A riveting, powerful telling of the story of the grassroots movement of
activists, many of them in a life-or-death struggle, who seized upon scientific
research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal
infection to a manageable disease. Ignored by public officials, religious
leaders, and the nation at large, and confronted with shame and hatred, this
small group of men and women chose to fight for their right to live by
educating themselves and demanding to become full partners in the race for
effective treatments. Around the globe, 16 million people are alive today
thanks to their efforts.
