I recall them saying we’d all be dead by now.

I recall them saying we’d all be dead by now.

I was told in a mandatory college lecture in 1989 that by 1994 at least one close family member or personal friend of mine would have died of AIDS.

To my knowledge no one I have ever met has died of AIDS.

I have lived or worked in NYC or Chicago my entire life.

Let's not drag AIDS care and prevention down to the level of every other disease,

Ah-hah! They finally admit that spending for AIDS far outweighs spending for other diseases. (Something we've realized for a decade or two.) I guess if one of my loved ones has heart disease, it's just a low-level sickness unworthy of celebrity charities.
