Conclusion. 330 $aInner-city Sydney was the epicenter of gay life in the Southern hemisphere in the 1970s and early 1980s. Gay men moved from across Australasia to find liberation in the city's vibrant community networks; and when HIV and AIDS devastated those networks, they grieved, suffered, and survived in ways that have often been left out of the historical record. This book excavates the intimate lives and memories of HIV-positive gay men in Sydney, focusing on the critical years between 1982 and 1996, when HIV went from being a terrifying unidentified disease to a chronic condition that could be managed with antiretroviral medication. Using oral histories and archival research, Cheryl Ware offers a sensitive, moving exploration of how HIV-positive gay men navigated issues around disclosure, health, sex, grief, death, and survival. HIV Survivors in Sydney reveals how gay men dealt with the virus both within and outside of support networks, and how they remember these experiences nearly threedecades later. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Oral History,$x2731-5681 606 $aOral history 606 $aAustralasia 606 $aHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aEthnology 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aOral History 606 $aAustralian History 606 $aSocial History 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aHistory of Medicine 615 0$aOral history. 615 0$aAustralasia. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 14$aOral History. 615 24$aAustralian History. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 676 $a306.7662 676 $a306.7662099441 700 $aWare$b Cheryl$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226122 801 0$bCKB 801 2$bNTSM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483488703321 996 $aHIV Survivors in Sydney$92846795 997 $aUNINA
