"Do you ever wonder if the ever do, find a cure, people would go back to sleeping around?"

~Fuzzy~

"Who Cares, you know?"

~Willy~

"It's just a question."

~Fuzzy~

"I know.  I know, but - I'm sorry.  I just think that... whether people do or don't sleep around or what they do, it's just not the point.  I'm sick of hearing people pontificate about it.  Except us."

~Willy~

"Except us, exactly."

~Lisa~

"I just wanna be there... if they ever do find a cure."

~Willy~

"Can you imagine what it'd be like?"

~Fuzzy~

"Like end of World War II."

Plot

Longtime Companion chronicles the first years of the AIDS epidemic as seen through its impact on several gay men and the straight female sister of one of them. The film is split into several sections identified by dates.

July 3, 1981

Willy (Campbell Scott) a personal trainer, and his friend John (Dermot Mulroney) are spending time with affluent gay couple David (Bruce Davison) and Sean (Mark Lamos) at their beach house on Fire Island for the 4th of July. Sean is a screenwriter for the popular daytime soap opera Other People and David comes from a blue blood background and has a large trust fund. Back in the city, Howard (Patrick Cassidy) is preparing to audition for Sean's soap. His boyfriend is Paul (John Dossett) a business executive and their next-door neighbor is Lisa (Parker), whose brother Fuzzy (Stephen Caffrey), is a lawyer who represents Howard.

That morning, The New York Times publishes its first article about the rise of a new "gay cancer." The news spreads as friends call each other. Some are immediately concerned, others dismissive. Willy meets Fuzzy at a tea dance later in the afternoon and they begin a relationship. Howard lands the role.

HIV POS ON STEROIDS?

Got my second restraining order against me today.  This time by the gay couple living on the lot next to mine.

Couldn't help but be surprised at learning how old that 'PATHOLOGICAL LYING USELESS GREEN ACRE FAGGOT' Charles Bliss is. Being borned March 28th, 1952 that makes him 10 years older than me borned January 14th, 1962.

Man that guy's fit for his age!

Can't help but wonder if HIV positive on steroids like so many gay men living in cities like Atlanta and the other gay ghettos of United States and the world?

Compared to the beginnings of the AIDS crisis, infected gay men are living longer/having so much more fun, looking healthier than before infected due to prescription anabolic steroids others not infected having to buy on the black market if wanting to keep up appearances...

raising the bar for steroids use again.
