Yes, he lost so many folks to AIDS and he was so bad and evil and cruel during his Addiction Years and he's alive and healthy and so many folks he knew were so kind, compassionate and died and he lived. I'm sure he felt very guilty for a long time.

Was diagnosed HIV+ in 92, at age 21, in Paris, France. Was negative before, I was put on a trial medication, and was the right one...now I am 51, just so much sadness for the people I have lost! Even with the medication available, had friends choosing to let themselves go... tried to explain my case, but the stigma associated with this disease was stronger than my survival. Loosing people we love is for me a nightmare, difficult to live with. Am alive, remembering every day the loved lost ones....🙏❤️🙏

We have fought an undeclared war for seventy plus years in America. So many lost their battle to live. But in my opinion they are still walking and rising with us who made a contribution and keep them alive and kicking through our endless devotion, love, courage and dignity.

We were the lucky one's. I was in 1989. I was 24. Lived in rural KY. and never thought of it being here. At one point I was going to 3-4 funeral a week. I always thought I would be next to go. But due to the fact one doctor in Lexington, KY took the time and he work so hard to make sure , I lived to tell my story. It was hard years for a long time. I took everything there was to take in stage 1-3 studies. Some of the drug had really really bad side effects but, I am still here in 2023. That song makes we want to be able to go back to that time and save those poor people. If they only knew then what they do now. That one song that bring tears. It just makes it seem like yesterday. But when I stop and thing about it time has went on and it been years now but the pain of al that loss of dear sweet friends still hurts today. That song makes me thing of the greatest love in my life. That damn virus got him and he died from it and for years I want to go with him. I was ready to go. I was just waiting for it to kill me off and I wanted it to. I miss Michael. I miss him so much that it makes my heart still hurt as if it was yesterday. Thirty one years has passed but, it feels as if it was only yesterday. I have never found that love again and so with all that is going on now with my health it will not be long. He told me when my time come he would be waiting for me. I know how you feel as you see. I was willing to go in his place. The dr told me it was not my time. He said one day Terry the two of you will be together again and you will leave have to leave him again.

You are very lucky, I lost many beautiful loved ones, the drugs were good for some, but not for all. Elton John has been an amazing Angel! His dedication to finding a cure is a remarkable success, him with some big monsters like Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Ryan White and his mother, the amazing foundation they created and the endless contribution of millions of people worldwide, I’m seriously hoping that the cure is here and that we stop spreading it to innocent human beings.

pjrubin1 At the same time, speaking of only gay men, we need to get off the drugs and risky behaviours that come with it. I watched tons of my friends die in the 80's and 90's and now the prevailing attitude is "well, they have meds that can keep me alive so why not Party and Play?" By doing that, they are not honoring the ones who died when this was still a mystery and an often slow and ugly way to die. But humanity is humanity, and we straight/gay love sex. In the heat of the moment these days, no one thinks clearly.

Increíble... Recuerdo cuando en mi país salió la Ley del Matrimonio Igualitario, la Plaza estaba llena y sonaba esta canción tal vez porque se celebraba la vida. Un amigo gay bromeaba y me presentaba como "su amigo" recuerdo que alguien se me acercó para decirme no se que y le dije "tienen razón, siempre tuvieron razón, sigan luchando, nosotros también estamos con Uds." no se por qué lo dije, fue lo que me salió. Él se emocionó y yo la verdad no supe que mas decir... Bien, lo puedo decir ahora, son mis hermanos: GRACIAS A TODOS LOS COLECTIVOS MILITANTES POR SU LUCHA, SU LUZ Y SU FUERZA, GRACIAS POR ENSEÑARNOS A SER MEJORES, VARONES, MUJERES GRACIAS POR ENSEÑARNOS A SER MEJORES PERSONAS, NO HAY "USTEDES" NO HAY "NOSOTROS" SOMOS LA SOCIEDAD ARGENTINA.

How isolating at a time when they would need love and support. Reading ‘And the band played on’ I often wonder how many 100s of thousands could have been saved if there had been the right funding for research and education at the beginning. Everyone was let down so badly by the government at the time, terrible 😞
