Two titles on one video.

These poignant films tell the stories of two Asian Pacific Americans, one straight and one gay: Robyn Tirrell, a resident of Hawai’i and Vince Crisostomo, a native of Guam and resident of San Francisco. Both have lost loved ones to AIDS. In two films, they have chosen to disclose their own HIV positive status to remedy the lack of information and denial about AIDS in their communities. With courage, determination and a sense of urgency, they and their families and friends step out of their private lives to publicly challenge the myth that Asian Americans do not get AIDS.
