Talk:Elizabeth Glaser

message: Didn't Elizabeth Glaser have a life before she became infected with HIV?  I have a memory that she worked for a museum or something similar, and presumably she was born somewhere and also attended school somewhere.  Perhaps someone who knows these details could add them.68.72.105.83 13:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Pre-AIDS Life?

message: It's wonderful that her son's HIV is kept in check by modern medicine, but I it's a big stretch to call him "healthy".  Would you take a transfusion from him? No indictment of her good work or that of her son, but people with controlled-HIV are not "healthy" by any means. Be real and stop being P.C.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.19.210.8 (talk) 18:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Old comment. Nonetheless, "healthy" has multiple definitions. Looking through a sampling, disease-free is common though not universal. A few definitions depend on how the person feels rather than their disease status, and this is the one that is meant. Perhaps saying "healthy HIV positive adult" would be clearer though I won't make the change myself since the actual meaning is apparently clear to both of us. 75.76.162.89 (talk) 11:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: "Healthy" Son

message: It is incorrect to say that the medical community undertood very little about HIV/AIDS in 1985. In fact the virus had been isolated and the medical community knew a great deal about both HIV and AIDs by 1985. There were many supportive treatments available for the opportunitistic infections that came with AIDS. There remains many disease whose causative agents haven't been isolated and only supportive treatments are available to the ill. The challenge facing medical researchers was to create a treatment tailored to prohibit the various processes HIV go through in converting RNA to DNA. The cupboards were bare in terms of medicines available to treat a human retrovirus. The fact that medical science was able to develop drug cocktails in about ten years to turn AIDS from a deadly disease to a chronic but manageable disease is quite amazing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.114.255.7 (talk) 13:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
