Medically it used to be "Kaposi's Sarcoma" and to the media and American society at large, "gay cancer."
It was gay people's problem. Reagan didn't validate AIDS until 85-86...? Too little too late by then. The public made up its mind.

A lot of it is a chronic inflammation combined with declining immune systems and viral latency.
Hell, we've known for a while that Kaposi's Sarcoma and Burkitt's Lymphoma are both human herpesvirus related.
Given what we've seen with Covid, I'm concerned that we'll see something like post-polio.

I have an HIV-negative family member who was just diagnosed with conjunctival Kaposi’s sarcoma which is so unheard of their medical team is totally divided on a treatment plan so they’re going with watchful waiting for now. Their only known immune system risk is multiple Covid infections.

A few years ago, I saw a clip of the revival and had to explain Kaposi's sarcoma to my teenager, who had never heard of it. I'm glad we've come so far.
But every time I hear of a high school production of Rent, I flinch.

Here's a different example in the interview: HIV/AIDS. Bedard cites HIV/AIDS drug approval as a case where the administrative leadership made reasonable shifts.
RFK Jr. has a lot to say about HIV/AIDS and those shifts, things like "AIDS is caused by poppers." via

My aunt mentioned Kaposi’s Sarcoma just yesterday.
“I’ve noticed that people have the same kind of liver spots on their faces as men did 30-40 years ago. Wasn”t it a result of HIV infection?”

Well, yes, there is that. As an example: If this means what we think it might mean, we may already have lost. Kaposi Sarcoma, UK, showing a huge increase in the last year.

I remember the day I learned a friend had a weird diagnosis of some rare cancer, way back, before HIV/AIDS started making headlines, and before we learned its role in Kaposi's Sarcoma. He died shortly thereafter. His twin brother followed a year or so later. And so it went on, and on. This is huge!
