With his trademark humor, frank honesty, and poignant insights, Mark takes his audience on a personal journey that dates back to 1985 in his presentation entitled, “The HIV Time Machine.” As he says, “I’m an HIV positive gay man in recovery from drug addiction. What’s not to love?”

King is an award-winning blogger, author, speaker, and HIV/AIDS activist who has been involved in HIV causes since testing positive in 1985. King was named the 2020 LGBTQ Journalist of the Year by the National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association (NLGJA) and his blog, “My Fabulous Disease,” won the 2020 GLAAD Award for Outstanding Blog after five consecutive nominations. He was named one of 2020’s “OUT100” by OUT Magazine.
