In the early 1980s, doctors in the US started noticing clusters
of unusual illnesses like cancers and pmeumonia in healthy young
men, the only thing that connected them, was that they were
sexually active with other men. An epidemic emerged, a disease
with no name, as a mysterious, highly fatal illness. It sparked
widespread panic and devastating personal loss. A crisis heavily
defined by government inaction and societal stigma, thousands of
lives lost to HIV/AIDS.
