Breaking Silence: Gay actor Michael Kearns said Monday he is infected with HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS. Appearing on NBC’s “A Closer Look” after the widow of actor Brad Davis, Kearns said he was inspired by Davis’ story to break silence about his own illness. Kearns is star of a one-man stage show titled “Intimacies.” In that show, now in Washington, he plays seven different people with AIDS. Kearns said he previously refused to answer questions about his health.
