Poster made by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health.<\/p><\/div>\n

In 1981, a new disease appeared in the United States. As it spread, fear and confusion pervaded the country. The infectious \u201crare cancer\u201d bewildered researchers and bred suspicion, but the worry was not the same for everyone. Many feared contact with those who were ill. Others, particularly but not exclusively gay men, feared for their lives and the lives of loved ones.<\/p>\n

Reactions to the disease, soon named AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), were as varied as the uncertainties about it. Early responders cared for the sick, fought homophobia, and promoted new practices to keep people healthy. Scientists and public health officials struggled to understand the disease and how it spread. Politicians remained largely silent until the epidemic became too big to ignore. Activists demanded that people with AIDS be part of the solution.<\/p>\n

The title\u00a0Surviving and Thriving<\/em>\u00a0comes from a book written in 1987 by and for people with AIDS that insisted people could live with AIDS, not just die from it. This exhibition presents their stories alongside those of others involved in the national AIDS crisis. \u00a0Visit the Exhibition at the\u00a0National Library of Medicine website.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1982, \u00a0a group of four volunteers in Los Angeles set up an anonymous hotline to share what little information there was about preventing and recognizing the disease. This became one of the largest AIDS service organizations in the country, offering support and information in more than a dozen languages.<\/p><\/div>\n
