Rock Hudson sent a wave of shock around the world this year with three words: I have AIDS. Immediately, Acquired Im- mune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was the most talked about and one of the most feared issues in the world. Rumors in the movie industry prompted the Screen Actors Guild to make the announce- ment that open-mouthed kissing was a possible health hazard, and informed producers that actors must be notified when they are hired if the role will require such an act. Court mandates forced public schools to allow students afflic- ted by the disease to attend classes. Public sentiment and petitions forced those same students back out of the class- room and into their homes. But one of the saddest reali- ties about the disease is that there is no known cure, but since Hudson ' s announcement, more than 1.8 million in private contributions have been raised to support AIDS research and to care for AIDS victims.
