ABOUT THE SHOW Imagine wanting to fight for the freedoms our very country relies on and then finding out you are HIV positive and being told you can no longer serve our country. HIV in the military is a hot topic these days and we want to ask our guest some very personal questions about what he thinks can be done to better support our men and woman who serve in the military who may be living with HIV. This is one show you won't want to miss!! We will be waging a war on HIV discrimination in the military. ABOUT OUR GUEST Mark Benton is a Long-term survivor of HIV/AIDS. He has been positive for over 29 years. He is an outspoken LGBT activist in the Memphis, Tennessee area. Mark was diagnosed HIV+ during his service in the Air Force in 1987. He is currently a contributing Journalist for Focus Mid-South Magazine. He recently wrote in Focus about his experience of being Gay and being diagnosed positive while serving and the subsequent hostile and compassionate forces that led to his medical discharge after serving 6 years in the military during the early years of the epidemic. Mark’s story also encompasses his difficult years after being diagnosed and the challenges he faced.
