ABOUT TEN MONTHS LATER, Wayne called me because something was weighing heavily on his mind.

“I’m feeling fatigued these days, Clay. And I have these sores inside my mouth and a rash on my skin.”

“Have you been to a doctor?”

“If I have something I don’t want to know about it. Let me drop down and die if I have to.”

“But what if you could get help?”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a long time. “I had sex with that exotic dancer at Jake’s bachelor party.” The admission did not surprise me. “I didn’t use a condom, man.”

“No, Wayne.”

“Pretty dumb for a university graduate, huh?”

Way stupid. “I guess you were carried away in the moment.” I was not prepared for what he said next.

“I met her on the other days I was there and we had sex every time. I didn’t use a condom then either.” It was my turn to remain quiet. “Sex with Ayanna was not like anything I ever had, Clay. It was like she was filling a void that my girlfriend leaves. You know what I mean?”

“Yeah,” I lied. Wayne was behaving like a village ram, wanting to hit every nanny in sight and now he had hit one too many.

We talked past midnight and once he had to excuse himself to vomit. “I’m doing that a lot too,” he said.

“You have to get tested, Wayne.”

“I couldn’t live with the shame.”

“What is there to be ashamed of? You had sex. Lots of people have sex.”

“But AIDS can kill you.”

“So can cancer, but there are always marches being organized for cancer research. Man, AIDS is another fatal disease.”

We talked some more and I encouraged him to pray. I promised him that I would be praying for him too. He ended the conversation with a statement that chilled me.

“The good thing is that now I can do whatever I want to do and not be afraid of the consequences. I’m going to die anyway.” He quickly hung up.
