- Living with AIDS: 1986 - Kevin Brown (BCPWA) talks with Laurrier LaPierre about what it is like to live as a person with AIDS in BC, at a time when medications for the condition were not legally available and there was no viral testing laboratory.
I was 4 & 5 years old when I lost 2 brothers to AIDS (one in 1989 at 25 years old and another in 1990 at 24 years old; both in San Francisco). I was just a child, but I recall it being a tremendously somber time for my family. To this day, I am deeply saddened that this little bro never got to know his 2 big bros. I wish I could have because over the years I've learned that they both were wonderful human beings.
Sorry to hear that
So sorry for your loss. Your brothers and you are in my prayers
Did your parents ever talk to you about risk behaviors
It’s incredible now to watch Kevin and see his positivity and determination shine through, in the face of terrible adversity. It’s so sad that he succumbed to the disease..as it is for EVERY person who has died with it.
So very sad. We lost so many good, smart and honorable people to AIDS. But it was those people who had AIDS in the 1980s and early '90s who fought, protested and disrupted the governments and drug companies until the modern drugs were discovered/invented. Millions are alive today because of their brave actions.
CrocDoc1 you can credit all those members of Act Up for that..those people are hero's
CAPELLASAMPIERE-- Agreed!
This is just heartbreaking. The pain and suffering these people went through in the 80’s is so sad. Rest In Peace to you all.
Tough brave guy to speak out.Should never be a case of money,they are all human beings.
So sad 😞 R.I.P Kevin and to all of those whom perished to this awful disease.
When did he die?
@@jackbrown4120 In 1989 (it says at the very end in the rolling credits).
R.I.P. Kevin Brown
Poor men RIP, he was very strong and survived three additionnal years with very few CD4, he probbly had access to AZT or Retrovir but it was only able to slow the disease
RIP Kevin
Say what u want about the interviewer he was still willing to do the interview in a time when sound crews refused to mic people with HIV Also is he German .? Germans often come off crass even when they are neutral. He. Seemed genuine and spoke soft on the hard questions.
I agree.. I don’t think he meant any harm.
The host is Québécois French Canadian
He was French Canadian, il est mort maintenant. These Canukes still have to be watched just like Germans have to be... The presenter came out as gay in 1989!
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Sad that Kevin Brown's life and many other people living with this terrible disease AIDS succumbed to the infection before slow treatment development began to emerged during the mid 1990's.
He appears cool and brave
He fellow Canadians Dennis Coi , Rob McCall and Brian Pockar passed away from complications Of A.I.D S.
RIP Kevin
Such a shame they would not release these drugs to at least try .b.s really ....meanwhile people are dying without even trying to see if they would do any good .RIP Kevin
Rip
This guy sounds real
💖
Wow how sad for anyone living in Canada during these times
It was no better in the US. The first drugs were partially funded with public money for chemo purposes, but quickly the for-profit gougers reclassed them it was unaffordable for the majority.
And America
But isn’t cancer is a lifestyle disease? (Smoking etc).
No.
But unless you're born with a genetical disorder everything is a lifestyle disease... breathing (smog), stress, eating, sex - let's take care but we've gotta live before we die
@Adrian Heath cancer can be caused by a number of factions, hereditary, polution, diet working environment etc
Cancer is psychological disease..in my opinion..unhealed inner trauma and stress.
Your silly
Where any fish hurt..,, ???😀
The interviewer is a fool, and a crass one at that.
I don't understand how he is comparing AIDS to Cancer. An innocent child can be diagnosed with Cancer. Some Cancers are from lifestyle (ex. lung) but some are genetic.
Has anyone noticed the books in the background look like the gay flag.
The interviewer is so hard and rough in his speech
I was 12 when i heard about this 1982...little in 81...crazy time's...i tell my boy's always use condoms because aids/hiv is still here...and leave them fast azz girls alone.lol
Men spread it more than women 🙄🙄😡 women need to leave your fast ass sons alone
@@nikicarrie4071 it's been three years 'BPD'.....
Even the so-called slow girls can be HIV-infected.
Still, they should use condoms and dispose of their used condoms properly by tying them closed and throwing them in their portable garbage can they bring with them after sexual contact because the specter of an unwanted pregnancy is also there.
The host lacks humanity.
He doesn't lack humanity at all he's speaking to him like a normal person, not a dying person which is what they want.
