john,
     thanks for your reply.  i have also had a promise of a reply
  from dan f.  i guess what i want to know is how male/male
  couples resovle conflict.  how having diffenernt wants/needs are
  consturctively dealt with.  as opposed to grudgingly doint what
  the other wants or taking a basically unacceptable compromise ?
      have you any recent info on discordant couples ?  a friend
  is in the hospital with depression after his lover died of aids.
  he has repeatedly tested hiv negative, but has had lymphadnopathy
  for years even before they were together ?!  he says he was
  never ppai, but is/was heavy into french kissing.  i would like
  to give him some words of encouragement -other than "well, you
  haven't seroconverted yet."  any suggestions.  he is not elgible
  for most support groups around here.
                                        dangay
