A good friend of mine, Moisés Agosto Rosario, has just published his first book (in Spanish), about living with HIV.  You can find it at Amazon.com by using this link:

Here's a little review, in Spanish, and then a rough translation into English:

Review
Moisés Agosto-Rosario ha creado en estos nocturnos todo un universo narrativo de la supervivencia en la era que le sigue a la pandemia del VIH/SIDA. Son estos los relatos del desamparo de narradores sobrevivientes, que nos cuentan de su vida erótica, desde sus inicios pueriles hasta las grandes relaciones que han marcado sus vidas. Se hace inevitable la disyuntiva del exilio que se vive en Estados Unidos, y esa mirada oblicua, desde fuera, de la realidad isleña. Al leer esta narrativa hay que seguir los consejos de uno de sus personajes: entregarse "al ritual de la fiesta persignándonos como buenos niños católicos listos para pecar". --Daniel Torres, Crítico Literario

Translation:

Moisés Agosto Rosario has created in these nocturnals a whole narrative universe of survival in the era that follows the HIV/AIDS pandemic. These are the stories of abandonment from narrators that survived, who tell us of their erotic life, from the their puerile beginnings to the great relationships that have marked their lives. The dilemma of exile that is lived in the United States becomes inevitable and that oblique glance, from outside of the island's reality. When reading this narrative it is necessary to follow the advice of one of its characters: to give itself “to the ritual of the party, making the sign of the cross over like good catholic children ready to sin.”
