What a lovely man. He was so brave for sharing his life and raising awareness like this.
God almighty... he was almost unrecognisable from 1981
HIV 1//)HIV 2 is no joke. The virus will destroy cellulite, tissues,blood and the heart.
I am haunted, my God, this was 32 years ago. I lived in San Francisco in 1990. I turned 28 that year and I was terrified back then. Am very happy to have found this. Thanks for posting. (BTW, Vito, if you can read this from heaven, I disagree with you. I think Paul did a wonderful thing for PWAs and the gay community nationwide)
You are very welcome, Anthony.
From what I've read about the AIDS problem in San Francisco in the early 80s you must feel lucky still to be alive.
AIDS was horrible during the Reagan Era. He was a Bigot and he even turned his back on his pal. Rock Hudson before he flew to Paris, France..to the American Hospital. The Reagan's gave him the brush off. Very heartbreaking decades.. 🥀📿🙏
I'm a Queen fan... and I know Freddie Mercury also continued to work despite being very unwell. Paul was very similar and similary brave, and similarly a top man!
He also continued to smoke and drink, he could have lasted to better drugs if he lived a potent healthy late 80s early 90s lifestyle of Capri Suns and Hostess pizza chips.
@@wdsftygt like it is that easy to stop smoking, and he was never an alcoholic.
@@wdsftygt HIV that advanced into AIDS.. causes severe health issues. Processed foods don't help dying patients... This isn't a common cold. Without T-Cells an AIDS patient will die.
Vitto Russo was wrong with his opinion on Paul Waynne's journal. He actually help bring attention to HIV/AIDS. Not just in the homosexual community but in the heterosexual community as well.
R.I.P to both Paul & Vitto.
Thanks for these uploads, it haunting to think of how many lives could have been spared if the apathy if not downright hostility that governments had in the crucial early years of the pandemic had been replaced with even moderate action.
The government didn't even know what to do. Cant fully blame them.
There were many doctors trying to determine how this retrovirus ,,was attacking the immune system. While others stood on the sidelines.
Bless this man. 💗💗💗💗💗
Strong mind ,very ill like Freddie was ,but his mind is clear and strong ✝️🙏🏻
I'm assuming you mean Freddie Mercury. Yes very similar ways to end their lives. Both carried on regardless of their illness.
I am assuming Vito Russo also died as he AIDS too and that it was still a death sentence back then.
It's important to remember that there are many people diagnosed HIV +ve and also with AIDS in the 1980s who are still alive today. A diagnosis back then was 'thought' to be a sentence of death but as the years have gone by so many more treatments and preventatives have been created.
From Wikipedia: Russo was diagnosed with HIV in 1985, and died of AIDS-related complications in 1990. His work was posthumously brought to television in the 1996 documentary film The Celluloid Closet, co-executive produced and narrated by Lily Tomlin. His memorial was held at a Congregational Church.

Yes, he died in november 1990.
@@aids_archive they must think there is such thing as a miracle then. Surely they must. That is remarkable
@Martin Weaver I was saying AIDS was pretty much a death sentence not HIV. But medical science is so advance thank god people can live longer now despite having either stages of the condition.
There were no treatments. The virus attacked each patient differently. Azt DDI we're highly toxic drugs..but they only lasted for 2-4 years... Until another batch came along..
As much as I like Vito Russo.If things were not done the way he thought they should then they were wrong, bad. It migh be the only thing I did not like about him.
Who was the first country to have haart? What year ?
They are blessed because of you.2 nd issue totally unfair
🤍
Well, the virus was pretty easy to avoid.
Only if you knew it existed and how to avoid it.
I'm done with having this type of conversation, Adam. I've had for most of my 62 years and it's been had for many generations before me.
Expect further comments of this kind to be deleted.
As they used to say in the print media: "This correspondence is now closed."
U r very naive
In a way you are right. If every single person having sex always wore a condom back then, and if every injection drug user alwasy used a clean works, the HIV transmission rates would likely have been lower. I agree. Condoms saved my life. I didn't get infected, however, humans, our sexualities and our addicitons are complex things and it's not so easy for some to simply wrap it up or wait to find a sterile needle. Listen, just about every single person I knew in the 1980s and the 1990s got infected. Most died, and a few areliving, but unless you lived the experience the way I did, you'll never know whar it was truley truley like. My friends were sick, my professors were dying, my rabbi was infected and so was my primary care provider. Please, just think of that. This infection afflicts millions and millions worldwide, still. I think your comment was shortsighted, not to mention a bit curt.
Really? The virus is still here. Could you potentially come in contact with blood or body fluids?
I was 29 in 1997 when my older brother died of AIDs. My son was 4 and never got to know his uncle. My Mom buried a son. My sister her children...get the idea? We couldn't avoid that.
