Candy Anderson

Candy Anderson, a learning specialist, describes how, at first, she did not pay much attention to the AIDS epidemic, but started to more as it became increasingly reported on on news stations due to the rising death toll and celebrities coming forth with their diagnoses. She goes into popular sentiments surrounding AIDS as that time — from treating AIDS patients like Lepers and saying that AIDS was God’s punishment for homosexuality — to the panic it caused when there was confusion around transmission methods.
