Children were born infected with HIV. Their mothers were incapable of caring for them or died of AIDS. All treatments were experimental back in the 80s.
I remember reading about the people who fostered or adopted the children with HIV. The best of them saints and heroes. They consented to treatment to give their children a chance. Of course children died. Some of them may have been injured by the treatment. The alternative was painful deterioration and death.
This is true.
So,they injected potions that they must have known were potent enough to to kill?
