Relax is a black and white film about the anxiety a gay man faces between the time that he takes an HIV test and the day that he gets his results. The images that flash through his mind include the erotic and the absurd, one night stands, cruising, suffocating inside a full body condom, and simulated anal intercourse with a motor oil. The only splashes of color are images of red corpuscles racing through clear veins as seen under a microscope.
Overall, an effective image of the anxiety that used to arise back in the day when test results took ten days and a positive result meant that one could only watch one's diet and wait for other symptoms to arise.
