I don't know if you know this about me, but I am hella afraid of diseases: specifically Herpes and HIV/AIDS. And this fear is crippling. I can't tell you just how crippling it is, because I don't want you to think I am crazy. But let's just say contracting these things is on my Top 5 Fears List.

I say that to say this: If I would have known that the event I went to the other night was at a gallary that was currently showing AIDS art from around the world, I probably would not have gone. However, the pieces were gripping. If the point was to inform...and scare...it totally did so.
