I’m glad the stigma of AIDS falling away, but there are certainly still those who think of it as a gay disease, or (for the only slightly less uninformed) a disease of IV drug users. And sadly, seeing people like Magic Johnson living relatively healthy lives with HIV now leads some to believe AIDS is no longer a problem, and even that it’s been cured.

Thankfully fewer people die now the way your father did, at least people with access to expensive health care in developed countries. But I’m sure your story still plays out all over the world for far too many families. So thanks for sharing your story, and honoring your father’s memory.
