Stephen Gendin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephen Gendin (February 20, 1966 – July 19, 2000) was a prominent AIDS activist, involved with ACT UP, ActUp/RI, Sex Panic!, Community Prescription Service, and POZ Magazine. Gendin was raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and attended Brown University, where he learned that he was HIV+ as a first-year student in 1985. He aggressively experimented with new medications for HIV and maintained a healthy and active lifestyle for many years, but did not survive treatment for AIDS-related lymphoma^[1] in the summer of 2000. Stephen's death was eulogized in a widely-reprinted speech by Larry Kramer^[2].
