I grew up in the time of HIV so I can't imagine what it would have bene like before....

Before the 1980s could people be promiscuous without much risk to their health? The worst they could catch was Herpes, which is just annoying but doesn't cause health problems?

What was it like before HIV????
 
I imagine it was much more secretive actually, promiscuity was not as accepted as it is today.. even though HIV is around now... back then people were ashamed, nowadays nobody cares. Maybe thats why HIV is so widespread.
 
They probably didn't have condoms or pills back then, so people probably only did it to get babies?
 
I wish I knew.

I came out in 1987, really at the height of AIDS hysteria.

I sometimes said that I wished I had been born 10 years earlier, but the reality is that, if I had been having sex in the 70s and early 80s, I probably would have gotten infected with HIV and wouldn't be here today.
