Jonathan Swain's Life with AIDS

NPR's Michele Norris talks with Robert Sanchez of The Rocky Mountain News and Jonathan Swain, a 21-year-old man who contracted AIDS as a child. Sanchez learned about Jonathan while doing a story on education, and traced him to Utah. Swain discusses how he lived with AIDS his whole life. He now is married, and is expecting a child of his own.
