Rumors of sneezing, kissing, tears, sweat, and saliva spreading AIDS caused people to panic.
A lot of my time was spent searching, thinking and planning my life.
Entertainers, athletes, and stars started giving me support.
Given six months to live and being the fighter that I am, I set high goals for myself.
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.
Eventually, I won the right to attend school, but the prejudice was still there.
