From the Poz Newsfeed: “It was on June 5, 1981, that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published its first report on what became known as AIDS.”
The first time I remember hearing about AIDS was a few years later, in the 4th grade. I was likely already HIV positive by then, because I had an outbreak of shingles that covered my left arm and shoulder. There was a school field trip, and I wore a long sleeve button up shirt to cover the embarrassing and painful bumps. The shirt was button-up because putting a sweatshirt or hoodie over my head and shoulders would have hurt too much. I guess missing out on a field day trip was not an option socially at the time.Positively Yours,
Shawn
