hollow bore needle stick and laceration and converted to HIV =20
positive. =93I had suddenly transitioned from an HIV specialist =20
physician who provides care to an HIV-positive person who would =20
eventually need care,=94 he told an interviewer for the Oberlin Alumni =20=
Magazine. =93My experience has provided me with a unique and privileged =20=
view of the pandemic from both sides of the examination table. It =20
allows me to personally address this illness with the experience and =20
mind of an HIV physician specialist, but with the eyes, heart, and =20
soul of an HIV patient.=94
Frascino retired from his medical practice in 1996 to =20
concentrate his efforts on AIDS awareness, fund raising, and =20
teaching. Also in 1996, he returned to giving classical piano =20
concerts, having studied piano at the Conservatory while at Oberlin. =20
A series of fundraising concerts to benefit AIDS service =20
organizations, called A Concerted Effort, evolved into the Robert =20
James Frascino AIDS Foundation. A resident of Los Altos, California, =20
Frascino is the founder of two medical clinics devoted to the =20
comprehensive and compassionate care of people living with HIV/AIDS. =20
With Dr. Natterstad, also an HIV/AIDS physician specialist and =20
