Try to Kill Me: The Confessions of HIV is not your average medical book. It's part biography, part horror, and part unholy confession — but not from a person. From the virus itself. In this daring, original narrative, HIV is given a voice — mocking, unapologetic, and terrifyingly honest. It speaks of its rise, its victims, the politics that fed it, and the ignorance that let it spread. From blood transfusions and bathhouses to silence and stigma, this is the story that textbooks were too clean to tell. James Davis doesn't sugarcoat the science or the suffering. He dives headfirst into the cruelty of how HIV swept through families, classrooms, and entire communities — and how heroes like Ryan White stood tall in the shadow of it.
