The Cure For AIDS, really?
Date: 6/21/1996Call Number: JG/ 162AFormat: Cass AProducers: Judy GerberProgram: A Defiant HeartCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Judy Gerber opens the episode with information about the Atlanta Lesbian and Gay pride parade that was occurring the next week. She speaks with Jeff Graham, executive director of AIDS Survival Project, on the new “cure for AIDS” that’s being widely advertised and how it’s neither new or a cure. Graham talks about the hope of finding a treatment, not a cure, because a cure is impossible, that would keep people from getting sick. Graham also speaks about the expensive new AIDS drugs that even the middle class can’t afford and AIDS continuing to ravage impoverished countries. Graham’s organization struggles to make clear that AIDS is NOT a gay disease and that in fact the holocaust of AIDS on the lesbian/gay community has made them stronger.
