Day Six of the Atlanta gay film festival was on November 11th, exactly two months after you know what.
I first saw Undetectable: The New Faces of AIDS. Jay Corcoran was in attendance. Anyone who thinks the AIDS crises is over or that AIDS is cured, needs to see this film. Corcoran filmed 6 Boston area people with HIV including David Brudroy, a radio talk show host. The people included males, females, gays, straights, black, hispanic and white. Four contracted the virus through sexual activity and two through drug use/sex. One was a white, middle class, surburban housewife who contracted the virus from her unfaithful husband. A real cross-section.
Most were in relatively good health but a couple of them including Brudroy were in poor health when all started using the AIDS "cocktail".
At the beginning of the film, all were responding well to the therapy and Brudroy actually recovered his health remarkably.
By the end of the film, one was dead, one was near dead and the other four were doing O.K. but having to adhere to a harrowing daily regime of drugs with some very nasty side-effects.
