This documentary was made only 5 years before antiretroviral drugs came on the scene. So sad that these people died such a short time away from the life-changing and life-saving drugs.
I lost an aunt to this dreadful disease in the year 2000, this documentary is a solid reminder of how far we have come and we shouldn’t forget those we have lost and the fact that the battle is not yet over, we should continue to fight till we find a cure. Thank you so much for this documentary.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so sad there is still such a stigma attached to this virus. It's a virus. That's it. It's not a moral issue. It's not an indicator of how good or bad someone is. It only means you were dealt a bad hand. No one should have to defend their character while battling a life-changing disease. How cruel could someone be to judge someone going through the fight of their life? Especially when an HIV diagnosis meant certain death. I'll never understand it.
Why did she die? I mean in 1996 there were retroviral medication to become undetectable and live a normal life. Did she not take her medication? Because people now can only take one pill a day and they become undetectable. They can live a normal life’s. They can get married they can have sex without a condom without transmitting the disease to the partner they can have kids the normal way. It is a long ways from the 1980s and 1990s

My former neighbor was infected by donated blood in 1986. Then in the early 2000s he was notified that he had again received infected blood, this time with HIV and Hep C. He has hemophilia so he requires blood injections. He’s still alive and is now undetectable (after developing full blown AIDS) and went on to have 2 children, both HIV negative. It’s amazing that he survived the 10 years after diagnosis and before the “cocktail” was available. RIP to all who didn’t make it 🙏
@@tummieflowers2681 the meds that have been developed since 80s/early 90s, reduce HIV to nondectectable levels within the blood. When it's not detectable, that means it's nin transferable. So the partner and fetus are not exposed.
@@tummieflowers2681 with the meds that have now been developed, they reduce HIV to nondetectabke levels. This means that the HIV + person cannot pass it to their partner or fetus.

Having worked in the funeral business, and the funeral home that buried so many of the AIDS patients I felt so horrible for our customers and their families. I feel better knowing that we treated the decedents and survivors with the absolute dignity and respect
My best friend died in May 1995. He deteriorated so quickly that I was just in shock when he finally passed. He was barely a week out of the hospital, at that point it was clear he would not be returning to his job so we were making plans for his long term care when he just started going down hill. AIDS at that time was still spoken about in hushed tones in the gay community. When you didn’t see someone at the club or gay hangouts you’d hear they passed away, sometimes when you didn’t see someone you’d just assume the worst. I came out in 1991 when the gay community was bombarded with safe sex ads and gay porn actors wore condoms. Last summer I visited what used to be a gay hangout and saw a familiar face, one of the gay men I’d see out and about back then but never spoke to. We just hugged when we saw each other because it seems all those men we knew back then are now gone. We were there, we survived and will never forget.

I was born in 1990 I grew up with an uncle with HIV AIDS. He had a family, I grew up playing with him, he was super sweet and funny and he ended up ending his life when I was 11 because his HIV was getting bad. I realized that all life is a losing game no matter what we do. Life is short and full of horrors, most days I wished the world would end, but it unfortunately hasn't yet.
But that isn’t all there is to life (1st Timothy 6:19). It’s just most people don’t know the truth of what is to come. This system in place now would be a losing game but thankfully God has plans to remedy the problem (Isaiah 33:24), (John 5:28,29). Please take just one second to look up and read those scriptures I shared with you. It only takes two seconds and costs nothing ❤

Living in a country with practically free healthcare, I realize I would be dead if I was born in the USA. Not because of AIDS, but lots of other health issues and daily medication.
That may or may not be true. But what you need to realize is that medicines for HIV, HepC, Cancer, Covid, and many other diseases are created by the pharmaceutical companies in the US. Our country is at the forefront of research and treatment of disease, and that costs alot of money, time and effort. Countries all over the world, including yours, benefit greatly from that.

For anyone interested in the epidemiology of HIV, I recommended the book and the movie And The Band Played On. Its a long book, but thoroughly recommend it. The movie has some great actors and is good too
I saw the film many years ago a few years after it came out, it was an eye opening film. I have been mulling over buying the book for many years but I think I will do the needful this year. There is a story line in the book about the guy identified as patient zero, Gaetan Dugas, it was proven years later that it was wrong information. Randy Shilts late now who wrote the book mistakenly wrote that the zero symbol attached to Gaetan Dugas from his research while writing book was patient zero but it actually meant out of town.
@@siobhanblake9150 The patient zero stuff is wholly inaccurate. Gaetano Dugas was incorrectly assumed to be the blame for the AIDS epidemic. The book is scientifically inaccurate! Thanks, Reinhold Von Treffencaunbowz, MBBS, PhD
Thank God Australia has a world leading healthcare system which looks after its citizens... i remember this terrible period in Aust... it was truly terrifying i can attest to that

False. He was Black, yes but he was born in St. Louis Missouri. Not Africa. It is alleged he was a sex worker but not confirmed. The uncle story is not confirmed at all because he did not speak to any social service reporting agencies until he came to the hospital extremely ill. It was very likely he was molested by the adults in his life and potentially sold as a child rape victim but he gave conflicting reports. He was reported to have mental challenges as well.

I was very surprised to see that in Houston, despite the necessary precautions, the doctors and paramedical staff have treated patients with the respect they deserved since the beginning of the pandemic, visiting with their bare hands, knowing that this was possible. , given that the transmission of the virus did not occur through simple contact. It's a beautiful message, knowing that somewhere, HIV-positive people weren't locked up in large dormitories, left almost without contact, and when this happened they were all covered in overalls, as if they were in the presence of Ebola... Certainly the Houston patients will now be in Heaven I hope, but I was moved by the humanity and dignity with which they were treated in this video. I understand that especially at the beginning, fear makes us take extraordinary safety measures, but once we understood the mechanisms of contagion, it was useless to treat human beings, often rejected by their families, as plague victims, they were victims of a system that was fallacious. No one will forget the shameful cuts to healthcare, made by Presidents or Ministers, thinking that the virus affected only three categories of the population... when they understood that everyone was at risk... it was already widespread, and they left millions of people to die. In 43 years there still isn't a vaccine or cure, which everyone has access to, it's shameful. And unfortunately we are observing a new global surge among the youngest... I thank God for always remaining healthy, even if I have lost many friends or acquaintances.

There is currently no known cure outside of specific stem cell transplants, which cannot be done for people unless they have an unrelated disease that requires the transplant. cART can make the condition manageable with normal life expectancy.
@@katvtay what makes no sense is that there is no cure for HIV, but yet they find a vaccine or a so-called vaccine for COVID and it's a similar retrovirus is it not?

there are consequences to our choices and behaviors, and sometimes people who have not done risky behavior get infected, which is sad. Sexual activity spreads it the most

To be honest in the beginning mostly homosexual men got it in America, but in Africa it was heterosexuals who got it the most. I theorized it was like this because of who was the most promiscuous at the time in that geographic area. You see in America in the early 80s women still lived under the stigma of being a ho or prostitute if they were openly exploring multiple sexual partners. Most women during that time period in America still believed in monogamy and marriage. In Africa it was the same, BUT misogyny is high in places like Africa and Latin America. Many men found it acceptable to step out on their wives, and with many partners especially prostitutes. Even rape is more prevalent in those locations. Here in America the homosexual community was the most promiscuous. Mostly due to the fact that they didn’t have to worry about unwanted pregnancy, and it was a time right off the cusp of the free love era. It was not a gay disease and therefore inevitable that it would eventually spread to other demographics around the world, but that’s why I believe it hit the gay community first and so swiftly in America.
Hiv aids is still around and it is just that ee have better drugs and there more cases than ever and cancer and human papillomavirus too which can lead to all kinds of cancer

Half of this stuff I didn’t know, like how many women were inadvertently infected. They always placed all the blame on the gay community. Even today as a male patient, you get looked on with suspicion just for being male. “Sex with men?” one doctor asked me. “Wow, bro. Really?”
@@user-xv9rn7dq9n Just because YOU’RE into that, don’t assume the rest of us are. A very small percentage of men and women are gay. But even so. If that’s your thing, then just try to do so safely. (Or not. If you wanna end up at the STI clinic, that’s what they’re there for.)
It is sad however AIDS was entirely preventable. Please give your life to Jesus Christ if you haven't done so already! And OBEY the gospel. People continue to learn the hard way what happens when you disobey God

It’s true for all of us, and many people just wont accept that truth. This disease was 100 percent avoidable. Even if you don’t believe in the Bible, Gods word warned us about refraining from every single method of transmission, even down to the blood. People say it was a curse from God but that’s a lie! However he did know these things existed and has warned us from the beginning of what is right, and wrong. We just get mad at him for trying to tell us what to do, and not do. We get mad at his attempts to protect us from things like this.

Living in a country with practically free healthcare, I realize I would be dead if I was born in the USA. Not because of AIDS, but lots of other health issues and daily medication.
That may or may not be true. But what you need to realize is that medicines for HIV, HepC, Cancer, Covid, and many other diseases are created by the pharmaceutical companies in the US. Our country is at the forefront of research and treatment of disease, and that costs alot of money, time and effort. Countries all over the world, including yours, benefit greatly from that.

Unfortunately, you are probably right.
There's no such thing as free healthcare, you're paying for it in someway
Sadly true
If I was financially established when the AIDS Epidemc I would have opened up a home for the destitute with AIDS

For anyone interested in the epidemiology of HIV, I recommended the book and the movie And The Band Played On. Its a long book, but thoroughly recommend it. The movie has some great actors and is good too
Thank you
I saw the film many years ago a few years after it came out, it was an eye opening film.
I have been mulling over buying the book for many years but I think I will do the needful this year.
There is a story line in the book about the guy identified as patient zero, Gaetan Dugas, it was proven years later that it was wrong information.
Randy Shilts late now who wrote the book mistakenly wrote that the zero symbol attached to Gaetan Dugas from his research while writing book was patient zero but it actually meant out of town.
That book is now considered to be inaccurate.
in what regard?@@barneyronnie
@@siobhanblake9150 The patient zero stuff is wholly inaccurate. Gaetano Dugas was incorrectly assumed to be the blame for the AIDS epidemic. The book is scientifically inaccurate!

Thank God Australia has a world leading healthcare system which looks after its citizens... i remember this terrible period in Aust... it was truly terrifying i can attest to that
Yes, mate... I've also heard that Canada offers something similar too. They have a solid healthcare system. The USofAIDS is a crying joke!
Apparently our needle exchange program was what saved us from the second wave.

False. He was Black, yes but he was born in St. Louis Missouri. Not Africa. It is alleged he was a sex worker but not confirmed. The uncle story is not confirmed at all because he did not speak to any social service reporting agencies until he came to the hospital extremely ill.
It was very likely he was molested by the adults in his life and potentially sold as a child rape victim but he gave conflicting reports. He was reported to have mental challenges as well.

I saw that machine for the first time yesterday on another documentary
I was very surprised to see that in Houston, despite the necessary precautions, the doctors and paramedical staff have treated patients with the respect they deserved since the beginning of the pandemic, visiting with their bare hands, knowing that this was possible. , given that the transmission of the virus did not occur through simple contact. It's a beautiful message, knowing that somewhere, HIV-positive people weren't locked up in large dormitories, left almost without contact, and when this happened they were all covered in overalls, as if they were in the presence of Ebola... Certainly the Houston patients will now be in Heaven I hope, but I was moved by the humanity and dignity with which they were treated in this video. I understand that especially at the beginning, fear makes us take extraordinary safety measures, but once we understood the mechanisms of contagion, it was useless to treat human beings, often rejected by their families, as plague victims, they were victims of a system that was fallacious. No one will forget the shameful cuts to healthcare, made by Presidents or Ministers, thinking that the virus affected only three categories of the population... when they understood that everyone was at risk... it was already widespread, and they left millions of people to die. In 43 years there still isn't a vaccine or cure, which everyone has access to, it's shameful. And unfortunately we are observing a new global surge among the youngest... I thank God for always remaining healthy, even if I have lost many friends or acquaintances.
A moment of appreciation for the NHS.
Exactly! But we need more funding to be put back into the NHS ! Too many services have been cut,especially social services and mental health services.

I lost a good friend to this disease and have a good female friend living with it. I hear there is a cure now but lets see how true that is.
There is currently no known cure outside of specific stem cell transplants, which cannot be done for people unless they have an unrelated disease that requires the transplant. cART can make the condition manageable with normal life expectancy.

Me waiting in my HIV results: 👀 😬
They were and still are stressful days waiting. I get tested every 2 years because of my history. So far, negative.
@@Mayhem42083Qual histórico ?😮
Drug addiction. I have nothing to hide
Being in prison. Getting street tattoos, sex, there's a lot of factors
Back in the 80s and 90s, it took weeks to find out results. It was torture waiting.
Why would you get pregnant knowing you had aids? I mean back then now there are other things that can be done but?
None of my heterosexual friends, ever got tested. People still believe, it's a homosexual problem.
It is mostly
For the most part they are at higher risk along with IV drug users, hemophiliacs
They should if they swapped body fluids with another person.
To be honest in the beginning mostly homosexual men got it in America, but in Africa it was heterosexuals who got it the most. I theorized it was like this because of who was the most promiscuous at the time in that geographic area. You see in America in the early 80s women still lived under the stigma of being a ho or prostitute if they were openly exploring multiple sexual partners. Most women during that time period in America still believed in monogamy and marriage. In Africa it was the same, BUT misogyny is high in places like Africa and Latin America. Many men found it acceptable to step out on their wives, and with many partners especially prostitutes. Even rape is more prevalent in those locations. Here in America the homosexual community was the most promiscuous. Mostly due to the fact that they didn’t have to worry about unwanted pregnancy, and it was a time right off the cusp of the free love era. It was not a gay disease and therefore inevitable that it would eventually spread to other demographics around the world, but that’s why I believe it hit the gay community first and so swiftly in America.

Half of this stuff I didn’t know, like how many women were inadvertently infected. They always placed all the blame on the gay community. Even today as a male patient, you get looked on with suspicion just for being male. “Sex with men?” one doctor asked me. “Wow, bro. Really?”

It’s true for all of us, and many people just wont accept that truth. This disease was 100 percent avoidable. Even if you don’t believe in the Bible, Gods word warned us about refraining from every single method of transmission, even down to the blood. People say it was a curse from God but that’s a lie! However he did know these things existed and has warned us from the beginning of what is right, and wrong. We just get mad at him for trying to tell us what to do, and not do. We get mad at his attempts to protect us from things like this.
