NO ONE KNEW

About twenty seven years ago, when we lived in South Carolina, everyone was talking about something which happened that no one could understand. A popular male hairdresser died a horrifying death and people whispered about it because no one could understand what had really happened to him. No one knew what the symptoms were or what went on with his body.

It was quite a while before anyone found out what AIDS was and why so many others died the same horrifying deaths.

This was all brought to mind after seeing an interview last week with Magic Johnson the former basketball star. Hundreds and hundreds of sexual encounters with women in the cities where he played was the reason he developed the HIV virus. Because he has received what is called a cocktail of drugs, he is still alive today. How fortunate for him.

Remember when this disease was in the news daily, the subject of many television dramas and award winning movies? The worldwide epidemic is still in existence but very seldom spoken about, because we’ve moved onto other things to worry about.

Don’t you wonder what’s new with the Kardashians this week?
