Positive

An uplifting story of resilience and activism, the memoir of David Menadue, one of the longest surviving people with AIDS in Australia.

Description

An account of a special life fearlessly told, as well as a chronicle of an era.

In the 1980s, HIV and AIDS meant one thing - death. In 1984, David Menadue was one of the first people to be diagnosed with HIV in Australia. He was just 30 years old and thought it unlikely he would make it to 40. He turned 50 in 2002 and has been living with AIDS for longer than almost anyone else in Australia.

Positive is about many things: Melbourne history, the distress experienced as the gay community was decimated, and desire. But it is also a story about optimism and the ability to take things day by day. It is about continuing to live when everyone around you expects you to die.
