The HIV epidemic disproportionately impacted the LGBTQ+ community, however homophobia had stopped many of these individuals from accessing HIV and other sexual health services. vsanch39 https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2270659399 2022-08-24 23:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2270659399 vsanch39 https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2270665386 2022-08-24 23:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2270665386 vsanch39 https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2270665954 2022-08-24 23:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2270665954 vsanch39 https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2270666160 2022-08-24 23:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2270666160 AIDS Long Term Impact https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2302226568 HIV/AIDS was a death sentence that was connected to the gay community in 1981. The disease wasn't fully recognized until 1984 when they realized the cause of many gay and trans men dying of diseases and cancers. The fear of the virus increased the stigma of the LGBQIA community. ]]> 2022-09-19 03:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2302226568 Stigmatization driven by Fear of HIV https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2302243561 President Ronald Regan ignored the epidemic of HIV. The public reacted to this disease with fear. They perceived the infected as dirty, immoral and irresponsible due to the transmission linked with sexual behavior. The perception that the infected were somehow to blame for being infected continues to this day.]]> 2022-09-19 03:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2302243561 Grief of Those Left Behind https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2302257781 HIV/AIDS devastated the gay and trans community and left many mourning for the loss of individuals who would have otherwise led a normal healthy life. Their deaths are recognized as the tragedy of falling ill to a virus, not a moral failing. The memory of those who were lost was memorialized by a massive quilt. 
There is growing recognition of the increase rate of HIV infections world wide today.]]> 2022-09-19 03:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2302257781 Red, The color of HIV Representation https://padlet.com/vsanch39/nef0y7gh03r0i4qr/wish/2302272310 Commercialization brings awareness and donations to the research surrounding this virus.
