Context

This diary was one of a number of artistic responses to HIV/AIDS in Australia at a time when medications that could prolong and enhance the quality of life of those living with HIV had not been developed.[3] David Tosh died on 3 May 1990 aged 30 years.[4][5] In 1990 Australia experienced 2381 cases of AIDS as reported by the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research.[6] 97% of these cases were male and the survival rate was only 40%.[7]
