Plus magazine delves into how Hollywood is finally shifting its attitudes around HIV — especially thanks to brave celebs like our cover star Alexandra Billings.

The actress, singer, and trans activist has been open about being a longterm survivor of HIV throughout her career, and details much of the pain and trauma she experienced at the epidemic's height in the 1980s and '90s in her new memoir, This Time for Me.
