Given six months to live and being the fighter that I am, I set high goals for myself.
Rumors of sneezing, kissing, tears, sweat, and saliva spreading AIDS caused people to panic.
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.
Mayor Koch, of New York, was the first public figure to give me support.
A lot of my time was spent searching, thinking and planning my life.
My name is Ryan White. I am sixteen years old. I have hemophilia, and I have AIDS.
