Biographical / Historical John-Manuel Andriote writes in the preface to his book, Victory Deferred: how AIDS changed gay life in America, "I wrote Victory Deferred because, despite the abundance of books written about AIDS, no one until now has examined both the 'big picture' and its finer detail in considering the many ways AIDS affected the nation's hardest hit community, gay men." [1] To do this Andriote interviewed hundreds of persons involved in various aspects of the HIV/AIDS experience. The University of Chicago Press catalog for 1999 describes the book this way: "John-Manuel Andriote chronicles the impact of the disease from Page 5 of 37 John-Manuel Andriote Victory Deferred Collection NMAH.AC.1128 the coming-out revelry of the 1970s to the post-AIDS gay community of the 1990s, showing how it has changed both individual lives and national organizations."

  • ACT up by Geoffrey W
    ACT UP by Geoffrey W. Bateman Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com On March 24, 1987, the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power, or ACT UP, staged its first action in New York City on Wall Street, protesting the Food and Drug Administration and the drug company Burroughs Wellcome. Converging on the site in the hundreds, protesters passed out flyers, disrupted traffic, and drew considerable media attention. One activist even built an effigy of the head of the FDA that he hung outside a church during the protest. Through this demonstration, ACT UP initiated its direct-action strategy in the fight against the AIDS epidemic. Using bold images and confrontational tactics, ACT UP worked to promote awareness of AIDS and challenge the complacency of politicians and government officials who had yet to respond adequately to the crisis. As its statement of purpose reads, "ACT UP is a diverse, non-partisan group united in anger and committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis. We protest and demonstrate; we meet with government and public health officials; we research and distribute the latest medical information; we are not silent." Targeting Wall Street allowed ACT UP to highlight one of the most pressing needs of those living with AIDS in the late 1980s--effective and affordable drug treatment. Because of FDA policies, Burroughs Wellcome was the only company that made and sold AZT. The high cost of the drug--anywhere from $10,000 to $13,000 a year for one patient--and the belief that it was the only treatment option available prompted New York City activists to target this monopoly.

SS: Well, Larry, you’ve been interviewed many times and you have a lot to say, and what we really want to do is ask you the questions that you probably have not repeated ad nauseum before and that, maybe, more of an internal conversation from people who were inside ACT UP together. So we’re not going to be asking you these generic questions or things that anybody who is interested can find other places. I just want to ask you a few background questions. When did you family come to this country? LK: My father was born in this country, and his mother was from Russia and no one knows where his father was from. And my mother came when she was four, also from Russia.

  • AIDS Cure Research for Everyone
    . AIDS Cure Research For Everyone A Beginner’s Guide to How It’s Going And Who’s Paying for It. www.AIDSPolicyProject.org AIDS CURE RESEARCH FOR EVERYONE By Kate Krauss, Stephen LeBlanc, and John S. James, of the AIDS Policy Project Dedicated to our friend and fellow activist Edward Zold “Luck in science smiles on prepared minds.” – Louis Pasteur, via Luc Montagnier July, 2010 (v.1.03) Introduction Who knows exactly what’s going on with AIDS cure research? Not many people outside the research community. Not members of the general public, nor most health reporters. Nor the United States Congress, which decides how much to fund the National Institutes of Health. Not even most AIDS activists, who assume that the cure is decades out of reach. And most importantly, not people with AIDS themselves, millions of whose lives are at stake. Who is funding the effort to find a cure, and how much are they spending? Almost no one knows that. For these reasons, we have written this simple report to share what we have learned, so far, about the search for a cure for AIDS. This section of the report will discuss the scientific and cultural landscape that affects this research. Here, we will offer analysis and make recommendations. The second part of the report will survey the avenues of scientific research being pursued in the US. Future versions of this report will broaden its scope to include international research and funders. How Is the Research Going? The Berlin Patient and the Future The first thing to know about AIDS cure research is that the science is going well.

  • Larry Kramer's Outsider Persona
    “IF YOU HAVEN’T MADE SOMEBODY ANGRY, YOU HAVEN’T DONE SOMETHING RIGHT:” LARRY KRAMER’S OUTSIDER PERSONA Rebecca Lynn Gavrila A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of Master of Arts December 2005 Committee: Dr. Jane Barnette, Advisor Dr. Jonathan Chambers Dr. Lesa Lockford © 2005 Rebecca L. Gavrila All Rights Reserved i ABSTRACT Dr. Jane Barnette , Advisor This study offers an exploration of Larry Kramer’s outsider persona, and how that persona affected both his writings as well as public perception of the author. My argument utilizes specific texts that provide insight into various facets of Kramer’s persona, both public and private. A critical analysis of Faggots, several activist texts from the Reagan administration, and The Normal Heart provide the case studies from which I analyze Kramer’s persona(s). This thesis analyzes these works and is informed by deconstructive terms, particularly those of Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida. In addition, Philip Auslander’s notion of persona provides the definition of a term that is continually explored in each of the three chapters. The outcome of this text is not whether Kramer has an outsider persona, but how that persona developed and became a permanent feature of his writings and public appearance. Kramer’s persona changed drastically in just a few years, usually in response to cultural events affecting him directly or though his community. In the conclusion of this study, I do not merely restate my argument but show, through recent writings, how Kramer’s persona and the public’s response to his words still are relevant today.
