Michael McColly became infected with HIV in 1995. Friends and doctors urged him to stay at home where he would run less risk of jeopardizing his health, but McColly could think of nothing he wanted to do more than travel. “Since my infection, I’ve traveled to Mexico twice, Europe, India, Asia and Africa, not to mention countless trips around the United States to commune with friends, family and nature,” he writes in an essay in Sunday’s New York Times. “Travel brings us back into the world, back into our bodies, and—quite literally for me—back to life.”
