Meet the Cuban Punks Who Infected Themselves with HIV in Protest
Published by Vice January 31, 2017
VICE meets a few surviving members of Los Frikis, a Cuban punk movement, who purposely infected themselves with HIV in the early 90s. The punks used this method as a way to get sent to government-sanctioned sanatoriums where they
were given better resources than they had on the streets.
