Finesse Jenkins there were individuals getting sick in the early 1980s meaning that people initially got in infected in the mid/late 1970's (1974-1976).
Mr. M A J E S T I C XIII . Blackstruggle77 Well yes, but it is not wrong to say the “diseased surfaced in 1981.” It existed before that, but it was only officially known in 1981, and that is really when the figures were first calculated. If we want to get technical, HIV existed a century ago, possibly longer than that. However, we can’t expect people to avoid saying 1981 just because those ill or dead in 1981 most likely got it in the 1970s.
@@katvtay Well no, science doesn't know If AIDS actually existed a century ago. The ancestral virus did I think. But ancestral viruses don't cause AIDS. Something helped it to adapt to human tissue quickly, when it hadn't done so for at least 50,000 years. It appears that something new was happening in the mid-twentieth century just before AIDS arrived. Do you remember polio?
Care2 Think Science does know it existed a century ago. You “think” the ancestral virus did? Uh, no. SIV has been around for at least *32,000 years,* not 100 years. SIV crossed over to HIV multiple times in the 1910s at the latest, so about 100 years for HIV, and this was due to bushmeat practices. It is still unknown why it happened or if it was happening earlier. (SIV causes AIDS in chimpanzees and non-African marquees by the way.) What appears to have changed then is Africa’s changing way of life. What we do know is 1920 in Kinshasa is when the epidemic really got going, and Africa’s changing colonialism is to explain for this. The only role polio may have played in HIV in Africa is unsterile medical supplies being used in the mid-20th century to give people the vaccine. However, the actual polio vaccine in Africa containing HIV from tainted chimpanzees has been debunked. There is no credible evidence it happened.
I wouldn’t say it “surfaced” in 1981, I would say that doctors and physicians begin to take notice of the increased amount of otherwise healthy and young people were being treated for rare and uncommon conditions such as PCP pneumonia and increased need for Herpes medications and KS. Doctors in several cities and other countries had seen these symptoms and some people had already died before they realized these conditions were connected. Many doctors just assumed the swollen glands and lymphoma was a response to mono or another opportunistic infection the patient suffered from. They’d get sent home with antibiotics and soup, since AIDS had yet to be identified , they had no idea that these were signs of seroconversion. 1977 Danish doctor Grethe rask died with a confusing array of opportunistic infections and wasting .randy shilts said the last time most lgbt ppl remembered when all of their friends were healthy was the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration so since it has an incubation period of up to 10 years I would guess AIDS silently took hold in the US around 1971-1973
January 1986...Space Shuttle Challenger explodes. "How Will I Know" by Whitney Houston is the top song. Cosby Show and Moonlighting are the most popular shows. Scarfing down MCDLTs, drinking "New Coke" and playing Nintendo. America really loved escapism when AIDS was scaring everyone to death on the nightly news. Most of us chose to look the other way.
I feel like the gay man in this documentary was very nonchalant about this disease. Why did he not feel he was putting his sexual encounters or partners at risk? Even with protection, it was still a high chance of infecting his partners

In regards to Mr. Duncan Gwynns first statement, in 1986 I was a 14 year old gay teen. I took Mr. Gwynns advice. I don't know if Mr. Gwynn is still here, but I am still here because of people like him. It's so sad when you look up these people who were there at the beginning of the fight and you hope they managed to survive only to find out that they are not. Candles in the wind.
AIDS is still spreading ...its just not as horrific as it used to be . In fact, it not seeming so horrific is why its still spreading . The pill cocktails keeping HIVpositive people from developing full AIDS are themselves very hard on the organs .
In 1986 I was a 17 year old bisexual scared straight . Even though all of my sex partners were women I still used condoms fearing they may have had a boyfriend who was like me bisexual . I closed off an entire segment of my identity just to feel safe .
@@katkenobi6765 how callous and stupid. Maybe for your obituary "shit happens" will be appropriate, but not for her and these others. Take your miserable ass somewhere else for your attention.
Shoulda quit having multiple sex partners/injecting drugs. 🤷🏻♀️. This was common sense even before AIDS. Don’t be a disgusting pervert or don’t be a dirty drug addict. Saves ya from lots of shit.
Do you know how much money has been put into HIV/AIDS? There hasn’t been a vaccine or wide-spread cure because this virus is complicated as hell. It is easy to say, “they never want to find a cure, just treatments that people need to take for more decades because that’s more profitable,” but most researchers can’t be told what to do. If they found a cure, we’d know. Researchers would get more money and accolades if they did find a cure, rather than being a cog-in-the-wheel of big pharma. The truth is, there isn’t one yet because no virus has been cured, and HIV mutates too much for a vaccine thus far.
A cure that long ago would have been very unlikely, even with full-on research. Even in 2024, there is no cure or vaccine for AIDS, tho we do have some treatments in other forms.
@@jrawlins5246 Oh for pete sake. It was a joke. Back in the day, many people, including kids, did not fully understand the disease and/or were scared out of their wits from time to time over it.
80s were so awesome, cars, reporters, mentality, everything better and NORMAL. Covid doesn't kill almost anyone, while AIDS always kills and has horrific symptoms, this is what we have to focus on again!
COVID killed more people (Americans, at least) in 2 or 3 years than AIDS killed in all the decades of its existence. Less fatal (than AIDS *used to be)* but much more contagious. If COVID was mismanaged to the same extent as AIDS, no telling how many people would've died. And, as the last person said, AIDS *was* horribly mismanaged. First by completely neglecting the outbreak as a strictly "gay thing" and later, when this neglect came back to bite them, going into hysterics and destroying lives by trying to cut off victims from all contact under the obviously wrong assumption that casual contact would spread AIDS (and this frequently resulted in the victims losing the ability to pay for treatment). Really, the only thing consistent between their disinterest in AIDS and their extreme paranoia about AIDS is that both resulted in hostile behavior towards those suffering with it.
HIV infection isn't a death sentence anymore. Modern medications suppress the virus down to an undetectable level and allow an infected but otherwise healthy person to have a normal life expectancy.
What do you mean by 'normal', tho? There was not only the burgeoning AIDS epidemic, we also had lethal crack wars taking place in urban areas. The rich were getting richer, while the poor were getting poorer.
Amazing content, so interesting and important still, I was a child during the 80s/early 90s and I remember being terrified by the Tv Ads warning about Aids and to use condoms and needle exchanges, we had a lot of them on the Telly in the UK. That presenter reminds me of George w bush lol

Listening to some of these questions based on what we know now in 2021, seems somewhat comical. HOWEVER I understand what we didn’t know much at the time. Much like the COVID-19 pandemic we are living through right now. In 40 years from now we will know soo much more about COVID and look back on today 2021 and see how far we’ve come. Sadly we have a vaccine for this pandemic in less than a year but still not one for AIDS. But in fairness we have 400,000 people dead of this COVID pandemic in less than one year just here in the US alone so I get it.
The numbers of people who died of covid were INFLATED by CDC as it came out around December 2022. Whistleblowers were constantly saying so but big pharma peomoters spreading lies about covid didn't allow that info to come out. while a million die of aids EVERY year and nobody cares and then say questions stated in the 80s are now comical... why? that's just demeaning and uninformed and arrogant, 21st century is rubbish 99% of the time
And people are still promiscuous and disgusting............ if they catch it, that's on them. There's too much information and history on this disease to sleep on it, so, if people are, it's their funeral
Weird times then. And homosexuality is not a lifestyle. They just didn't really understand sexuality then and it wasn't even that long ago. Most people are bisexual, sexually fluid. Being gay is natural in humanity - not something you "practice," you just are...like I said really clinical, weird times the 20th century :/
Katie Kat I was thinking the same thing. Most people are heterosexual and are repulsed at the thought of having homosexual sex. It’s also true that being gay is natural. I wish people would just understand that sexuality is not black and white for everyone. It comes in all shades of gray if you will.
That was the name galo gave the virus until him and the French virologists (who called it LAV) decided to split credit for its discovery between the American and French scientists.
HTLV 3 was the name Gallo gave to the virus that causes AIDS! Strange fact: HTLV 3 was a name for a group of retroviruses that Gallo discovered in the lab.
Masks do not stop transmission of airborne viruses or blood born viruses. Masks are only used by surgeons to prevent their saliva from dropping into the open cavity of a patient during surgery. Anyone else who is using a mask is just not that intelligent. Let's call them the dumb ones.
Uh, yeah. It is reasonable to expect not to get killed just because one has sex that the magnificent Kim disapproves of. In practice, it was not necessarily a *realistic* expectation for the minority of victims who engaged with 100s over the course of their lives that they permanently avoid any serious illness, but this does not mean the same thing as them "earning" it. It did not justify in the slightest how the initial outbreak was neglected on account of people just not liking the victims. The only people who might've deserved AIDS were the lowlives who cheered for it. At least these were the people without which society would improve.

The numbers of people who died of covid were INFLATED by CDC as it came out around December 2022. Whistleblowers were constantly saying so but big pharma peomoters spreading lies about covid didn't allow that info to come out. while a million die of aids EVERY year and nobody cares and then say questions stated in the 80s are now comical... why? that's just demeaning and uninformed and arrogant, 21st century is rubbish 99% of the time
Hate to burst your bubble it's 2022 and still no cure!!!
You mean they couldn't just look into the future while they were making this and get it all right? Shocking.
And people are still promiscuous and disgusting............ if they catch it, that's on them. There's too much information and history on this disease to sleep on it, so, if people are, it's their funeral

Weird times then. And homosexuality is not a lifestyle. They just didn't really understand sexuality then and it wasn't even that long ago. Most people are bisexual, sexually fluid. Being gay is natural in humanity - not something you "practice," you just are...like I said really clinical, weird times the 20th century :/
Most people are not bisexual, but everything else you said is correct.
Katie Kat I was thinking the same thing. Most people are heterosexual and are repulsed at the thought of having homosexual sex. It’s also true that being gay is natural. I wish people would just understand that sexuality is not black and white for everyone. It comes in all shades of gray if you will.
I’m sorry history hurts your feelings.
Umm fake news. Most people are definitely not bisexual
I’m not bisexual & everyone I know is not bi sexual so you’re wrong

Wow, that's over $50 in today's money!
@@ThePeterDislikeShow 4.00 in 1986 equals about 10 bucks today.
@@jokerz7936 Read ShadowStats. The government fakes inflation numbers.
@@ThePeterDislikeShow I was alive then and I remember what a 20 got you and it's about what a 50 gets you now so 4 to 10 holds up to me.
Is Amy still alive?
No she died in 1987
She died in January 1987, roughly 1 year from the airing of this special.
That's so sad 😔 here she seemed to be fine and showed no signs of the disease
I kind of had the feeling that she died. I’m glad that her son is negative.
@@suzanneforgione1018 it's amazing that her husband was not infected!!!

htlv3 what is he taling about and the said the people who get the dose than realted to the route of the virus ,
That was the name galo gave the virus until him and the French virologists (who called it LAV) decided to split credit for its discovery between the American and French scientists.
HTLV 3 was the name Gallo gave to the virus that causes AIDS! Strange fact: HTLV 3 was a name for a group of retroviruses that Gallo discovered in the lab.
Why do we rely on POLLS? So unreliable. Such gossip. Where is the SCIENCE? REPORT ON SCIENCE. OR DO THEY THINK PEOPLE SHOULD REMAIN STUPID?

Age happens to the living. This was almost 40 years ffs. Peter Kennings is dead. Ted Koppel and Dan Rathers have showed their wear and tear as well.

Shouldn't they be wearing masks?
It's not passed through droplets so no...
Masks do not stop transmission of airborne viruses or blood born viruses.
Masks are only used by surgeons to prevent their saliva from dropping into the open cavity of a patient during surgery.
Anyone else who is using a mask is just not that intelligent. Let's call them the dumb ones.

VICTIMS ????
Yeah witch they were victims... no one deserves to die that way. Well I take that back witches like you do.
Uh, yeah. It is reasonable to expect not to get killed just because one has sex that the magnificent Kim disapproves of. In practice, it was not necessarily a *realistic* expectation for the minority of victims who engaged with 100s over the course of their lives that they permanently avoid any serious illness, but this does not mean the same thing as them "earning" it. It did not justify in the slightest how the initial outbreak was neglected on account of people just not liking the victims. The only people who might've deserved AIDS were the lowlives who cheered for it. At least these were the people without which society would improve.
