In the wake of the UNAIDS report on HIV, and on World AIDS Day, a thought struck me; as a consequence of the place and the milieu I grew up in, my images of HIV, although full of fear and strength and beauty, were highly specialised. Public information adverts with subtitles and icebergs. Derek Jarman tending his garden. Adam Mars-Jones and his monopolies of loss. Red Hot and Blue. It took a while for me to realise that it was happening all over.

It's a funny thing. Do you remember when you realised that the way you had sex was going to be constitutionally different to the way that your parents had sex, in ways other than the obvious or icky? tell me.
