Why is he still alive? 🧐

Thank you so much for posting all these videos, Martin. You posting these videos means that you are here with us, that is bloody wonderful and I hope you are doing well.

How very wrong they were!

Is the 1st woman still alive? What was her name?

Мы с мамой тоже поймали ВИЧ,но ей было не просто ей за 50,сразу на нервах гипертонический криз,давление ничем не сбивалось,попала в больницу.Просто мама недавно замуж вышла и такой сюрприз,а я бисексуал,каюсь,но это моя природа.У нас город маленький и к таким как мы боятся даже подойти.В столице ещё ничего.Пьëм таблетки и всё хорошо.

R.I.E.P Bill. I remember when you diagnosed. We used to panic when you came to see us. None of us understood things back then. Bless you sir

These uploads are an amazing look into a world that had changed very much by the time I was born almost exactly a decade later from this broadcast (16/03/96). By my time, AIDS seemed to not be death sentence, and although I'm not up-to-date with the disease, I believe that for many years it's been manageable.

I'd love to know who came up with the term *Wings* for the bits that fold on the sanitary towels. After all, what do we normally call bits of cardboard, paper or cloth that fold over something else? Why didn't they want to use that term?

This advert terrified me as a kid. Curious Fact, John Hurt was the narrator.

Television really wasn’t a good format for debate. Especially commercial tv. The time limit means nothing can be debated thoroughly & the moderator ends up ruining arguments.

Seriously thank you Martin. There is a lot of content available from the US of this time period, but that’s really it. You have given us a peak into how the UK handled the crisis. Cheers!

An absolute joke that UK govt only apologised now. That compensation is only being given now. And I can imagine the compensation process will be a bureaucratic nightmare to navigate for victims & families.

Great footage! Thank you for sharing

It's funny how the lives of these dudes just revolved around sex. The dude has a lethal disease and all he can rhink about is whether he can get somsom, and whether kissing or oral sex are safe.

Paid for by the biowarfare defense chapter, gallo studied the cancer lympho retroviruses for decades before the first early documented 1980/1981 cases in gay population appeared. A virus specifically created to target Tcell leukocytes and lymph glands to waste away human body. Engineered, perfected, isolated, and introduced into the gay population for sociopolitical reasons to halt their civil rights. Look at interview fauci stated at a fime when theyd just got their civil rights "a virus gets introduced" Interesting it began spreading in its incubation stage around the late 70s when Harvey Milk rose to political status in the gay community. Elitists have a long hostory of "introdicing" various things into groups, communities, movements they view a threat to their comfortable wealthy existence, to halt stop those they see as in their way. Even more infuriating is the destruction, de-rooting bulldozing decades ago of trees with bark that cleared the viroid immune cancer virus out of the body. They knew those trees cured the virus out if the body. Hope a wise honost research scientist grew the trees back to use as better meds like prep. D-32 gene stops the HIV human immune cancer virus also makes people immune to HIV and other cancers. They need to take D-32 cells from people who have D-32 and infuse those cells into hiv people asap. Make the D-32 gene cell infusion in a similar way for a vaccine. They've known about the D-32 gene since the late 80s. And they've known about the trees bark around same era. NO excuse so many millions of babies children and adults have suffered died worldwide when there are known cures all along. Evangelistic hypocritical preachers falsely claiming its the wrath of God when God would never punish or let innocent babies children suffer from the lethal cancer hiv. Damned hypocrite televangelists you aren't God but He will see to it you go to hell where you belong with your sanctimonious holier than thou bs. STOP blaming Africa. STOP blaming Haiti. STOP blaming the gay community when you elitists paid gallo n co to engineer the virus to suit your sociopolitical Narcissistic greedy agenda. Whether it's called HIV/HTLV 3, HHV9, SLIM, SIDA, Aids, ARC, the fact is it is Cancer as it was rightly called at the beginning. It is the Cancer institute looking for meds to stop the virus replicating. Not some other type of institute. Make it right and make the D-32 gene cell infusions into HIV person's asap. Make potent curative medicine from those trees bark. You created the damn thing so it's Your responsibility at Cancer In stitute to cure it. Are you getting paid to be so insipodly slow making the cure? Appears so when the cure has been available all along. There are reports that the mid 70s hepatitis vaccines aimed specifically at young Manhattan gay men purposely contained the cancer-genic pathogen called HIV. And they had to report back every 6 months after the vaccines to their doctors where their blood was tested. Either they were testing the blood to see any changes in leukocytes, drops in Tcell counts or to find out how long telltale infections P.carinni and HHV8/Kaposi's appeared, or the full blown symptoms took. So they're claiming "it was a new infectious agent we'd never seen before or known about" is a lie a coverup. Fauci let it out everyone suspected it was a virus. Nefarious all around. NO excuse for all those who've suffered and died and who are currently infected with the bio-engineered super-cancer hiv when there's the D-32 gene cure knowledge and those trees bark are cures. NO excuse. Truly there are RSVPs in the worst depths of hell for gallo, the wealthy elites financially behind him, the hypocritical ethically warped televangelist preachers, and Nancy Shmancy who's expensive designer gowns were paid for with the homeland budget cuts and Ol ronnie boy reagan who could afford those ridiculous designer gowns for his hideous freak looking wife yet couldn't cure millions of people from an engineered dreadful cancer virus.

So, why is it thar Reagan couldn't even say AIDS!

I wonder if Chris Gresham made it?

Greetings! This was 40 years ago. Do you feel as if it was yesterday?

Viv Taylor-Gee presenting.

that's my dad at around 12mins - a haemophiliac and victim of the infected blood scandal but I cannot believe how positive he is... he has the chance to hold the government to account and chose to talk about how he wouldn't change the treatment. we lost him in 1991, he was 45 - @Martin Weaver, you have no idea how grateful i am for you uploading this. I mean this quite literally, it's the only thing I have to remember him by and here he is, moving, speaking, smiling. Although I mean it, a 'thank you' doesn't seem to come close.

Aids is out there like every disease is, Protect yourselves people

The politician at 17:30 was indeed 37 at the time, I checked, but he looks rather 57 honestly.

I love the music when it shows the hiv virus. I wonder who made it

Honestly if I had been Mobutu, I would've made you truly regret filming the local people's misery and not giving them even 50 dollars/pounds knowing that could've helped them a long way!

Between [1] CCR5Δ32 stem-cell transplants , [2] the FDA eventually approving Excision BioTherapeutics' CRISPR-Cas9 and 2-guide RNA (2gRNA) EBT-101 , [3] American Gene Technologies-Addimmune's T-cell and gene modiied based AGT103-T and [4] Dr. Eric Arts and Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry's dead-HIV-based HLP (HIV-virus-like-particles) as either functional or sterilizing HIV cure therapies, as well as [5] the FDA eventually approving Moderna's HIV mRNA broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) vaccines, along with [6] Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry's whole-killed-HIV-based SAV001-H vaccine, effective cure(s) and effective vaccines for and against HIV will available, within a decade. There have been recent updates to the potential HIV sterilizing CRISPR-Cas9 based cure in EBT-101, the potential HIV functional T-Cell modified based cure in AGT103-T, Moderna's potential HIV vaccines and the possible use of JAK inhibitors to treat HIV. *Information on the CCR5Δ32 Stem Cell Transplant Procedures* : The CCR5Δ32 stem cell transplant procedure, from donors who naturally have the CCR5Δ32 gene mutation, which naturally HIV, comes with risk. So far [1] the late Timothy Ray Brown, the "Berlin Patient" (who passed away in 2020 from a returning leukemia not caused by AIDS), [2] Adam Castillejo, the "London Patient", [3] an unnamed mixed-race woman from New York, [4] an unnamed 'Geneva Patient" Swiss man, [5] Marc Franke "Dusseldorf Patient" 56 year old German man, and [6] Paul Edmonds, the 68 year old "City of Hope Patient" and the oldest people that had completed the CCR5Δ32 stem cell transplant, are on a growing list of people cured of HIV. Not functionally cured but a sterilization HIV cure. As of June 2023 , the sixth person was cured of HIV after receiving the CCR5Δ32 allogeneic haemopoietic stem-cell transplant. While this procedure is very risky, six individuals with HIV have been documented to have had a sterilizing cure from HIV. Individuals born with the CCR5Δ32 gene mutation are resistant to HIV, but been born with this gene mutation is very rare, and the ones with this CCR5Δ32 gene mutation is of European ancestry. *Information on EBT-101* : Excision BioTherapeutics pending HIV sterilizing therapeutic cure, EBT-101, is one step closer to being FDA approved. In July 2023, the FDA granted approval for Excision BioTherapeutics' CRISPR-based EBT-101 to receive a FastTrack Designation, and the results of the EBT-101 Phase 1/2 human clinical trials was a success. There were no reactions related to participants with HIV taking the EBT-101 infusion and no complement-medicated toxicity. EBT-101 was detected in their blood four weeks after infusion and all three participants, and Excision reported no evidence of the gene vector in tissue associated with male reproductive function. EBT-101was developed and researched by Excision BioTherapeutics, at Dr. Kamel Khalili's lab at Temple University and Jennifer Doudna’s lab at UC Berkeley, is a CRISPR-Cas9 and two guide RNAs (gRNA), with the purpose of delivering the one-time treatment into cells via an adeno-associated virus (AAV), that targets three (3) sites within the HIV genome, and cuts out large portions of the HIV genome and minimizing potential viral escape. EBT-101 currently in Phase 2 (II) human clinical trials. *Information on AGT103-T* : American Gene Technologies-Addimmune's potential HIV functional therapeutic cure, AGT103-T completed their Phase 1 human clinical trial study, accessing the gene modifying AGT103-T as a potential therapeutic for HIV that could offer a functional cure of HIV. The Phase 1 trial demonstrated that AGT103-T was well tolerated in humans . As of December 2023, American Gene Technologies initiated Phase 2 for FDA consideration to continue the clinical development. *Information of HIV mRNA vaccines eOD-GT8 60mer (mRNA-1644) and mRNA HIV Timer (mRNA-1574)* : As of December 2023, Moderna's mRNA broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) HIV therapeutic vaccines, eOD-GT8 60mer (mRNA-1644) and HIV Trimer (mRNA-1574) successfully expanded production of a rare type of antibody-producing immune B cell in nearly all recipients. The human clinical trial study showed that the vaccine was safe when administered twice to each participant eight weeks apart. Some participants reported only mild to moderate side effects that went away in a day or two. The vaccine boosted production of desired B cells in all but one vaccine recipient (35 of 36). *Information on the potential of the JAK 1/2 inhibitor, Ruxolitinib use to treat HIV* : The FDA approved Janus Kinase (JAK) 1/2 inhibitor, Ruxolitinib, developed by Incyte Corporation (Wilmington, DE, USA), which is currently used as a medication to manage and treat myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, and steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease, may have the ability to inhibit HIV-1 replication and reduce HIV-induced activation, modulate immune activation, which is crucial in controlling viral replication and maintaining immune health in individuals with HIV, impact cell survival, influencing the lifespan of reservoir cells and potentially limiting viral reservoir longevity, mitigating the chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction often observed in individuals with HIV, and may have the ability to infiltrate monocytes/macrophages. Ruxolitinib is the first potent, selective, oral JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, FDA approved on September 22, 2021. *Information on HLPs (HIV-virus-like-particles) and SAV001-H* : HLPs was developed by an international team or researchers led by Professor Eric Arts at Western University's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry in London, Ontario, and Dr Jamie Mann, Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol. If or when HLPs are eventually approved by the FDA, HLPs would be effective and affordable. HLPs are dead HIV particles, hosting a comprehensive set of HIV proteins that may increase immune response without injecting a person, which HLP specifically targeting just the immune cells containing latent HIV1 reservoir, purging those cells of their HIV. SAV001-H was developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and his research team, also at Western University's Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry and SumaGen Canada, a member of the Seoul-based Curo Group. SAV001-H Phase 1 clinical trials were completed in August 2013, about 11 years ago. SAV001-H, is the first candidate preventive HIV vaccine using a killed or "dead" version of the HIV-1 virus (inactivated vaccine), and the results from Phase 1 clinical trials in 2013, showed that SAV001-H was well tolerated with no serious adverse events, showed no evidence of vaccine virus replication in participants receiving SAV001 and in human T cells infected in vitro. Furthermore, SAV001 with an adjuvant significantly increased the antibody response to HIV-1 structural proteins. Moreover, antibodies in the plasma from these vaccinations neutralized tier I and tier II of HIV-1 B, A, and D subtypes.

Catholic church logic: Condoms = ❌🤬 Noncing kids = ✔️🥳

Hope he lived Long enough to get antiretroviral therapy in 1995 !! ❤ Hes such a good guy

Many thanks for uploading ! Its an important piece of History! Thanks u so much!

Lo que veo aquí de estos inútiles servidores públicos que si hubieran construido en 1978 la otra planta más grande o lo que pagas x importar plasma de Estados Unidos ese dinero mejor lo hubieras pagado a donadores ingleses y no esperar que te regalen la sangre aquí fue una total estupidez que costó vidas y sufrimientos x no querer pagar o gastar en los enfermos hemofilicos 🤬

30:54 Oh really?

Jonathan Grimshaw survived the aids crisis. He became an activist. And was still alive in 2017. Probably alive still.

His name was Bill Ayres. All his media appearances as a gay man diagnosed with AIDS, were made to emphasise he had nothing to apologise for. Mainstream media, at the time, seemed intent on banging the ‘their immoral behaviour brought this upon themselves’ drum. Bill never subscribed to this argument. He felt himself a victim of a cruel horrible disease. Empathy and sympathy should have been the response to people in his predicament, yet certain elements of the press simply moralised and preached the self-inflicted almost wrath of God punishing the deviants argument. Thank heavens things have changed now ?

13:55 _”If Jesus Christ is not our Lord.’, then we no claim to be called Christian.”_ And the problem with that is what, exactly? If you simply trash the religion, then there’s no problem.

1:24 _”When I was told I had this virus, the doctor said I had a 1 in 10 chance of going on to develop AIDS myself. And he said I was probably infectious. When I was told this news, I was absolutely devastated. It seemed to me that what I'd been told was that through having sexual intercourse with someone, I could infect them with this virus and they could die of AIDS. I could kills somebody through having sex with them.”_ OK, well first of all, Grimshaw later on admits he had already done a story on a man who was HTLV-3 (HIV) positive quite some time ago. From doing this story, he didn’t learn anything? Second of all, Grimshaw fails to talk about “UNPROTECTED sex.” There’s a bit of dishonesty in the case he’s making. OK. So we’ve all done stupid things in our lives, things which could have ended up very badly and by the luck of the draw we didn’t suffer severe consequences like those in the early days of HIV. So I’m not saying that being stupid ought to be a death sentence. On the other hand, once Grimshaw became infected, he then had a DUTY to afford others the protection he did not confer upon himself. It’s a hard lesson, but he’s not really taking ownership of anything. 1:24 _”Now sex is very important to me. It's crucial to the way I form and maintain loving relationships and it seemed to me life was going to have to be empty of those relationships. I was going to become a very lonely person ..."_ OK. But after you became HTLV-3 (HIV) positive, those days are over. These are the consequences of having not been more careful such as using a condom which you well knew was the proper course of conduct. You want to eat your cake and yet still hold it in your hands.

There is an irony of Martin Sheen performing in this play, and then many decades later his son Charlie is infected. At least we know that Martin will be an ally to his son.

Only once have I witnessed a death caused by Hep B. And it was awful. There was no chance she’d survive for a liver transplant to be found. I will never forget her, she was my age (early 20’s at the time). She could have been my friend. We can’t take modern medicine for granted. The message in this video is still 100% valid.

Hi Martin

Are they still alive??

Omg you are in this, I saw you mention it in the description. What an amazing thing to have a recording of.

I was born in 1989. I don’t remember much of what happened in the 90’s either. But I work with patients who have HIV. I am thankful that you upload this, it helps me learn more about what it was like. Many of my patient are long term survivors, they have vivid recollections of this time. The videos help me understand more. Cheers!

Talk about politicians gaslighting.😂

It’s so heartbreaking to see the innocence in their faces. I doubt any of them would have guessed there is no cure 40 years in.

I honestly hope that any doctor that went and told a third party of their exposure without the permission of their patient was met with legal and professional ramifications. They can pretend they did the right thing all they want. But in the end, they harmed their patient. It’s like the number 1 rule you don’t break as a healthcare professional. Implicit trust is so very important. You cannot be moral and ethical with something that also ends up being immoral and unethical.

Your videos deserve many more likes 👍 😊

how enlightened these people are?

The British government is such a joke. The product they imported from the US saved or improved the lives of countless hemophiliacs in my Britain until AIDS was discovered in the clotting factor. Then the quality of donors in the US wasn't as good as what they got in Britain? Absurd. Yeah because there were no gays donating blood in Britain? Their govt. spent the 80's and 90 's calling it 'the American virus' instead of owning the fact that it was present in G.B. and countless other countries and continents. Pathetic and self-serving.

He brought attention to AIDS. Brave and good man ❤❤❤❤❤

Choices we make . Great shar 🙏🏼

Martin my fav acteur

The worse part of HIV/AIDS was the social stigma, not the disease itself. Many gay men who died of AIDS were socially isolated by their own family, community and their employers. Even some health care providers were afraid to be in the same room with them. People were afraid to be around them, so they died alone. I was in high school in the late 80's and I was terrified of HIV/AIDS. I didn't want to have sex with other men until I was almost 30 years old. Even with condoms, I was afraid to catch HIV. I was terrified that my family would not want to be around me if I have AIDS. I was afraid to be isolated from everyone and left alone. It was hard enough to tell people you're gay, but to tell them you're gay and have AIDS. Most people would not be able to handle it.
