Winstone Zulu, a longtime Zambian activist, and I have been working together since 2009. Winstone was the first publicly HIV-positive person in Zambia, and has been commended by Nelson Mandela for his work. A few days ago, when he was sick, we hatched a plan to write a blog post together for POZ. You can read the post at http://blogs.poz.com/aidspolicyproject/
It's a long post because both of us talk, but it's interesting because Winstone, who gets around on crutches (and used to use a wheelchair), paints a picture of his daily life as he struggles as a longterm survivor who is living a life a bit like someone with AIDS in the US in, say, 1990. Winstone is a brave and brilliantly articulate person literally on the front lines of this pandemic in so many ways. He also has a great sense of humor and he's tough and strategic. So it is fun to work with him. Check out the blog post and see what you think.
