“When Doug Green took his position as executive director for the nonprofit AIDS Care 12 years ago, one of the first things he did was visit a man who was being treated for AIDS at Ventura County Medical Center in Ventura.

“I remembered swallowing hard and thinking it scared me a bit,” Green recalled. “I went into the room, and there was this young, attractive Latino male in his late 20s. By the neat part in his hair and easy smile, I could tell he cared about himself and he came from people who took care of him. But there he was, struggling with his life.”"
