HIV testing wasn’t readily available, and health care workers were reluctant to disclose a “hopeless” diagnosis. When Dominique “came out” publicly with his HIV diagnosis, the focus of the struggle against the epidemic in Africa had begun to shift away from epidemiological surveillance and public awareness campaigns aimed at increasing condom use. Worried that the campaigns weren’t working, international agencies bemoaned what they called a “culture of denial.” They emphasized the need to “put a face” to the disease. The number of Africans getting tested for HIV must increase, they insisted. More individuals like Dominique would need to “come out” publicly about being HIV positive. I first began to work in West Africa the same year Dominique testified. I remember first hearing about a mysterious and terrifying new epidemic, reported in gay men in 1982, in my first year of university.","PeriodicalId":220476,"journal":{"name":"The Republic of Therapy","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114466040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
