April Fool's Day is a 1993 novel by Australian author Bryce Courtenay. The book is a tribute to the author's son, Damon Courtenay, a haemophiliac who contracted HIV/AIDS through an infected blood transfusion. The title refers to the date of Damon's death, 1 April 1991 (April Fools' Day).
Damon was a classic haemophilliac all his life. He attempted to write this book himself but did not have much success. On his death bed, he asked his father to write it for him. Damon talked a lot about love; he believed it was important that everybody knew how to love. Evidence of this is his attitude towards people who treated people with AIDS unfairly. Not much was known about AIDS back then and sufferers were frowned upon. To quote his devoted partner Celeste, "Love is an energy, it cannot be created nor destroyed. It simply is. Giving meaning to life and direction to goodness."

这个题材，据说 平常的心 The Normal Heart (2014) 也很好
The Normal Heart, set during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, is the impassioned indictment of a society that allowed the plague to happen, a moving denunciation of the ignorance and fear that helped kill an entire generation. It has been produced and taught all over the world. Its companion play, The Destiny of Me, is the stirring story of an AIDS activist forced to put his life in the hands of the very doctor he has been denouncing.

1981年，艾滋作为一种前所未见的免疫系统缺陷疾病在纽约出现。由于它集中发生在男同性恋当中，所以在当时又被称为“同志病”。内德（马克·鲁弗洛 Mark Ruffalo 饰）是一个激进的同志作家，当他看着朋友纷纷死去以及政府的不作为时，义愤填膺的他发起了男同健康危机组织， 呼吁政府和社会公众对这场即将爆发的大瘟疫给予重视。半身瘫痪的女医生艾玛（朱莉娅·罗伯茨 Julia Roberts 饰）是少数从一开始就高度警惕艾滋疫情的的医护人员，也是内德重要的异性恋盟友。在运动中内德认识了纽约时报记者菲尼克斯（马修·波莫 Matt Bomer 饰），两人陷入如火如荼的热恋。然而菲尼克斯最终也被确诊感染，悲痛的内德惟有爱人和事业两线作战。健康危机组织的主席布鲁斯（泰勒·克奇 Taylor Kitsch 饰）虽然是内德最好的朋友，然而深柜的他行事风格与好斗的内德截然相反。执行董事汤米（吉姆·帕森斯 Jim Parsons 饰）一直试图平衡两人，却无法消弭越来越大的分歧，一场决裂迫在眉睫。而此刻已是艾滋在美国蔓延的第四个年头......
HBO电视电影《平常的心》改编自托尼奖同名戏剧，作者拉里·克莱默亲身经历了80年代的艾滋风暴，他以自己为原型，将纽约同性恋人群以及艾滋病人的生活和感悟写进剧本。电影不但描绘了早期艾滋运动的真实和复杂面貌，而且呈现了同志争取权益的曲折与必要性。无论身处怎样的时代和环境，去爱、去追求爱都应该与生俱来的权利
