The Men Who Want AIDS-and How It Improved Their Lives

For Fortner, the phenomenon of young men deliberately
contracting HIV is dispiriting but not surprising. "When
you're on the streets every day - winter, summer, spring,
and fall - and you find a way to have an apartment of your
own, it looks better," he says. His own experience is
instructive: Once his AIDS was diagnosed, he was
astonished at how much easier it was to live in New York
City. "Right now the rent for my apartment is $1,150, but
because I'm on the program I only pay $217, which leaves
me with about $400 a month," he says. "That's still a
struggle, but I feel gifted, because one way or another I
pull through."
