Raul, 25, of East Los Angeles, learned he had the AIDS virus two months ago, after a sore throat sent him to a doctor. Like so many others who discover that they are HIV-positive at the earliest stages, Raul found it hard to believe he could have a life-threatening disease and still feel so healthy.
