U.S.: A teen injected with HIV (by his dad!) as a baby defies the odds

  • I expect to break the barriers between what people think this virus is, and what it really is. I hope to eliminate a lot of ignorance and change people’s minds.
  • Brryan Jackson • On redefining what AIDS is to the average person. Jackson is graduating high school today, but he was not expected to live nearly this long. The 18-year-old went through a harrowing experience as a baby: His father, Brian Stewart, who initially denied paternity, did not want to pay child support and worked in a hospital where he pulled blood from patients, injected his then-11-month-old son with HIV-tainted blood. Which is why he’s currently serving life in prison. Jackson’s done well, considering what his dad did to him. • source
