note 191

I will not elaborate here on ideas about the presence of the virus as proven through medical technology. The actions and thinking of ACT UP have deconstructed medical technology in practice better than any theory could have done. I will not undertake a frivolous playing around with the presence and absence of the virus in a post-modern fashion for theory’s sake. ACT UP attacked the idea that when one is ill, one is outside society, and many contributors to the 0+Ball embodied this attitude and demonstrated it in their work.
