Joe Brown contracted HIV from his partner, who was the first-known person to die of AIDS in Tarrant County. Brown said he was unaware at the time that his partner had been unfaithful.

Brown, a professor of theater at Texas Wesleyan University, has talked with many of his students about living with HIV for the last 24 years.

Brown said awareness of the disease is crucial to college-age people.

About 10,000 people in the university's own county are living with HIV, and half of the newly infected are 15- to 24-year-olds, said Bob Ray Sanders, who will moderate a discussion on the issue today.

Future accountants should take notice: they no longer get the mulligan the university offers through its course-retake policy.

The university's current retake policy allows a student to try as many times as they please to improve their grade in any course.
