Her inspiration serves as the Foundation’s logo, representing hope for children everywhere. actions are what save lives. –Elizabeth Glaser, 1947–1994 cover photo: James Pursey NEARLY 1,200 CHILDREN ARE INFECTED WITH HIV photo: James Pursey EVERY DAY. EVERY ONE OF THESE INFECTIONS IS PREVENTABLE. Foundation History Elizabeth Glaser acquired HIV through a blood transfusion and unknowingly passed the virus on to her daughter, Ariel, and her son, Jake. Following Ariel’s death in 1988, Elizabeth joined with close friends Susie Zeegen and Susan DeLaurentis to create a foundation to bring hope to all children with AIDS. While Elizabeth lost her own battle with AIDS in 1994, Jake is now a healthy young adult, and thanks to the work of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, hundreds of thousands of other children have a chance to lead longer, healthier lives. 4 photo: Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation 5 Executive Message This year marks my first as president and CEO of the In the pages that follow, we are proud to share with Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and I you the ways in which the Foundation’s research, couldn’t be more pleased to be part of an organization global advocacy, and international care and treatment that has had such an incredible impact on the HIV/ programs are working to achieve our mission.

[1]. These children, mostly premature infants and hemophiliacs, were infected by blood or plasma transfu- sions from untested HIV-positive blood donors [2]. However subsequent studies showed that maternal-fetal transmissions from HIV-infected mothers was the leading cause of Pediatric AIDS, occurring in up to 30 percent of children of infected mothers during pregnancy, at delivery or by breast feeding. This is the story of how the HIV infections of Elizabeth Glaser and her daughter Ariel lead to the founding of the Pediatric AIDS foundation, as told by Ariel’s doctor and Elizabeth’s own words in her autobiography, In the Absence of Angels [3]. Eliza- beth was infected by a post-partum blood transfusion in 1981, and passed on the infection to Ariel by breast feeding [4].

  • Dissertation Reconsidering Randy Shilts
    DISSERTATION RECONSIDERING RANDY SHILTS: EXAMINING THE REPORTAGE OF AMERICA’S AIDS CHRONICLER Submitted by Andrew E. Stoner Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2013 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: James C. Landers Joseph E. Champ Patrick D. Plaisance Michael J. Hogan Richard Breaux Copyright by Andrew E. Stoner 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT RECONSIDERING RANDY SHILTS: EXAMINING THE REPORTAGE OF AMERICA’S AIDS CHRONICLER The role of openly-gay reporter and author Randy Shilts (1951-1994) is examined related to his use of journalistic practices and places him on a continuum of traditional reporting roles as considered in the context of twentieth century philosophers Walter Lippmann and John Dewey. Reporter functions demonstrated by Shilts are examined, including those dictated by expectations of either strong journalistic influence over society and media consumers, or those more aligned with democratic practices where education and participation emphasize strong roles for society and media consumers. Using a biographical approach including 17 primary source interviews of former colleagues, critics, sources and family/friends, the examination of Shilts’s work as both a reporter and noted author is presented as being heavily influenced by his forthcoming attitudes about disclosure of his sexual orientation from the start of his career and his desire to explain or unpack aspects of gay culture, and ultimately the AIDS crisis, to heterosexual audiences. Careful examination of the posthumous critique of Shilts’s work – including his construction of Patient Zero – is undertaken. The study concludes that Shilts fully engaged a Lippmann-esque approach embodied in an authoritarian role for journalism that sought to change the world in which it was offered, and did so perhaps most influentially during the earliest days of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in America.
