I hope you and your family are staying safe during these still challenging times. Thankfully 2020 is behind us now. We have lived through the COVID-19 pandemic, an event that will continue to impact our lives for some time and likely alter how we live in the future. Despite the obvious difficulties of this past year, I can’t help but marvel at the scientific advances that have been made. With everything from COVID-19 testing, to treatments and especially to the rapid pace of vaccine development, we are so better off today than even a few months back. The approval of remarkably effective COVID-19 vaccines now rolling out in the US, Israel, UK, Europe and across the globe, brings light at the end of the tunnel. The work of many of you has helped shape our understanding of the host response to Sars-CoV2 and the ability of this virus to limit antiviral immunity while simultaneously driving a cytokine driven hyperinflammatory response leading to deadly consequences for patients. The knowledge gained from all of your efforts has been put to good use to stem the threat of this deadly virus.

    HIV AND AIDS a brief history Frank Rice (edited by Ian Strang in 2004) Body Positive Strathclyde Information Unit NATIONAL LOTTERY CHARITIES BOARD ©Body Positive Strathclyde 1998, 2004 Acknowledgements This text originally appeared as articles which were serialised in The Bulletin, the house journal of Body Positive Strathclyde. I would like therefore to thank both the members and the Management Committee of Body Positive Strathclyde for their support for this project. The work of a number of authors on the history of HIV and AIDS have been referred to in the text. I would like consequently to acknowledge the writings of Virginia Berridge, Simon Garfield and the late Randy Shilts. In the course of writing this text, a number of people shared with me their knowledge of HIV and AIDS service provision in Scotland. A special word of thanks then to Eric Kay, Dr Dermot Kennedy, Maureen Moore, John McClelland, Jamie McTaggart, Derek Ogg and John Wilkes. The production of this booklet would not have been possible without the professional help and personal support of Bruce Fraser whose contribution was invaluable. Thanks finally to Sian Cox and Kate Cunningham who proofread the manuscript and to Paul Robertson who co-ordinated the publication of the text. Frank Rice March 1998 ONE Rumours On Friday 5th June 1981, the US Centers For Disease Control at Atlanta, Georgia, published in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report a brief technical reference to five cases of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in Los Angeles.

  • Myths and Misconceptions of the Orthodox View of AIDS in Africa
    Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, IX, 2007, 2, pp. 330-370 Myths and Misconceptions of the Orthodox View of AIDS in Africa CHARLES L. GESHEKTER Department of History California State University, Chico [email protected] “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.” Marie Curie “To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, establishing a new truth or fact.” Charles Darwin ABSTRACT This article rebuts conventional claims that AIDS in Africa is a microbial problem to be controlled through sexual abstinence, behavior modification, condoms, and drugs. The or- thodox view mistakenly attributes to sexual activities the common symptoms that define an AIDS case in Africa - diarrhea, high fever, weight loss and dry cough. What has really made Africans increasingly sick over the past 25 years are deteriorating political economies, not people’s sexual behavior. The establishment view on AIDS turned poverty into a medical issue and made everyday life an obsession about safe sex. While the vast, self- perpetuating AIDS industry invented such aggressive phrases as “the war on AIDS” and “fighting stigma,” it viciously denounced any physician, scientist, journalist or citizen who exposed the inconsistencies, contradictions and errors in their campaigns. Thus, fighting AIDS in Africa degenerated into an intolerant religious crusade. Poverty and social ine- quality are the most potent co-factors for an AIDS diagnosis. In South Africa, racial ine- qualities rooted in apartheid mandated rigid segregation of health facilities and dispropor- tionate spending on the health of whites, compared to blacks. Apartheid policies ignored the diseases that primarily afflicted Africans - malaria, tuberculosis, respiratory infections and protein anemia.

This was the subject of my first monograph, AIDS TV: Identity, Community, and Alternative Video (1995), where I cov- ered dominant media, my own community-based video at the Brooklyn AIDS Task Force and GMHC, as well as that of my extensive activist media community. In this most recent decade—as was true from the mid-80s to 90s—my thinking and activism about AIDS cultural production has taken place in conversation and commu- AIDS nity. I recently coedited an anthology with Jih-Fei Cheng and Nishant Shahani, AIDS and the Distribution of Normalization Crises (2020), and am a member of a New York City collective, What Would an HIV Doula Do?1 And, I have enjoyed six years of conversation, both in person and in written correspondence, with the writer and cultural worker Theodore (ted) Kerr, who is also a fellow Doula member. Ted recently edited an issue of OnCurating, titled What You Don’t Know About AIDS Could Fill a Museum.2 Our conversations began online in 2013 when I still lived in Los Angeles and Ted was working at the New York City-based arts organization, Visual AIDS.3 This bond formed as we were both noticing and trying to individually make sense of a sudden upsurge of cultural attention to AIDS after a long 1.

  • Patrick Botts Faculty Mentor: Dr. Andrea Maestrejuan
    Grieving in an Apocalypse: The AIDS Crisis and the Dawn of Patient-Directed Healthcare Patrick Botts Faculty Mentor: Dr. Andrea Maestrejuan, Department of History 2 Introduction1 It comes like a slowly dawning horror. At first, you are equipped with a hundred different amulets to keep it far away. Then someone you know goes into the hospital, and suddenly you are at high noon in full battle gear. They have neglected to tell you that you will be issued no weapons of any sort. So you cobble together a weapon out of anything that lies at hand like a prisoner honing a spoon into a stiletto. You fight tough, you fight dirty, but you cannot fight dirtier than it. —Paul Monette, Borrowed Time2 It is difficult to understand, or even articulate, the shame that individual AIDS patients and their families suffered during the darkest years of the crisis. For much of the public, the perception was that people contracted AIDS because they took part in immoral behaviors. Whenever I was able to summon the courage to disclose to someone that my own father was a Person With AIDS3, inevitably, the next question would be “How did he get it?” The practiced answer that I usually gave was “Why does it matter?” but the implication was that it would have been a terrible shame if it was from a blood transfusion, but it was justice if he had been in a gay relationship or an IV drug user. Susan Sontag has explained this by writing, “AIDS is understood … as a disease incurred by people both as individuals and as members of a ‘risk group’ – that neutral-sounding, bureaucratic category which also revives the archaic idea of a tainted community that illness has judged.”4 1 I would like to thank the following people for their support in writing this paper: Dr.

  • Expanding the Availability and Acceptance of Voluntary HIV Testing: Fundamental Principles to Guide Implementation
    Expanding the Availability and Acceptance of Voluntary HIV Testing: Fundamental Principles to Guide Implementation June 2007 BACKGROUND Federal public health officials, recognizing that a significant percentage of people with HIV are not diagnosed until they present with AIDS-related illness, are recommending that the nation’s healthcare providers offer HIV testing to all individuals from the ages of 13 to 64, without regard to identified risk factors. Officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are currently convening advisory groups to help develop national implementation guides specific to various clinical settings. In addition, the American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM) is spearheading efforts to identify medical providers’ needs in implementing the testing recommendations and to develop strategies to support those needs. People with HIV and their care providers and advocates are also working to accomplish the important goal of expanded testing and early diagnosis, but emphasizing that ethical, science-based implementation plans, attention to the continuing health needs of people with HIV, and respect for the civil and human rights of patients must be at the heart of successful efforts to increase testing. To ensure that the important stated goals of more widely-offered testing are accomplished, a coalition of people living with HIV and the legal, medical and service organizations representing them (listed below) has framed these core principles, grounded in sound medical and public health science, ethics and human rights, to be followed by public and private decision-makers as they implement expanded HIV testing services. The fundamental elements—that HIV testing must always be informed, voluntary, confidential, and supported by health care and other services, and that it is always most effective when offered by someone trusted and trustworthy—apply to all persons, including pregnant women, youth and the incarcerated, and to testing issues beyond the current discussions about implementing the new CDC recommendations.
