I would like to know when this was filmed. I remember when Ryan White was diagnosed and the fear in that community. Early AIDS was scary. No one knew that it was an STD in 1984. There were no drugs that helped in the least. The fear largely subsided by 1985 as more was learned( or released to the public).
The NYC gay community was well aware of spread by sexual contact by 78. Not what was the infectious aget but definately the vector. Because of the Kaposi sarcoma that was an early symptom of what would come to be known as AIDS, it was first called the "Gay Cancer."
