Brandon Abernathy, 43, AIDS Activist Was "Messenger of Hope"November 19, 2001 Brandon Ross Abernathy, 43 of East Point, Ga., died Wednesday of complications from AIDS. Diagnosed in 1987, Abernathy began speaking out about AIDS and why the diagnosis is not a reason to stop living. With the AIDS Survival Project, he led workshops he called "The Emerging Survivors," addressing what it took to be longtime survivor. "He gave me courage and inspiration, and hundreds, probably thousands of people came to me and said my life changed because I got to listen to Brandon," said Joe Greenwood, a fellow group leader with the project.
