This project was part of my Biology of AIDS class. I had to investigate about the life of Gia Carangi, was of the first famous models that got infected with HIV during the 1980s where people still did not undertand HIV. This project helped me understand better the beginnings of HIV and AIDS, and how difficult these times were for people carrying the disease compared to nowadays. Gia contracted the HIV virus from sharing syringes and needles with other addicts. I learned that 21% of the cases of AIDS during 2004 were injection drug users. As a future physician it is important to understand diseases and their past and how society has changed the way of looking at the diseases.
