this was an easy read that gave a small amount of insight into living with hiv. not as much as i might have expected, but some. he actually made it sound like maybe you don't need meds or can live for a good while without them (although at less than 100% energy, etc) which probably isn't the right message. he was saying, though, that taking the meds and all the concurrent blood tests wasn't something he was up for. i do think, though, that a lot has changed even since he wrote this; there's a pill a day and better protection for both he and his wife.

anyway, this was an easy read that was surprisingly light (although i wouldn't say it was funny) considering the topic. i suspect that the presentations that he and his wife do about living with hiv is probably pretty fantastic. i think this book probably outlived its relevance and meant more and was more meaningful when it was written. he and his wife do great work and i'm glad that he's still healthy and out there doing it.

Clear-eyed and wryly hilarious. Decker is an HIV hemophiliac, or as he prefers, a positoid thinblood. This memoir is charming and accessible, decorated with almost enough photos. The tone is just exactly right, and Decker never misses a laugh or an opportunity to educate. A delight.
