Fans of the rock band Styx will easily recognize Chuck Panozzo, the legendary bass player for this iconic group. For these fans and more, it was quite a surprise when he announced in 2001 that he had been diagnosed with HIV. He also admitted that he was gay. He continues to survive, thrive, and perform at the age of 67. Panozzo is a role model to others who have been diagnosed with this disease, helping them realize that they can still live a full and productive life, thanks to the attention he and other celebrities have brought to the HIV fight.
