http://www.thebody.com/content/blogrss/king/art48955.html Mark S. King has been an active AIDS activist, writer and community organization leader since the early 1980s in Los Angeles. He has been an outspoken advocate for prevention education and for issues important to those living with HIV. http://www.thebody.com/content/blogrss/king/art49542.html Years ago I worked as director of an agency for people living with HIV/AIDS, and although the work was satisfying, I was irritated with one principle of the agency: "You don't know what it's like if you are not HIV positive."

Watch the blog and find out! http://www.thebody.com/content/blogrss/king/art49371.html Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:01:58 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/blogrss/king/art48879.html This is one of those weeks when my diseases -- HIV and addiction -- take a back seat to "real life" and the pleasures it can provide. Although, like a noisy passenger, sometimes the back seat is just as intrusive. http://www.thebody.com/content/blogrss/king/art48879.html Thu, 2 Oct 2008 16:17:19 GMT http://www.thebody.com/content/blogrss/king/art48647.html I'm tempted to begin with "I'm Mark, and I'm a drug addict," because so much of my life is caught up in repairing the damage of many years of addiction. http://www.thebody.com/content/blogrss/king/art48647.html Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:17:19 GMT
