- HIV / AIDS is still considered a global epidemic by the World Health Organisation. Around 60 per cent of new infections occur in sub-Saharan Africa. In the UK and US we view it as a distant crisis, but many members of the scientific and LGBT communities will never forget the horrific peak of the 1980s.
Fran Drinkwater speaks to campaigners, an epidemiologist and AIDS survivor.

It was so difficult to watch but it was amazing
oh my god same 😭😭 just binged it and cried for an hour and now have been researching up on aids and hiv
@@abbeymiller5031 did u just say binged it
@@willmt9728 yeah lol why? that's when you watch all the episodes of a show in a short amount of time no? I started it yesterday and finished like an hour ago
it blew my mind more than coronavirus in a way
I just finished watching "it's a sin" didn't realise how bad it was, if I had been a teenager in the 80s I might be dead
thats what brought me to research too its heartbreaking 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈better times ahead for everyone i hope
I think alot of gay guys my age (37) think that we dodged a bullet by a decade 😏😔
There are consequences for your actions
I was a teenager at the time and remember how scared everyone was. The ads were frightening.
I watched skins recently and can't believe there's no 'safe sex' message, they all seem to be having sex all the time without protection.
I certainly have not forgotten this epidemic. Lost people to it. Supported many others living with it, both as a friend and as a worker in the HIV sector. The release of tritherapies in the late 90s was a game changer. Suddenly there was hope. But as society started to realise that HIV+ people were not dying in droves anymore, awareness rising and stigma busting efforts started to recede into the LGBTQ+ minority corner I'm part of. That's why so many cis-gendered straight people started being infected in the 2000s. and that is also why stigma still persists. There is still need for a general media campaign concerning awareness of what HIV is, whom it concerns and why it's better to not have it, as the existence of efficient therapies should never be mistaken for a ticket to ignoring the risk of infection.
Very brave and inspirational people.. ♥️
Respect to you all..

i miss 2019 it was shit in 2019 but its better know than 2020

The Campaign against HIV must be intensified so that Young People can be saved from this Scourge of Humanity,
The 1980s was a difficulty era for The HIV Pandemic in the globe.
Why do America not want europeans to donate blood to America???????

This very very small community have cost the NHS billions
Not nearly as much as alcoholism, obesity and smoking. Sad to see there's still homophobia around today
Homophobia occurs because most Nations abhor it a lot.
@jimcourt9164 human stupidity and hatred, such as the kind you have just exemplified, has cost humanity everything
@@Adam-do8ny PrEP cost £10000 a year, per gay. 10k each, just so that they can have unprotected sex. Jeez
