6/9 What’s happening in Maine?
A state facing a record HIV outbreak — people getting sick, dying — asked for help.
It’s still waiting.
🙄 Excuse offered: “the shutdown.”
But former CDC directors say Epi-Aids have gone out during shutdowns.
So what’s different this time — and who made that call? 🤔

Check out my latest in @newrepublic.com - a double review of two incisive new books (AIDS IN THE HEARTLAND and FROM VICE TO NICE, both @uncpress.bsky.social) chronicling the histories of HIV/AIDS far from NYC or SF - in places like Kansas and Minneapolis. newrepublic.com/article/2004...
How the Heartland Responded to AIDS and Shaped Queer Politics
Histories of the epidemic tend to focus on coastal cities, but the response was very different in the middle of the country.

The efficacy of drugs for known diseases is a great example of this. To take one famous instance, treatments for HIV and AIDS. Hence the old joke from South Park about treating AIDS by injecting money into your bloodstream.

Besides the fact that people just casually used slurs, and in the 80s, let people die of AIDS, and could have kept it out of the blood system before there was an HIV test by testing for hepatitis, which also would keep hepatitis out, this happened

I’m old enough to remember how terrifying HIV/Aids was when first publicised. It is a tribute to science & campaigning that it is no longer a death sentence. May you see many, many more years.

Ik denk dat we met dit boek, na ‘geen paniek!’ van Annet Mooij uit 2004 een nieuw standaardwerk hebben over hiv en aids in Nederland. Robbert geeft enorm veel informatie gecombineerd met prachtige ervaringsverhalen.

This post is my tribute to a person who bravely stood by people like me who were cast out by society, by the governments of the day, and often by families and friends; whose supported for people living with HIV/AIDS continued unwaveringly throughout the years, nothing else.

I find it galling because the more I read on her behaviour the more she reads like the ashamed parent of a gay person in the 80s dying from HIV/AIDS complications. Desparate to ignore the reality and would rather remember brianna as a confused led astray cis child than ever admit she was trans.
