I worked at a dental office in the 90’s. We were told, by an oral surgeon we referred a patient to, that the patient had full blown aids. The assistant, that usually prepped him, freaked out when he came into the office for follow up. The office was small and I was empathetic to what the patient may have been feeling. I told her she had already assisted him unknowingly, and this time she can take the necessary precautions. She kept freaking out. I snatched his chart and said I’d do it. I did not want him to feel worse than he already did.

[@Shegosushimi]

I’m surprised you snatched the chart instead of showing e pearly towards your employee that shows lack of compassion on your part. I wouldn’t want to help either. Additionally based on HIPAA law you should not be disclosing your patients medical information ma’am.

I didn’t understand what was happening at the time but as I got older and learned what HIV and AIDS was I would cry myself to sleep thinking of the pain and discrimination I witness them go through even from family. Till this day I’m haunted by what I witnessed and even at the age of 43 I still suffer from extreme anxiety every time I get tested. I don’t sleep for days out of fear. My heart goes out to all who have lost someone due to this disease. I lost the only 2 people that loved me unconditionally and had to fight through life alone with no guidance chasing and searching for that love that only a parent could give 😢 Thank God I don’t look like what I been through ❤ 🙏🏽 for all!

[@lanaofficiel4042]

​@TheEsquireofSports212I was a new, young Nurse in the mid 1980's. HIV/AIDS was a death sentence then. My very first Nursing assignment was on a HIV/AIDS unit and I can remember how my patients with HIV/AIDS suffered so terribly, the virus ravaged their bodies, they looked like skeletons even though they were still alive. And the weakness..... They were sooooo weak....I used to help them get on the bedside commode, from the bed to the commode right next to the bed, and they were so weak... often they would die just sitting on the commode or sitting up in bed....the smallest movement would push them over the edge and they would die so quickly. HIV/AIDS is NO JOKE and people need to take this virus SERIOUSLY. Nowadays, people have become willy nilly about this virus and we have minimized it's danger by calling HIV/AIDS a CHRONIC disease and now we have medications and PreExposure Prophylaxis but I tell you, having HIV /AIDS is NO JOKE. Take this virus seriously, use protection and be careful who you lie down with. This is a tragic virus and still very dangerous.

I am a gay man who came of age during the AIDS crisis. I was young, and it was still early. It only happened to someone else is how young people felt back then. Young people will always feel like they're invincible to the world. Then reality hit, and I saw many friends wither away and die. Too many to count. Somehow I never got it, and I am still here almost 40 years later.

Bobby was on drugs pretty bad 😢. Such a gifted singer ❤… RIP 🙏🏽
