commessa se possono prenderne uno.
"Quanti ne vuoi, li dobbiamo sbolognare".
Avrei voluto risponderle che i preservativi non si sbolognano così come niente fosse. Che sarebbero dovute esser loro, le commesse, a metterne uno in ogni sportina lucida col logo del negozio, raccomandandosi di usarlo e ricordando a tutti l'importanza del primo dicembre; così li avrebbero sbolognati in tempo e avrebbero fatto pure una buona azione.
Se si sbolognassero più preservativi possibili e si parlasse di sesso sicuro liberamente, le cifre di sieropositivi e malati di Aids non sarebbero così "carbonare" e sconvolgenti. Ad ogni primo dicembre i medici e i giornali ci aggiornano sulla gravità della situazione; il due dicembre già si pensa ad altro.
Così ne ho presi una manciatona, benedicendo le iniziative umanitarie, ho sorriso gentilmente e sono andata al cinema.
