A Coming-of-Age story for a Dutch man diagnosed with HIV and battling addiction.
In 2001 Sven found out in the most unceremonious way that he was
HIV+. Through the course of several years he had to not only deal with
this death sentence but battle his drug addiction as well. Sven kept a
journal during this time, writing about his trip to hell and back in a very frank and honest way.
Excerpt
Sorry, Not Dead Yet appears at first to be another “I was diagnosed with
HIV, I was a drug addict, my life went to hell, and look at how much better

Wrong—it is an everyman story about triumph over adversity, taking responsibility for one’s life, and learning to be. Righteous human being. Gut-wrenchingly honest and beautiful, this book should be given to anyone in the middle of a personal pity party. • Creative House Press (creativehousepress.com). —Review: Angel Curtis—
