...watch yourself so closely," says Frank Folino, a legal secretary who has seen many of his friends in Chicago die of AIDS. "If you find a little spot that may just be a bruise, or if you get a cold, you wonder: Is this it?" For gay men, it is not just a question they ask themselves. For most of them, even that large conservative percentage that never enjoyed fast-track, promiscuous sex, it is the overriding issue of their lives.

After closing down one particularly offensive club, Civic Activist Frank Phelps, 65, said that even though many sex-prone businesses remained in his area, residents could "live with what we've got." The remaining joints, said Phelps, "don't have the hideous signs up, and they don't advertise, and they are down near the freeway, away from the residential area." Translation...
