    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)

      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.. 🥀📿🙏

      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.

    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.

    I am assuming Vito Russo also died as he AIDS too and that it was still a death sentence back then.

    • @aids_archive
      @aids_archive  2 года назад +3

      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.

      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..

      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.
