How sad i looked that woman up with the baby. She ended up passing 6 months later at 25 years old. Her baby was only 2 years old when she passed. So many good people lost to AIDS during this time. Its terrible.
She had an older brother that died at 19 in 1973.
Sad, may the Lord comfort them
The babies and children dying is so heartbreaking. Those poor and innocent children having to suffer like that is just beyond humanity 😢
All because of dr fauci
As opposed to the guilty people suffering like that @@josephclarke645
I remember all of this. I'm 58 and was in my early 20s and gay when this came out. It was terrifying. I believed all of the fears about deep kissing, as well as about sneezing, shaving. I tried to refrain from all sex and kissing until 1991. It screwed up my relationship to sex for a very long time. I also never got tested either because you could lose your job, apartment, and family. The fear of being quarantined or imprisoned was real.
still freaked out 500 years later.
???? One can get AIDS from open mouth kissing, sex, drug use, coughing any bodily fliuds onto an open cut, wound, lesion, raw area of skin, your mouth ,your tongue, gums, or if it gets into your eyes. WAKE UP folks. Liberals today are making it sound like it is nothing, and how you get it is 'normal' THAT is the SICK part of it. UGH, makes my skin crawl
500 years? That's incorrect.@@JesusGodHolySpirit3
Once the heterosexual community was equally at risk of HIV/AIDS the world started to change for the better with regards to stigma and life affecting outcomes. Yes it took its sweet time, snails pace is fast in comparison, but change was coming.
In 1987 I recall hearing how insurance companies wanted to know if you'd had a test for the virus, full disclosure or non payment of life insurance claims for people who perished due to AIDS. It was a scary time for the youth during this time with raging hormones not getting the memo on events and protection not being the best.
My gay friends would either be fickle or absolutely on board with abstinence and my constant worry about their wellbeing becoming a chore to them. I simply wanted them to be ok, they wanted the same without me being a constant reminder. Strange times indeed.
I know my comment is somewhat disjointed but it's a fair reflection of how it was in the late 80s, life was odd at times.
Glad you made it unscathed.
I'm 58 too, and to tell you the truth, the fear of getting AIDS scared the living F out of me. That's why I've been celibate ever since, and I think that it saved my life.
Here in 2024 celibate for most part of my life I’m 55. You still can contract it. And it’s just as deadly as ever. I had a debate with a former colleague that it was cured. Talk about misinformation. And a lot of the young generation are trying to contract it.
One nice thing to note for anyone interested is that Amy's husband and son are doing well. He's a married lawyer and Amy would be a grandmother of three if she were still alive.
so nice to know that
Amy's story .... OMG. She died in 1987, age 25, poor thing.
Amy Sloan was so articulate for someone so young. RIP.
When I was just turned 2 years old, in August of 1983 - I had an horrific accident. Basically, I fell 30 odd foot from an upstairs apartment window (This was the 80's - when windows didnt have all the safety catches on like they do nowadays)...I died and was resuscitated 3 times in the Ambulance en route to the hospital, and I needed multiple blood transfusions. I grew up with being a child and seeing all the quite scary adverts on TV... Gravestones with "RIP - AIDS" on them and a sinister and very serious voiceover....
I can't believe I dodged the bullet that was unchecked blood in that era. That poor child, who was a hemophiliac, I want to say his name was Ryan White. I could very well have been given an infected batch of plasma. Over in the UK right now, there are lawsuits left and right about these bad batches of blood and infected people back in the '80s. I guess I had more than one guardian angel watching over me, not only the day of my accident, but also, when I received the blood transfusions.
I'm 43 years old now, and my thoughts and prayers go to every single person who has contracted and passed, or contracted and still lives on with this awful disease 😢❤
In the 80s thousands and thousands of peope in the UK contracted AIDS and Hep C as a result of blood transfusions where infected inscreened blood that was imported from the US, Thousands of those people are now dead but many of the survivors live with the consqueces to this day
helen kushnick was jay lenos manager her husband died of cancer in 1989 and she died of breast cancer in 1996 she was only 51 sad.
The fact that Amy Sloan died just 4 months after this aired is devastating. She was so articulate, and was a huge advocate for education and research for AIDS. May she rest in peace.
I had men die weighing 47 lbs they were skeletons , so many abandoned by families,many sad cases
May those beautiful souls rest in peace.
Heartbreaking. I have 2 gay brothers and we all lived in absolute terror in those days. We are very very grateful they are still with us thank God. Had they gotten sick, their other 8 brothers and sisters, without hesitation, were ready to take care of them. The thoughts of the poor souls who are abandoned is a pure nightmare. God help those poor souls.
These early video records are very interesting when you compare them to what we now know in 2022. Just a side note- Whoever put that eyeliner on Gary Collins should have been slapped, lol.
Lol!!
Eyeliner,slapped😂😂😂😂😂😂
The random late night comment I didn’t know I needed 😂
16:33 - Amy Sloan died 4 months after this video.
😢❤😢
I remember learning in nursing school learning in 1987 is how it was impossible to catch AIDS by casual contact.I Worked with many woman got it GOD BLESS THEM ALL
It's too bad about the sound quality of the last third of this but it is a very good discussion if you can hear it
Life can be so unfair and cruel
I nearly had coitus with a drunken Irish woman in 1984, the barman warned me "Do not get near that hoore, she is riddled with the AIDS so she is". I gave it a big swerve, but later found out that she died in 1986 of the Fully Blown AIDS.
I know it’s inappropriate to laugh, but coitus, ‘hoore’ and ‘Fully Blown AIDS’ as a whole, made me giggle. I’m glad you didn’t get the virus tho.
Your comment does have a touch of the wankiness about it. As do you.
I hope you had a lovely single and judgmental life. So glad I didn’t meet you, I would have felt compelled to drink myself to death.
Bless you Kath.
So what was your feelings when she died with aids
I felt no emotion on the tawdry matter.@@murtazadurrani76
We never get anything right.. Why to many people died..And didn't have too..
Well, thankfully "we" finally got the medications right; so much so that today an HIV infection is not a death sentence.
The goal is to stop HIV not say what the hell it won't kill you anymore because it still can
And you know Dr. Fauci was in charge of managing this epidemic as well. He's a failure on all counts.
Because they liked screwing around raw
Gay men in general are extremely reckless. They have always behaved very immoral, public sex with complete strangers, bath houses etc.. Unfortunately, it spread to the Heterosexual community, likely because husbands were living double lives and bringing it back home to their wives and girlfriends. Very sick lifestyle. I don't care what anyone says. 🤷 We all know it's true.
They forgot about transmission through breast milk. Or was that not yet known at this time?
Bodily fluids. Mother to child. These should have covered that question
@@evansihugo2420 No, they REALLY should have said breast milk explicitly. We are talking about what was a deadly disease at that point. People needed to know EXACTLY how it was transmitted. “Mother to child” means through childbirth. Most people will not think of breast milk when they hear “Bodily fluids”. Even that isn’t accurate, because urine, sweat and saliva are all “bodily fluids”, and the HIV virus isn’t found in any of those. Yet, it is found in blood, semen, vaginal fluid and BREASTMILK. You can’t be so vague when it comes to people’s health and lives. That vague language probably caused a lot of people to be unnecessarily afraid of being around sweat or saliva, and it probably also caused some women to not be cautious enough about breastfeeding. Specificity is best, always.
15:43 - Media caused the unknown fear.
They always do. Even today.
7:20
Knowing what it cost in human lives...
I didn’t understand why/what the two doctors were arguing about.
The arrogant guy wasn’t even a doctor, that’s why he was wrong about everything.
Remind me who was President at this time?
13:14 he’s wrong here. There were and are people who deliberately infect themselves. They’re called Bugchasers and it’s a fear response. This is documented reality, a very small minority. But they exist & they need help.
Dr. Silverman ate his opponent alive.
Lot of people are immune
Um, no, they’re not. Very few people have the genetic make up for natural immunity.
@@mariekatherine5238 false, Northern European people such as myself have no ccr 5 receptors. 10% of population . I can be exposed and never get sick
1% of total world population. Bigger percentage in Scandinavia, but it is super rare.
@@NoctisAquila I’ve put myself at risk numerous times & by some miracle I am still negative.I have often wondered if I have some immunity
Not true!
Anyone know if Jack Smith is still around?
wonder the same
I don't know if it was the Jack Smith featured here, but there was a Jack Smith who died in 1989 of AIDS.
He was too good looking to not to have had hundreds of partners. My bet is, he's gone.
@@tj921able that's another one. There doesn't seem to be info about him online.
@@pebkit6763 lol that's just a stupid thing to say. Besides many people got aids in monogamous relationships / their first time having sex / kissing people while having a mouth injury. Plus, Smith himself mentioned he'd abtasined for 3 years and practiced only safe sex
