Book excerpt: This addition to the B-Boy Blues series about the developing love of Raheim Rivers and Mitchell Crawford shows how their relationship is tested by the specter of AIDS. Ribers' complacency is shattered when he learns that his idol Eazy-E has AIDS. Rivers gets tested and the narrative concerns the long waiting period until he learns his test result - a period when his own fear and the stigma of the disease push him towards conflicting decisions.
