    I’m from the UK so AIDS/HIV hit us after America but as far as I can tell we didn’t learn from you but had to experience it ourselves.

    I was diagnosed in 1985 a few weeks after Rock Hudson died.

    This podcast and episode 2 really get the point that it’s not history for some of us. It’s a lived memory.

    I was living in Sitges Spain, from 1982-85 so had the time of my life until I returned to london in October 85.
