first person t that i knew really welell who. came d down with full blown aids was my boboyfriend's. is going the scout bernard. and he came down w with cap cities are homemade in the fall of nineteen eighty fou. the level of stigma and discrimination the people with aids faced at that time especially people who were visibly impacted and symptomatic of was really horrible there were a number of incidents for when. my boyfriend and i would enter a subway car and harry was no here. you know looked like a skeleton covered with these. these you know purple callous like lesions and and people would like literally part away from us. we went into a restaurant one time and he sat down and you know he drank some of the water and the waitress came over r and sat of takig our order was carrying a garbage can and picked up his glass of water and threw it in the garbage can and. wife to all of the. silverware into the garbage can started yelling get out get out we don't serve

disease faggots in this place. i was really really upset that i couldn't do anything to help. save his life . farmer first demonstration was on wallstreet found. in nineteen eighty seven in march. the address moon that was really for that and and. exploded because there were so many dying of aids i wanna know why it takes. i. am years. three to test drugs then you contested europe. in a third of its.

we are. asking the. zero. wave. for the first time today the government approved risk in sales of the drug to treat aids easy he is not a cure azt only see. stem live from average nine months. the government wasn't. funding appropriately or with any so virgina's see so our effort was to. pressure on the government. drug. to this invest more money. in research to try to find defector. but also to put presesre on he'd love to our tried to spread as much information as possible. memories of the aids awareness. getting in. and getting it windsor. will made by americans across the he was unfurled. one of the most are. memorable on actions that we

when so many of my friends and loved ones died. i feel a responsibility to fight as hard as i can to a in to expand that access to. what has kept me a lot? so red ribbon that. many of us are wearing todo. symbolizes our suppoport for peoplele living with hiv. and pays tributes to thehe more thahan thihire millionn. . people. what died? as long as there. tens of millions of people living without access. you to use my voice to try to draw attention to the. our. lives of people who are dying needlessly aroundhe world still of hivv. until everybody has access to men tend human rights protection to food security. causing clean water and. and you k know. all of the things that shohould be a

human rights for everybody living with nature . just but it'ss home a storyi wantnted people toto know we backed. you can be p positive oror t we'll continue with life that was my initial idea.. we going to b be thehe hight shouould athlete d demograpc of people thatat are affece. there's been why i is it tht we're not talking about it. it is impoportant for young people to ststart speaking

somebody that has eades having eight it't's not anybody elslse's fault but yours and so because it's your fault. it is you are divorced from the rest of the community youou have to take r responsibility. when a young womanan engagas in traransactional thanks te intention is to o get. mone. or a fellow full or nenew hat or a lifestyle tht the parents cannot a afford. because i in societyy t thee prussia to leaveve in a cecertain way to to to hangg ouout withh fat and brutal.o opened the window for theset women to be violent. and window babita to they will take the violence as long as the violenence comes in with. what they want? that's also gmt.
