The Harold Scott Story: Remembering and Documenting an Activist, Educator, 35-year HIV/AIDS Survivor

Harold Scott has survived more than thirty-five years living HIV+ and has dedicated his life to HIV/AIDS education and activism by telling his own story. A gay man who grew up in the rural southern US, Harold had no concept of homosexuality until his twenties and contracted HIV/AIDS from his first gay experience. Since the early 1990s, Harold’s personal storytelling has impacted and instructed others about this ongoing epidemic in a heartfelt way made more profound by his simple delivery and sheer perseverance. Harold’s remarkable longevity and resilience contrasts sharply with the early history of AIDS as a death sentence.
