The first cases of AIDS were reported in 1981 – all among gay men in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. By the end of the year, there were 337 reported cases of what was then known as “gay-related immune deficiency”. 130 people had died. Four years later, there was at least one reported AIDS case in every region of the world. By the end of 1985, there were over 20,000 cases globally – the majority in the U.S. One of the victims was actor Rock Hudson – the first celebrity death of AIDS-related causes. 21 Likes 4 Shares

Also in 1987, the American FDA approved the anti-HIV drug AZT – the first treatment for HIV. Simultaneously, activist group @actupny was set up, with Larry Kramer as a founding member. In 1989 they chained themselves to the NYSE, protesting AZT's high price �. Eventually, new treatments became available. In 1995, highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) was introduced. It immediately brought down death rates dramatically – at least in higher-income countries. Africa and Asia were now the regions struggling with most new cases. 2 Likes

Another celebrity who brought attention to HIV/AIDS was Princess Diana � When she opened the first HIV ward in a British hospital in 1987, she was famously photographed holding hands with an AIDS patient, challenging the unfounded fear of transmission through casual contact. 27 Likes 2 Shares

![]() HIV got nothing on me. I was a really careless being. My addiction to fat bouncy bum bum would have led me to an early grave. Cuz the fatter the bum bum, the better. The first time I went for an HIV test, I thought I'd die of heart attack cuz I kept panting. Suspicion of Bimbo infecting me left me restless for weeks. I had to muster courage and go for the test. It came out negative. Did I change my ways? The spirit is willing but the flesh no send am. 53 Likes 1 Share |
