Description:
Audrey Barnett interviews Kirsti Lattu over Zoom. Kirsti starts by discussing how and when she first learned about HIV, especially when people in her friend group became infected. She then started getting involved in HIV/AIDS activism, especially as a member of OUT! (Oppression Under Target). Kirsti emphasizes the community-centered focus of OUT!, both in the organization's activism and between its members. She also describes a few specific OUT! action events in which she took part. Kirsti then explains how her time with OUT! has continued to shape her life and activism and what her life in DC as a queer person was like in the late 1980s.
