AIDS and Teens

Almost similar to real-life Ryan White's case, this novel deals with a teenaged suburban boy who caught AIDS infection from a blood transfusion received as a result of an auto accident just months before testing blood supplies became available(and mandatory) in March,1985. The controversy that happens after the fictional character's positive HIV status becomes known is just as real as that of real-life AIDS carries in the 1980's, especially since FDA blood screening became available.
