All who judge this as the wrath of God, please go read your own bible. Pride is a sin. On top of that, you are not meant to judge, that is God’s job. You’re an arrogant hypocrite if you not only think, but then mash your fingers on your keyboard telling anyone who will listen that AIDS is the wrath of God. How arrogant of you to assume you know what God does or doesn’t do.
In the summer of 1979 I was living in Southern California. I read a little blurb of an article either in the LA Times or a local gay publication about 3 gay men in San Francisco who had a rare disease called Karposi Sarcoma. The article just noted the rarity of three people getting the disease in the same timeframe. Never though much about it at the the time but they would be the first cases of what became known as GRID then AIDS. In the early 2000s I was speaking with a cousin of a friend of mine. She worked in epidemiology for the city of San Francisco's health department in the early 1980s. She told us all the first cases of AIDS, the patients had participated in the hepatitis vaccine trials of the mid to late 70s. That's very rarely spoken.
You have been much more to me than just a doctor. You have been my therapist,supporter, friend,well wishers and angel in disguise.Thank you so much Dr emuakhe for all you've done for me,you totally restored back my health.................
Remember it well, felt sorry for the homosexual community, that said, they should have been safer and used protection when they were told to not spread it in the early 80s.
The idea of using "protection" to avoid transmitting STDs was largely a reaction to the AIDS outbreak. Condoms were mostly used to avoid childbirth, and their use was becoming increasingly rare with the introduction of the pill. It was largely some gay guys who came up with the idea of "safe sex" as used for this purpose. Gay organizations were promoting the practice, but, being gay organizations, they were met with obstacles as they went about trying to educate people. For example, the GMHC was denied office space by every landlord they approached, "safe sex" educational material was censored in public places, and congress made a law that forbade public funds going towards any educational campaign that could be interpreted as so much as tacitly condoning same-sex relationships. "Safe-sex" campaigns, by acknowledging the existence of same-sex couples yet failing to condemn them, fell into the category of "condoning." It wasn't as if everyone else knew about using protection but gay people just felt that wasn't enough fun. It was up to gay people and their supporters to come up with a solution that didn't involve repenting, putting on the hair shirt, and renouncing their past life.
Yes that just kind of like the COVID-19 virus and all of the deniers of their same mentality and that included a very larger portion of straight people
Yes, just like the antivaxxers and anti-maskers who died in significantly higher numbers than anyone during the AIDS epidemic because they cared more about their "rights" and "civil liberties"...
Smearing Anthony Fauci, a hero epidemiologist fighting for public health from the AIDs outbreak all the way through the Covid pandemic, is the new intelligence test.
You’re insulting one of the worlds most respected epidemiologists and proven to be so, he has gotten the world through several major health incidences with his knowledge and research. It’s amazing people so ignorant and so lacking in knowledge are first in line to criticize him, probably because their political views want to attack him for doing the right thing.
Some people were purposely spreading it (and still do). Either talking their companion out of using protection, or removing it when the other person doesn't notice. For various reasons such as resentment (e.g. "someone gave it to me, so I'll give it to as many people as possible"), malice, or just being in denial about having it and refusing to get tested
In 2023, the leadership in SF is doing wonders AGAIN against despair, open drug use, overdose deaths, petty crime, homelessness, and the total demoralization of first responders! At least gays can be who they truly are!
They kept allowing gays to donate blood for fear of being called "homophobes". Some things never change do they? I pray for the innocent people who needed transfusions and paid for the sins and cowardice of others with their lives.
The FDA banned gay men from donating blood in the early 80s before there were reliable tests for screening for HIV, and it still hasn't been lifted. Stop making !@#$ up.
They banned gay people from donating blood before they even identified the virus and that ban remained in place for the next 40 years. It remained in place even after they started testing donations for HIV, rendering such a ban redundant. It remained in place even for gay men who had a total of 2 sexual partners during their whole lives while it waved through womanizing heterosexuals with no regard for what the latter might be carrying. You're also an idiot if you think anyone was afraid of being called a "homophobe" back in the 80s. To the extent any blood banks so much as hesitated, it was because they explicitly targeted gay communities because they could get more out of them. Such communities had civically engaged individuals who were more willing than others to donate. Such was the case with the annual SF Pride parade, which accounted for about 5% of the city's donations.
What’s sad is that AIDs still exists with gay men spreading it to each other without being careful. Now they rely on Prep thinking that it will help them but what’s sad is that people don’t learn.
Who was the best president? do you mean the guy pretending to be the president who was actually an actor? How could he be the best when he chose to not even talk about the disease five years after the first outbreak you should’ve taken the equation out of K and concentrated on how sick people were getting instead, you let it go right into the main stream
