In October of 1990, I just turned 27. I felt fine and went for my annual physical. I am a gay White man. My doctor informed me that I had "tested positive for he virus that causes AIDS " and haf 2-5 years left. Words can't describe how I felt......Im 60 now and look back in amazement. What a horrible, horrible time. God Bless ALL, RIP and remember with dignity those we lost, be good to all in these petty, tribalized times, "Live in the Light," and avoid the hate and darkness. ❤ from Jeff in NYC.

Poor Ryan White, just an innocent victim of the times. A child , just a child with a horrific illness. He and his family were tortured by this disease. He deserved so much more than he got out of life. He should be alive today. God bless you Ryan, may you rest in peace. 💔

I didn't see Arthur Ashe's name on here. Maybe I missed it during the scroll.

The 80s and 90s has to have been among the cruelest eras. These are the very visible faces but they are representative of a vast worldwide group of people who truly died much too soon. I'm very saddened by this. ❤💔

There's no proof that the "virus" killed someone. It's a test which said you're positive and after that you start an treatment full of chemicals. Most probably the treatment killed many of these people and not the virus. There's tons of I fo about the subject and how big pharma profits from

Robert Mapplethorpe also hass HIV/AIDS, but is not in the list.

The most shocking loss to me was Rock Hudson. The man could have had any gal on the planet that he wanted, yet he chose a different lifestyle that may have been what ultimately cost him his life.

Why is Kenny Everett only listed as ‘English Radio DJ’?

Glad you have Tim Richmond on here, but you left off CCR rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, MTV Real World star Pedro Zamora, and tennis star Arthur Ashe from this list.

T. Fogerty had received an unscreened blood transfusion that was suspected of infecting him with the aids virus. Complications led to tuberculosis, which was declared his cause of death.

You might want to re-evaluate your list to include the names mentioned by other commentators; there's no doubt you've missed some really big, influential names. Also, you might want to double check for accuracy that some of these individuals did in fact succumb to AIDS/HIV as the cause of death based on fact on not hearsay (I know of one on your list that was rumored to have died from AIDS/HIV but was never proven through records or other media).

😢 Very Sad and Rest in peace 🕊️ eight minutes shocking 😔

Poor Kenny Everett! You didn’t even put his name let alone get his job right. Sure, he WAS a DJ, the DJ who first played Queens Bohemian Rhapsody on the air but he was much better known for his TV shows such as the Kenny Everett Television Show where he played many characters such as Sid Snot, Brother Lee Love and Marcel Wave And Cupid Stunt. Who could forget Cupid Stunt? The whole show was ‘all done in the best _possible_ taste!’

Always watched the Kenny Everett video show especially for Captain Kremmen. Don't ever remember a character called Cupid Stunt- cool name though. Listened to Kremmen of the star corp on the local radio back in the 80s and early 90s too.

The majority of them died between the years 1985 and 1995, when AIDS was at its peak.

I didn't see Tommy Morrison...

I don't know about 90% of them, but may they all be resting in peace.🕊

Billy Bo, a Greek fashion designer also died of HIV.

Israeli singer Ofra Haza. Well-known in Europe.

Tommy Morisson (1969- 2013) American professional boxer - WBO heavyweight title in 1993 - took part in Rocky 5 film 1990
