Eventually, I won the right to attend school, but the prejudice was still there.

This brought on the news media, TV crews, interviews, and numerous public appearances.

The desire to move into a bigger house, to avoid living AIDS daily, and a dream to be accepted by a community and school, became possible and a reality with a movie about my life, The Ryan White Story.

Because of the lack of education on AIDS, discrimination, fear, panic, and lies surrounded me.

My studies are important to me. I made the honor role just recently, with 2 A's and 2 B's.

Twice a week I would receive injections or IV's of Factor VIII which clotted the blood and then broke it down.

My name is Ryan White. I am sixteen years old. I have hemophilia, and I have AIDS.
