I remember this well--maybe not the exact date, but this was a big deal when I was in school. On this in 1984, Margaret Heckler, President Reagan's secretary of health and human services, announced the discovery of AIDS. I am so glad that science has come so far in treating this horrible disease, but I remember the scare and misconceptions concerning this disease.

Education is the key to ward off fear. I hope that research continues and eradicates this horrible disease.
ReplyDeleteWow I didn't know it was that early! I thought it was in the 70s that they found it. I am so happy to know how far we have come!
