AIDS: THE LOST VOICES
“DO NOT REVIVE - AIDS” was the suicide note left by grammar school teacher John Hutchinson, foreseeing his recent HIV test result being positive. We also look at two young men who took their own lives merely for ‘suspecting’ or ‘fearing’ they had HIV/AIDS given the stigma of 1988 where we learn they had nothing more than minor, common ailments and not HIV/AIDS.
AIDS, THE LOST VOICES
Will & Gloria stumble across prisoner Del Sinclair, who in 1985 featured in a national newspaper declaring he intended to ‘go straight’ and even publish a book on Prison food. However, 4 weeks later and back on remand Del tested HIV positive and faced threats of violence from other inmates. The pair also uncover several accounts of gay men who were denied post-mortems on the ‘suspicion’ of having AIDS.
