Yes, it was briefly called GRID. But it soon became clear it was appearing in injective drug users, hemophiliacs and Haitian immigrants. People referred to these risk groups -- Homosexuals, Heroin users, Hemophiliacs and Haitians -- as the 4H Club. For that reason they renamed it (although pressure from gay activists played a part in that).
Reminds me of the old joke: What's the hardest thing about getting AIDS? Trying to convince your mom you're Haitian.
What's the hardest thing about getting AIDS? Trying to convince your mom you're Haitian.lol! Do you Remember how it wasn't a "gay bathhouse disease"? Rather, that "sex at gay bathhouses constituted" their first amendment rights? And Public Health officials were told to back off? (In San Francisco).
