Abstract
This is a book about the history, present, and future of the cultural production of AIDS. It takes the form of thirteen short conversations between two AIDS activists, Alex and Ted, whom you will get to know more as you go along. The book focuses on what we call the Times of AIDS. All this talk is inspired by our longtime AIDS activism and is initiated by looking at related cultural production: objects like AIDS activist videos; events like protests; spaces like AIDS memorials; ideas we have learned from within and outside our community; and through our own memories and hopes. Our book relies on conversation as a method that helps us better understand AIDS, ourselves, others, history, and more; this, so we can work together to help improve the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS and respect the memory of those who have died and struggled. It is a book that invites you to join in this conversation, art, and action.
