The Discovery of AIDS - 1983 First report on Brazilian TV
#AIDS
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the first cases of AIDS emerged in the USA. Watch the first Brazilian television report on this subject. At the time, the new plague was not yet known to the general public, and it was not yet well defined what it would be called: AIDS, SIDA, or as reporter Hélio Costa called it at the time, A.I.D.S. letter by letter.

By the way, people are evaluating the disease, the opening, even the background music, or whether they agree with the approach to the disease. Remember that it was the first in-depth report on the subject and that little information was available about HIV contamination, and everyone was learning together. In fact, at the beginning, the disease was called the GAY PLAGUE, due to the large number of homosexuals infected, as it is a virus transmitted through contaminated blood. Thus, the risk groups were, broadly speaking, those with promiscuous sexual lives, those who shared needles, and hemophiliacs, since at the time there wasn't the same rigor in controlling donated blood.
