...Bostonian knew he was taking a chance when he visited a bathhouse for a homosexual tryst. It wasn't until the condom broke and he saw the blood that he blanched. Had he picked up HIV, the virus that causes AIDS? The next morning, he called his physician, Dr. Stephen Boswell of the Fenway Community Health Center, in a panic. Could the doctor please do something to help...
