'It was wartime': 3 survivors of the AIDS epidemic share the hard lessons on love and resiliency they learned in the '80s that are helping them make it through the coronavirus crisis

The LGBTQ seniors interviewed below experienced this firsthand — they have all dedicated their careers, either in public health or the arts, to fighting HIV stigma.

"He could barely move in his hospital bed, but he wanted me to be near him to listen to opera cause that's what we did together," Garrett said. "What I did learn from the AIDS crisis is that we all can be a part of the solution." "With the coronavirus, you can't really be there with that person," Garrett said. "Call their families and let them know that you're thinking of them and get them some compassion and love." During the AIDS crisis, Terrill, director of the Aids Healthcare Foundation, said he learned the importance of urgency when working with his first AIDs-related client at a center for vision loss.

"Prior to a pandemic like this, we are all pretty complacent," Terrill said. "We go about our daily lives and we never really think about the idea of transmitting a virus from touching or not touching something." "They are alone, they are depressed, don't have good mental health care and their community has abandoned them," said Karpiak. "The fear of HIV/AIDs continues to this day."
