6 In the company of men: gay culture and HIV in Aotearoa New Zealand
-
Michael Stevens
Abstract
This piece is written as an autoethnographic memoir and study of how it has been and is to live as an HIV-positive gay man from Aotearoa New Zealand across a time of great cultural change. It is a reflection through a sociological and historical lens of how the personal side of my life as a gay man intersects with wider cultural, political and health-related themes.
