FeaturedGay HistoryOf InterestGay History – September 24, 1982: The Centers for Disease Control Uses The Term “AIDS” For The First Time

 

Gay-related immune deficiency (GRID) was the name first proposed in 1982 to describe an “unexpected cluster of cases” after public health scientists noticed clusters of Kaposi’s sarcoma and pneumocystis pneumonia among gay males in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City.  During this time, the phrase “gay cancer” was also used.

In 1982,  there was 355 cases of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and/or serious opportunistic infections in previously healthy young people had been reported to the Center for Disease Control.  By mid 1982 a total of 20 states had reported cases and the disease was no longer solely affecting gay men; there were a small number of cases among heterosexual men and women. Over half of those identified as heterosexual had used intravenous drugs at some point.

“By mid-1982 it was clearly different. People were starting to shake in their pants. It was clear that it was more than isolated incidents” said G’dali Braverman, an AIDS activist living in San Francisco

It was not until July at a meeting in Washington, D.C., that the acronym AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)was suggested

On September 24th. the CDC used the term “AIDS”  for the first time replacing the previous name of GRID, and released the first case definition of AIDS: “A disease at least moderately predictive of a defect in cell-mediated immunity, occurring in a person with no known case for diminished resistance to that disease.”

At that point in the plague two to three cases of AIDS were being diagnosed in the USA every day.

AIDS.gov reports that 50,000 new Americans becoming infected with HIV each year and over 35 million people worldwide have dies of HIV/AIDS since the epidemic began.

PLEASE remember while science has made great strides in research that the AIDS epidemic IS NOT over.

 STAY HEALTHY, HAVE YOURSELF TESTED, AND USE THE PREVENTIVE MEASURES THAT YOU DEEM FIT.

As I've said before people lie too much. Some say Aids comes from green monkeys as if we are stupid. And then some say Aids comes from the US government which is no doubt they spread it. Yet the truth is Aids comes from Allah's punishment for anal sodomy. Yes, anal sodomy which is a satanic practice of gay men, bisexual men and lesbians. Sodomy is a religion and part of their satanic practice. There are US and South African cults who deliberately spread the disease by gathering huge orgies of men having sex with no condoms.

Wake up out your slumber

Well, technically, fagg.otry itself doesn't cause AIDS. But fagg.ots are more easily infected than anyone else. The practice makes them more vulnerable and open to infection.
