Inner-city Sydney was the epicenter of gay life in the Southern
hemisphere in the 1970s and early 1980s. Gay men moved from across
Australasia to find liberation in the city's vibrant community
networks; and when HIV and AIDS devastated those networks, they
grieved, suffered, and survived in ways that have often been left
out of the historical record. This book excavates the intimate
lives and memories of HIV-positive gay men in Sydney, focusing on
the critical years between 1982 and 1996, when HIV went from being
a terrifying unidentified disease to a chronic condition that could
be managed with antiretroviral medication. Using oral histories and
archival research, Cheryl Ware offers a sensitive, moving
exploration of how HIV-positive gay men navigated issues around
disclosure, health, sex, grief, death, and survival. HIV Survivors
in Sydney reveals how gay men dealt with the virus both within and
outside of support networks, and how they remember these
experiences nearly three decades later.
