I remember a popular joke of the time: "What's the hardest part of having AIDS? Convincing your parents that you're Haitian."
The people have known from the very beginning that AIDS is a gay disease, despite the government efforts to make us believe otherwise.
The first news items were the susceptible groups were Haemophiliacs, Hatians, Homos.
And, whatever happened to the term GRID (gay-related immunodeficiency disease)?
Oh that's right: "AIDS does not discriminate".
