Throughout his short lived life, Ryan White brought about awareness and educated many people about AIDS. He was born in Kokomo, Indiana and later became the face of AIDS during the mid 1980´s. White, being a hemophiliac, contracted the disease from a contaminated blood treatment. After being diagnosed with AIDS in December of 1984, the doctors gave White only six months to live. To the surprise of many, White lived five years longer than the experts predicted.

Carl Zimmer the guest speaker of this broadcast states that in 1981 doctors described for the first time a new disease, a new syndrome which affected mostly homosexual men. The young men in Los Angeles were dying and the number of cases was growing faster and faster.

After the first few cases in LA, AIDS was declared to be one of the deadliest pandemics the world had ever seen after the plague in the Middle Ages.

On October 15th, 1982, at a White House Press briefing, Reporter Lester Kinsolving asked President Ronald Reagan’s Press Secretar,y Larry Speakes, about a “horrifying new disease” called AIDs that was ravaging the gay community.

The 1980s era was interesting. It was the time of the ‘me’ generation. The decade was prosperous, and the U.S. was not involved in any major war. The overflow of sexual revolution from the 1960s and 1970s spilled over into the 1980s, but with a caveat. Instead of the swinging, free love, the presence of AIDS and the lack of understanding of how it spread, resulted in a panic. Was it to be ignored because it was considered a gay man’s epidemic? Should it be feared like the bubonic plague? Would a greater number of people contract the disease with few survivors? No one knew the answers, and the government health services was not forthcoming. In the early 1980s, this invisible disease spread across America, contracted by over 100,000 people in
