Today whether you&#8217;re straight or gay, we take the concept of safe-sex for granted. But 20 years ago, it was a controversial topic, both inside and outside the gay community. Five years ago Berkowitz told his story in a book called Stayin&#8217; Alive: The Invention of Safe Sex. Today his story has been captured in a new, multiple award winning documentary called Sex Positive, showing at this year&#8217;s Outfest. <\/p>\n<p>Sex Positive is screening on Tuesday July 14th at 9:30 pm at the Director&#8217;s Guild of America Theater, 7920 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles.
