After his critically-acclaimed one-man, off-Broadway show, Swimming With the Polar Bears, garnered attention from an former White House occupant, actor Mel England went on to star in a string of indie hits including Ron and Laura Take Back America, Little Big Top, Highlights, Archeology of a Woman, and Persona Au Gratin. In our exclusive interview, the actor talks about coming full circle with his new gay midlife crisis flick, Best Day Ever, and what it’s like to be one of the only HIV-positive actors out in Hollywood. In the same issue, our Just Diagnosed feature answers dozens of the most pressing questions our readers have asked us about living with HIV. In our special Back to Work section, we look at best places to work, employee programs helping poz workers stay on the job, what Levi’s is doing right, and how to fight discrimination based on your HIV status. Plus: New Hep C treatments, why you could be at risk for oral cancer, new scientific discovery that’s luring HIV to its death, and the story of how one serodiscordant couple used treatment as prevention to have a child without transmitting HIV.
