Today on Your Call: How far have we come with HIV/AIDS activism?

On today's Your Call we’ll have a conversation with Sean Strub, author of Body Count: A Memoir of Politics, Sex, AIDS, and Survival. What can we learn from the first wave of HIV/AIDS activism in the US?  What’s the divide between the different communities who’ve been hit by this disease?  And where do we go from here?  Join the conversation on the next Your Call with Rose Aguilar and You.

Guests:

Sean Strub, long-time gay rights and AIDS activist, author of Body Counts: A Memoir of Politics, Sex, AIDS, and Survival
