Last living Ray brother diagnosed with AIDS in late 1980s passes away 

Is sad they didn’t deserve it is not their fault they got AIDS from a blood transfusion. Is ignorance that’s the real disease.

So I grew up in the ‘80s and knew about Ryan White but this is the first time I’ve heard about these kids.

It was heartbreaking to watch these kids be mistreated...including Ryan White. I remember this story in the 80s but I didn't know they had passed away. My heart goes out to the parents. 😢

I remember Ryan. I was very little, but I will never forget him or Gia Carangi.

So much. It's so shameful.

there was so much negative vibes against AIDS

Wow. That is crazy to hear very heartbreaking

That sounds like ignorance and superstitions of medieval times. I can't believe they were treated so bad, no fault of their own, and were themselves victims.

@@mysteriousjz in the 80s very little was known about AIDS.which brought a lot of negativity towards the disease

⁠@@mysteriousjzhat this family has endured is awful and they have all been dehumanized. I grew up in the 80s. People were TERRIFIED of HIV/AIDS. Back then, everyone called it AIDS because they didn’t know any better. That is what was pushed through media and medical care. I am not making excuses for how these families were treated. I just want to shed light on the ignorance that came from the medical establishment, to media and then to the public. May God rest their souls and comfort their family. 🙏🏾❤️

I refused at a hemoglobin of point 2 after placenta complications. They were amazing doctors monitoring my levels so closely to see if they would rise. They gave me an iron transfusion instead and I got better. I was so pale for about two weeks but eventually my color came bake. I was so thankful.

❤❤❤ thank God dear sis. God bless you and the family ❤❤❤

❤️

Doctors always pressuring patients to receive blood when there are other alternatives to help a person survive...you are still alive but what health complicationa did the transfusion causd you?

Glad to hear it all worked out. I'm glad they have developed faster more accurate tests.

What does this mean? Serious question.

@@xraylife You're bad at trolling.

@@pringleberg6826 I am not trolling, just trying to get some truths out.

@@xraylifeYou are a real piece of work. You are as bad as those that ostracized this family for something beyond their control. May God forgive you for your cruelty.

To be FAIR, it was a deadly disease. And 'experts' would say it couldn't be transmitted by certain ways and then there were people that contracted it by those various ways. I wouldn't have wanted my child to be around someone with AIDS.

God bless Dr Abiola on youtube channel for the great work you've been doing in people's lives . I am a living testimony of your Hiv cure . Keep saving lives sir

Oh please people die from AIDS!!!

I'm not a bit ashamed of the shunning of filthy, perverts who unleashed this tragedy into innocent children and families!

You mean the way y'all look at people crazy for sneezing and coughing since COVID-19 came out? 🥴

I remember Ryan White... But I don't remember hearing about these kids either. Until your comment I was starting to think I was the only one!

Amen thanks for just willing to try something different in a positive way for life 🧬 good luck 🤞 and Rip ray 1,2,3 praying 🙏 for their love ❤️ ones

This family suffered greatly. Their house was even set on fire by people who didn't want them living in 'their' town. They eventually had to move to another state for the family's safety. Shame on ignorance.

@@magnus1001 Sadly, NIMBYisms of all kinds are still prevalent even 35 years later

@deeliciousgrapes Seeing that kid lying in the hospital bed dying brought me back to Jan-Feb 2023. It’s so sad to see someone you love in such a hopeless predicament. It was probably pneumonia that killed him. I witnessed the same thing earlier this year but my family member is alive & thriving now thanks to modern medicine. God Bless this family 🙏🏽

What the hell is all this talk about herpes?

Everyone who was dealing with AIDS at that time was terrible treated let me tell you., I remember the whole epidemic as a child one of my kids friend in my country I used to play with him his mother was infected with HIv by his father in less then a year he lost his father , his mother and his baby sister he was left orphan that’s the kind of fear people lived in those days in the 80s and 90s..

How did he have kids ?

@@kristingallo2158 it is 2023, it is multiple ways

@@wileyyj every cell in his body would carry that virus.

​@Samayah Legare yes, but his were born couple decades ago.

How come he lived so long-with full blown AIDS?

I never heard about this story as well, so heartbreaking..

Same here😢

Yeah, I replied to someone else that I was as an ‘80s child and knew all about Ryan White, he was a huge celebrity, but I don’t remember these kids. I feel so bad for these parents

Yup And the government just started allowing gay men to sell plasma/ donate blood again

​@@debbiegum2226 really? I thought that ban was still active, I'll have to look that up. With the inventions of modern medicine and technology, AIDS is essentially a nightmare from the past these days. You can live a normal life and not spread it to anyone, they're so close to having a cure, which is crazy to think about. .3% of the population has HIV, to treat an entire group of people like they have it is just archaic.

Lost a classmate to this in 1987. Fly high, Earl (Class of 1980).

And PARTLY the fault of people having irresponsible, unprotected sex!

@@22lyric shut the hayle up with your hateful comments

They didn't even have a way to detect it accurately back then. Early on they thought it was homosexual male only disease and that slowed research. It was in the mid 80's before they understood how it was transmitted. One big result was that it impacted how quickly they look at viruses and identify them. It resulted in the development of antiviral medications and they learned a lot about how to develop vaccines, especially with more rapidly evolving viruses. Blaming the hospital is easy in hindsight, but they didn't even suspect that it could be transmitted by blood transfusion early on. Now we know how to look for viruses, find antibodies, do viral loads, antibody levels and identify receptors for viruses effectively. This knowledge has led to better intervention for other viruses that have come along. It no longer decades to develop this information and develop effective treatments. People will still die from new viruses, but not anywhere near as many. Ebola was one of the first viruses that used used this new knowledge on. Unfortunately, vaccines for viruses aren't 100% effective and there are breakthrough cases. Polio helped to develop the technology and HIV helped evolve how long it took to figure out those processes. It is horrible that this family had to suffer through all of these losses and illnesses.

God bless Dr Abiola on youtube channel for the great work you've been doing in people's lives . I am a living testimony of your Hiv cure . Keep saving lives sir

Exactly! 😢 My beloved daughter passed away 3 years ago. She never hurt a soul. As much as I love life, it's has been tough living without her. Yes, I do think that life is unfair. Trying to navigate my way through this grief is hard. There are still some good folks still here on earth I know. That is how I get through it all.

am sp sorry fot the loss of your best friends brother

There is more to the whole story about what was known !

right. it was unleashed.

So sorry about your loss. But in 1982, the CDC virologists already had strong suspicions that this was a virus and it was blood-borne. The companies selling plasma products refused to destroy their products produced from samples taken as far back as 1975. By 1984 when the evidence was incontrovertible, they sent the old stock to Africa and Asia and destroyed the ones sold in the West. I remember treating a teenager with AIDS who got a transfusion as a kid sometime in 1990..he was a hemophiliac.

@@JudeEzekiel What cure? There is no concrete cure as yet.

That’s a wonderful story ❤Thanks to the program! So the program is still in affect then?!

@@Teupluohoney 😅 Actually this was the short comment.... Here is another I left on main page. Please read when you have time. I cant begin to explain how this makes me so mad. I work with infectious disease. I worked under the Ryan White Program. Ryan was kicked out of school & his state. I applaud the Ray's for standing up & speaking out. So little was known then & it was believed & labeled G.R.I.D -gay related immune deficiency which was absolutely wrong. It was found in Chimpanzees located in Africa. Due to the killing of them eventually the people who had open wounds (bushwhackers) received the disease & over years it mutated to a human form. It is called "risky behavior" that puts a person at risk....such as unprotected sex (hetero, homo doesn't matter), anal, open wounds, sharing needles, even the mouth due to lack of care (bleeding gums, etc. yet it does take a bit more exposure). NO TEARS are NOT a way to contract unless you know someone who can fill a 10 gallon bucket within an hour & you dunk your open wound in it for hours. HIV/AIDS is now less deadly than Cancer, Flu, Covid, Pneumonia, Diabetes, etc. as long as you KNOW YOUR STATUS & take care of yourself. There are different strands that the best way to describe is dumb or smart....dumb may never show up, if & when, some dont need meds, it doesn't have the intelligence to figure out the "DNA" of the meds if you are put on them. Smart strands can figure out the makeup of the medicine and it'll stop working which then your doctor will put you on a different medicine or a combination. HIV is no different than AIDS except for two things. One you have an opportunistic infection ("OI"- pneumonia, Kaposi sarcoma, etc.) & Your t-cells (immune soliders) drop below 200. You can fix both of those bring your t-cells up but you never go back to the HIV status but you could be healthier than a person who has never gone to the AIDS status. This is why people thought Magic Johnson was cured. He is not, he is undetectable. That means that in so much blood that you can find little or none therefore it is hard to be transmitted to another. Regardless you must disclose your status and still protect yourself and others. Please research and educate yourself as well as many others around you so that the stigmatism disappeas and people understand this disease. If you are positive, do not have insurance or your insurance will not cover the whole cost because the meds are very expensive please contact your local health department and ask for help under the Ryan White program or a program called ADAP. DON'T GIVE UP! Most people would be surprised at the people that they come in contact with (not sexually but friends, coworkers, acquaintances, neighbors) are positive. Open your mind and your heart. Learn therefore whether you are positive or not, you can help someone. You can teach, educate friends, family, kids, and stand up for them. Hopefully the more people know the cost of the meds decrease.

​@BRANDY D You are totally wrong about how aids came in the world. It wasn't found in chimpanzees in Africa, it was created in lab in South Africa by a wicked white Guy (.as usual) to exterminate African, then blame it on them. Wicked white man😌

Thanks for sharing…that’s incredible! My mom was one of only two nurses willing to work with AIDS patients.

@@ReineDeLaSeine14 Wow! Thank God for her, her dedication to her job, not choosing one's life over another & much more. Please give her a hug for me & tell her she is respected 💪🙌🦸‍♀️❤️

Shut up. How did one of the few doctors in all of the federal government who was trying the most to get the Reagan Administration to pay attention and commit funding for HIV/AIDS have anything to do with how people were treated? It was PREACHERS AND PASTORS - good ol ignorant Christians - who had everything to do with the stigma, ignorance and FEAR attached to HIV/AIDS, not university educated doctors who knew viruses had nothing to do with 'gods wrath' or 'sinful ways'. What garbage
