It began in 1981 as a medical mystery.
There was no official name, no known cause, and no hope for a cure. At first, it mostly showed up in gay men—some of the most marginalized people in the United States at that time. At its worst it killed more than fifty thousand Americans in a single year.

In what turned out to be an era of denial, fear, and unimaginable loss, countless brave activists confronted this devastating syndrome. They organized and protested for recognition, for life-saving research funding, and for the basic civil rights of people with AIDS.
