How far would you go for a friend? Fifteen years of separation didn't stop Crystal from being there for Jalan. What Crystal did for Jalan will inspire us all to take a closer look at our own relationships and friendships.

Here's a brief EXCERPT from WET MATCHES....We're at a gas mart somewhere in Arkansas...Josie and Shelly enters...The lady behind the cash register looks somewhat puzzled as she eyes Shelly's uncombed purple hair and Josie's silver rings in her nostrils, lower lip and left eyebrow...The cashier speaks "That's the thing 'bout the Good Lord. He don't care what color your hair is or where you put your jewelry. He loves everybody."

Could you still laugh knowing that death was possibly lurking around the corner? Meet five teens (Shelly, Josie, Robbie, Cole and Micky)  who will make you think twice about your own life and possibly inspire you to live every moment to the fullest. *Note: All five teens in this triumphant-over-tragedy story are HIV positive.
