I remember that Reagan era well. The AIDS epidemic was just getting wound up and gays were dropping like flies. There was NOTHING coming from the Reagan administration
about preventive measures the public should use to avoid infection with this new _and supposedly_ little understood disease. Damn near no advice coming from the CDC or the FDA
or the Surgeon General's office. Nothing. There was exactly nothing about risks from oral sex or for that matter from bodily fluids. A sin of omission, but why would you expect otherwise from
such an administration. They could have done so much to prevent the spread of AIDS but I guess they hated the gays and kept silent hoping their numbers would diminish as the disease spread throughout their community.
