From the looks of it, some gay dudes are giving women AIDS and everyone is dying. One dude is even about to bone a chick when he gets the call that he is infected (of course, that's what I assume happened since he looked less than happy and she couldn't get out of there fast enough...). The film really just attempts to show the contemptible degeneracy of the ultra-sleazy gay lifestyle of the mid-80s through porn and drug addiction causing the spread of disease.
In that regard, "I Am with AIDS" obviously comes across as very dated and laughably bizarre. At times, I couldn't help but question whether this was meant to be taken seriously or not, but considering the year it was made, I can only assume that it was definitely meant to spread some outrage. I just wish I could've followed along with the dialog and interviews, cuz I'm sure it would've made this flick even more of a hoot as people are writhing in their AIDS scabs and puking their guts out. Pretty strange, sleazy film...
