From the wiki page:
In the early days, the CDC did not have an official name for the disease, often referring to it by way of the diseases that were associated with it, for example, lymphadenopathy, the disease after which the discoverers of HIV originally named the virus. They also used Kaposi's Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections, the name by which a task force had been set up in 1981. At one point, the CDC coined the phrase "the 4H disease", since the syndrome seemed to affect Haitians, homosexuals, hemophiliacs, and heroin users. In the general press, the term "GRID", which stood for gay-related immune deficiency, had been coined. However, after determining that AIDS was not isolated to the gay community, it was realized that the term GRID was misleading and the term AIDS was introduced at a meeting in July 1982. By September 1982 the CDC started referring to the disease as AIDS
All of the early patients who contracted the desease died. All of them. It was a 100% death sentence.
Does anyone remember Ryan White, the little boy who contracted HIV during heart surgery? Elton John became a very close friend & all of Elton's money could be of no help. Doctor's simply didn't know how to treat it. He died in april of 1990. Just shy of 24 years ago...
