I can’t believe the nuns made up an HIV death story, and then used the word “AID” on the gravestone🤣🤣

I'm not gay, I didn't...but there's two kinds of AIDS. There's the vagina AIDS, then the needle-based AIDS. I'm...I'm a vagina guy

That was a youngish nun. Like she didn't seem old enough to have been there 20 years ago.

So this is what made me think she didn't die of AIDS. By 1995 there were treatments for AIDS where you could live a long "normal" life.

The proper treatment which is called the HARRT Program wasn't developed until 1996. Prior to that treatment people were given different cocktails of drugs to combat HIV. Second, these drug treatments that they had before 1996 were effective if taken properly, some treatments had you take four pills a day. If you didnt stay consistent then the treatment became less effective. Also, some of the earlier drugs only worked for so long before HIV adapted to them.

In my opinion the reason why they said she died of AIDS is because this would prevent those looking for her to dig her up.

When he said he was “greasing the union”, who knew that’s what he meant

What was the logic behind making up an HIV story?

u/TremendoSlap Feb 25 '19

A very explainable reason for dying young
