Speaking Out for a Group Once Unheard-Of: Aging With AIDS

In the early 1990s, a diagnosis of AIDS
was both a likely death sentence and a stigma. There were few treatment
options, and many Americans were terrified of people infected with
H.I.V.

Today,
because of antiretroviral therapy and an array of drugs to treat both
symptoms and side effects, AIDS has become a chronic condition to be
managed, at least in the developed world.
