The only one I can think of is Three Junes by Julia Glass, in which one of the characters has AIDS. I'm writing a creative story on the disease, and I need some inspiration.

I can suggest two books that I think are excellent on the subject of Aids because they are about real people who had it and what those individuals went thru. One is a book called "Thing of Beauty: the tragedy of supermodel Gia", By Stephen Fried. Gia was a famous model who had the world at her feet, then ended up losing it all when she became addicted to drugs and as a result contracted Aids. This story is brutal and unflinching. The second book is a book that was co-written. One of the Authors was Ryan White (the young man from Indiana who died of Aids in the 90's when he contracted the disease from a blood transfusion). The title of the book is Ryan White: My Own Story. It gives you a good idea of all of the complications and problems brought on by Aids. It's also very inspiring. Good luck in your search.

Tony Kushner wrote a play called _Angels in America_ that's also been published as a book and made into a miniseries. It contains sort of mature content because it deals specifically with homosexuality and is not exactly happy-inspirational because it's loosely based on actual Reagan-era (1980s) people and events, but you might like it nonetheless.

I would add the non-fiction book "And the Band Played On" which was also made into a movie. The book tells the story of the early years of the AIDS crisis.

Take a look at the writings of Paul Monette, who wrote very movingly about his personal experiences with it.
