I was referred to as a grandee in New York magazine. " The Invention of Patient Zero How crystal-meth-fueled promiscuity, AIDS medical politics, and one very sick man combined to create a phantom superbug.

Maybe the 46-year-old New York man who had managed to avoid HIV for the life of the epidemic finally succumbed on Friday, October 22, 2004, when he failed to use even one condom during a weekend of crystal meth and multiple sexual encounters. Ordinarily, the New York man was sexually dominant, the penetrator. That changed on October 22. "Apparently he used Viagra, but when he didn't, he became a bottom," says Dennis deLeon, a grandee in AIDS politics who has been briefed on the case. "Crystal can make anybody a bottom. I've heard stories that even straight guys flip over on this stuff." My question is was this an insult?
