After developing open blisters during practice, Castellano's hands were exposed to the Charles River water. Soon thereafter, Castellano was diagnosed with a potentially lethal staph infection in his blood. Castellano explained that the coaches of the crew team remind the rowers often to clean their hands and sterilize the blisters because of the potentially dangerous water and, further, that he did not follow the coach's directions.

There are HIV-positive men who talk about having put their feelings on hold from the day they first tested positive. Some even hid behind the virus as a lethal scare tactic, a way to fend off attachments with friends and family that they weren't sure they could handle. (One more paradox of the epidemic: even the Jolly Roger can be a flag of convenience.)
