Abstract
Wrath of God syndrome, Gay-related Immuno- deficiency Syndrome, Gay Cancer, Gay Plague—these are the names AIDS had in the 1980s. False myths made uninfected people afraid to interact with affected individuals. A political cartoon of these times bitterly made fun of the prevailing attitude towards the disease, “It affects homosexual men, drug users, Haitians and hemophiliacs...Thank goodness it hasn’t spread to human beings yet (Black, 1985)."
