- sure, but it was not really out there. I had never heard of it in 1988. nm -- nm - groinzerker Sep 19, 14:32 16
  - it may not have been widely known, but it was epidemic. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 14:34 15
    - And the Band Played On is a great biography of those early days of AIDS. -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 14:37 8

      - I can remember in 1989 just beginning to hear about this disease that killed gay people. - groinzerker Sep 19, 14:38 4
        
        I know we talked about it a lot in college (starting in 1986) so it was out earlier. Guess it wasn't general knowledge yet. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 14:40 3
        
        well, I would hope your college was in more tune with it than my Public High School was. nm -- nm - groinzerker Sep 19, 14:43 2
        
        I was also a biology major so we had to be. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 14:44 1
        
        ...but I'm pretty sure we didn't talk about it in HS. My school was as bad as any public school - loosilu Sep 19, 14:44
    - well, as a 17 year old, I was not tuned into the HPV epidemic. nm -- nm - groinzerker Sep 19, 14:35
    - Ladies, we can all agree Jenny woulda let that diseased man get with her, vaccine or not. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 14:35 4
      - why didn't she? -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 14:35 3
