I would like you to research about the different “eras” in the known AIDS epidemic — how the population demographics of those living with HIV/AIDS have changed over the decades, what different advances in detection and treatment have meant for those living with the virus and their loved ones. the possible intersections of homophobia and denigration of those living with HIV/AIDS over the past approximately 40 years. Because the HIV/AIDS epidemic manifested itself originally in the early 1980’s amongst primarily gay men and intravenous drug users in the United States, sadly many still stigmatize those living with HIV/AIDS. It is unfortunate that many people’s less than progressive attitudes towards sexuality and lifestyle choices have caused those living with HIV/AIDS to be often (still) treated as “second class citizens.” the possible intersections of homophobia and denigration of those living with HIV/AIDS over the past approximately 40 years. .
