Oral history interview with Luigi Ferrer, conducted by Dan Royles for the Miami AIDS Memorials Project. Ferrer, a long-term HIV survivor and public health educator currently with the Miami-Dade County Health Department, discusses his early life in Puerto Rico and South Florida, his discovery of gay community life in Key West and Fort Lauderdale in the late 1970s, and his introduction to the AIDS epidemic through the illness and death of his first partner, David Bellin, in 1985. He describes his own HIV diagnosis in the late 1980s and subsequent work as Executive Director of Body Positive Resource Center, where he helped launch HIV case management, the POPP (Prevention Outreach by Positive People) speaker program (hiring Pedro Zamora as its first educator) and co-wrote the first HIV case manager training manual and test counselor curriculum in Miami-Dade County. Ferrer traces his activism through the South Florida Bisexual Network and BiNet USA, his work with the Safer Sex Sluts, and his involvement with ACT UP Miami. He reflects on the transformative impact of protease inhibitors on his own health and the broader community, his subsequent career at American Preferred Prescriptions and CVS ProCare managing the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, and his current work at the health department navigating HIV prevention under restrictive Florida legislation. The interview closes with reflections on AIDS Survivor Syndrome, the importance of community, and the legacy of colleagues including James Pruit, Mitch Weissner, and Miguel Chinchilla.
