Carly Shapiro struggled to go "g-free," but found a way to make her diet accommodate her lifestyle

Carly Shapiro felt sick. Again.

She knew she shouldn’t have eaten that bagel, but it had looked so good! Her friends had suggested Bruegger’s for breakfast—what else was she supposed to eat there?

Now, though, the nausea hit with full force. Doubled over in pain, she ran to the bathroom.

Shapiro knew she would have to see the doctor again. She knew he would probably confirm her fears and issue the ultimatum she had dreaded for eight years.

Health educator Scott Fried delivers a frank talk on sexual relationships and protecting yourself from HIV/AIDS.

“I need you all to stay awake. If you fall asleep you’ll really miss out on something great.”

Perched on the edge of the Goldstein Auditorium stage Wednesday night, Scott Fried began his talk to 250 Syracuse University students with that opening line. 

Fried was infected with HIV in 1987. The national public speaker and health educator has made it his mission for the past 18 years to help others protect themselves from the disease.
