Bérenger September 1970 - March 1995
December 1st comes back each year like a riptide. World AIDS Day. For most people, a reminder. For me, a face.
Bérenger was born in 1970. We grew up as brother and sister. He died in March 1995, at twenty-four, in a world where treatments were still only promises. The disease took him before AZT for everyone, before stabilized dual therapies, before the triple therapy that would change the course of lives.
