My friend Stef pointed this out:
My dad said he would have reacted differently 30 years ago to the news that I had HIV, mostly because the stigmas attached to HIV 30 years ago were of death, gays and drugs.
Stef said that he probably would have reacted differently not just because of the stigmas 30 years ago but also because I would have been a 3 year old going up to my father saying "Dad I have HIV but not to worry I went on the computer and did my research, I started a blog and checked out supplement information on the internet." My Dad would be furious - "What is this internet and where the hell did you get a computer? Did your mom buy this?"
