Blanca reveals she has AIDS

>> All right.

All right.

Enough playing.

Enough playing around.

>> That's dirty.

>> I got to talk to y'all
about something serious.

Ricky, Daman, I was starting to hear that
y'all two were still having unprotected sex.

I thought all those funerals we've been going
to would scare you into being responsible.

But apparently, I need to take
some more direct actions out.

This is what's going to happen.

>> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

>> A cucumber?

>> Stop.

>> You are going to take some
proper condom applications.

Now, I recommend pre-lube when putting it on
so it doesn't break and during Penetration.

>> During penetration?

>> Remind me to skip the
salad for dinner tomorrow.

You hear what I'm saying?

>> Shut your mouths.

You think you're so special this thing is just
going to skip on over you, but you're not.

>> Tell them.

>> All right.

I'm going to tell you all the hard truth.

You boys are young, black, gay and poor.

This world despises you.

You get this disease, you die.

They feel relieved that you're
getting what you deserve.

And living in a world like that can
make you feel desperate for love.

Now, if you want to be healthy
and do it the healthy way,

you can do it like how our
community does by forming houses.

But it is much faster if you
do it in an unhealthy way.

And that's what I did back then
when I started in this world in '83

or so when none of us understood this plague.

I thought the only way to
find love was with my body.

So, I would go out to a club,
get a little drunk,

find me a man that would love me for a while.

And even in those moments when his arms
were around me, I believed he loved me.

We didn't know each other's names.

I just convinced myself that it
would feel like that forever.

But it didn't.

So I would find another and then another.

None of them ever even gave me their name.

I would completely debase myself for these men.

I just wanted love.

I just wanted to be somebody's precious thing.

What girl doesn't want that, you know?

Anyways, that happened a couple of years back.

And I stopped drinking and doing that.

But by then it was too late.

I had let those guys inside of me,
inside my heart, inside my body.

I wanted to please them.

I wanted to make them feel so good.

So I didn't use any condoms.

And now,

[ Music ]

And now, I got AIDS.

[ Music ]

Listen. I'm sorry.

And I didn't mean to hide it from y'all.

I just wanted to protect y'all.

And me telling the truth is
the only way I could do that.

[ Music ]

Now look at me, I am fine.

Y'all hear me?

[ Music ]

>> You were one brave woman, you know that?

You looked after me when no one else would.

And I promise I'm going to look after you.

All of us.

Not going to let a single
bad thing happen to you.

You get one little sniffle
and you come straight to me.

I'll do whatever it takes
to keep you healthy, huh?

I'll steal cold medicine for you.

I love you, Ma.

>> I love you too.

>> Listen.

I don't want none of y'all
to not love yourselves.

That was my problem, my mistake.

And sometimes it still is.

But no more, no more.

Which is why I'm going to fight this disease.

And in doing so, I'm going to fight for Eureka
Norman [assumed spelling] and get my salon back.
