Venus at home
Hospital corridor
Venus naming off her medicines and how many of each she takes every day and when. It's dizzying. If you become infected with HIV/AIDS, and you are lucky enough to obtain the medicines at a cost of thousands of dollars per month, your life is fully regimented around the schedule of your cocktail. Side effects range from disorientation to diarrhea.
If you become infected, you will spend an inordinate amount of your free time in hospitals, clinics, human services offices, and pharmacies. Expect to spend $2000 to $5000 on this lifestyle. Not including rent.
