A graphic rendering (OK, OK, it's a comic-strip) guide to living with HIV and AIDS.

When I first got the diagnosis, I remember complaining to a fellow friends (also HIV+) "Why don't they hand you something when you get news like this?" A subsequent therapy session, general b.s..-ing with friends, a reminder I wasn't doing "How to build a sidewalk" brochures any longer, and soon, "HIV + Me" was evolved.

Special thanks go to many people including Marty McNeill, Charles Dickey, Liz England, Joe Greenwood, and in memory, Steve Warner, Art Prillaman, Loy McNeill, Brandon Abernathy, and Pedro Zamora, (the latter of which I never met but his spirit never left me.) And on a more recent note, I'd like to especially thank Judd Winick (Pedro and Me) who understands why I've kept doing this. And has unofficially promised to write the introduction of the book (whenever THAT may be...)
