hospitalized, said he began paying strict attention to his body.
"If my body says it's hungry, I hungry."
"If my body says it's tired, I have to stop and rest."
"I just got over a cold that didn't seem to want to quit. People with AIDS can get the flu. We can get bronchitis. We can get colds and get over them. But every time you do get something like that, you have to ask yourself, 'Is this the beginning of the end?'
"No matter how you try to prepare, it's still disconcerting when it comes up, and it's frightening. I think it inimical," she said, that accompanies having AIDS."
Justesen said that for him, loneliness and isolation were the hardest effects to endure. He said he would like friends now held him at a distance.
"I was excommunicated from my church a month ago, which hit rather hard," he said.
"There's one very good friend of mine who had nothing to do with me for a year. I saw him in September. . . and some of the friendship was salvaged. But he couldn't deal with his own mortality."
Because AIDS has been found mainly in homosexual and bisexual men, contracting it may mean a second "coming out" for some people.
"In addition to having AIDS, there's the disclosure of the unsesen test." Sometimes that makes more difficult than the illness itself.
John, a Wyandotte County man with AIDS-related complex, who asked that his last name not be used, said he was trying to summon the courage to tell his father about his illness.
"I told my brother," he said. "He was one of the first ones I blabbed to, and his response was one that helped me shut up. He just flippantly said,
'Well, when you play, you've got to pay,'
Much of the isolation comes from fear, said Justenzo, who is one of the co-founders of the Kansas AIDS Network, an organization that seeks to educate Kansans about AIDS.
"I think where the real fear has come up, the FRAIDS — fear regarding acquired immune deficiency syndrome — has been among people who just don't understand the communicability of the disease," he said. "There are so many ungrounded fears."
AIDS is transmitted primarily through sexual contact or through blood from a person with AIDS.
Chien-Liu, a physician in the department of infectious diseases at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan., said the virus that is thought to cause AIDS had been found in saliva and tears, but the amounts probably were too small to infect someone.
"There is no evidence that friendly, casual contact is transmitting the disease." Liu said.
Jeff said that some unexpected changes in his values have occurred since his illness was diagnosed. Recent financial problems upset him greatly, he said.
John, who hasn't told his employer that he has ARC, said, "There's no way I can spread it to co-workers. I'm putting them in no danger. If I thought I was, I'd quit."
"It's interesting to me that I would get so upset over money and how important money is to me," he said.
"The financial situation seems real gross to me because I've had to borrow money. My middle-class identity is shaken.
"I also sometimes think, 'If I'm going to die anyway, why waste the money?' I think the chance that I can stay alive until there is some drug that'll help is very slim.
"But who knows? Maybe I can."

"We have become aware that there are people who have not contacted us to formally register, but they are having Watches on their own," he said.
Five or six Watches were conducted in Lawrence homes, the volunteer said.
"We expect more contributions to come in than those who are registered."
"They portrayed AIDS in a way it should be done," he said. "They kept saying AIDS was not a gay disease. I think it was presented in the right way."
The volunteer said he thought the movie was realistic.
Leading Edge Model D: High Power, Low Price
CANTON, MA—In a move designed to break through the price barrier of the IBM compatible PC world, Leading Edge Hardware Products Inc. has announced the introduction of the Model D PC.
The Model D is more than the equivalent of a $3000 IBM PC. It provides integrated support for both RGB color and high resolution monochrome displays. In addition, graphica support is provided for the more popular business programs on the standard hi-res monochrome monitor. This is a feature not provided for IBM's text only monochrome system. The user can also expand the system to its full 640K memory capacity by simply adding chips to the system board. This allows lower cost memory expansion while conserving valuable expansion slots; the Model D has four slots, all available to the user.
vides no loss of system functionality-indeed an increase of functionality - in a package that requires 28% less desk space than most competitive systems - all at a price of just $1495.
In essence, the Model D pro-
The base Model D includes a clean high resolution monitor, 256K, 2 disk drives, parallel and serial ports and a clockcalendar. The keyboard addresses IBM-user complaints with typewriter layout and exra large return and shift keys. The system comes with a full warranty. Add to this Leading Quality assurance quality support and service, and Model D may be the premier IBM compatible PC on the market.
Computer Outlet, 804 New Hampshire, Lawrence, is the first dealer of the Model D in Kansas. Bill Killough of Computer Outlet says that, "Price and Performance will make this the hottest selling micro in 1985."
