Religion

I knew people who contracted HIV and had AIDS. They were friends of mine. I continued my friendship with them, drove them to appointments with health care professionals, brought them food when they were sick, and tried to comfort them when they were dying. That was before there were treatments for HIV infections. An AIDS diagnosis was a death sentence, then. I even knew one Catholic priest who died of AIDS during that period. I met him in a hospital.

It was hard to find medical people who would help them in the 1980s. It was hard to find people who were willing to be near them. Ambulance drivers put on hazmat suits to handle them for transport. It was easy, though, to find people who condemned them, shunned them, avoided them, and were glad when they died.

What did you do, Monsieur B? Did you ignore the problem, like most people did at the time?

You're asking people what they did, so answer your own question, please. What did you do?

Please do not ask question you are unwilling to answer. Thanks.
