Losing a Friend to AIDS Review

This is a preety cookie-cutter story of infection. I wonder if our writer has, in the immortal words of Eminem, "seen that one movie 'KIDs.'" If not, she probably would like it and anything else by Larry Clark. I feel bad for her family friend but I am confused by the story of unprotected sex that begins the article. I actually wish we heard straight from the horse's mouth why anyone would have intercourse, unprotected or not, with someone who is HIV positive. Unless the reason is love, it seems like a mistake to me.
