The gay capital of the world mourns its death.
A scene witnessed here in Sydney as the homosexual community silently remembers Australia's AIDS victims.
Scores have already fallen.
Dozens more know they're dying.
Singing for our lives. Glory drinking into silence. We are fighting, fighting for our lives.
There's a lot of tears, there's a lot of thinking, a lot of sleepless nights.
You suddenly come to a realization that with the time you've got left, are you going to walk around with red eyes every day?
And one has to pull oneself together and get on with it.
John is a homosexual, which put him at risk right from the start.
Unlike little Lee Van Graafhorst, who contracted the deadly virus through a life-saving blood transfusion.
Was this inevitable, or was she and other blood recipients the victim of a most evil conspiracy?
There are claims that a small frustrated section of the gay community, concerned that governments and medical authorities would do nothing to combat AIDS
while it remained the so-called gay plague, embarked on political terrorism.
Prominent gay activist Paul Dexter alleges a conspiracy by a breakaway group of radicals
who deliberately spread AIDS infected blood to the straight society.
I don't think there's any question, I don't see any other, there isn't any other rational explanation.
I think there was a conspiracy, and I think there was very clever propaganda,
and I think that it was incomprehensibly evil.
It is true that the homosexual community in some states had been good donors of blood as a public service,
and perhaps the feeling around was that they should demonstrate their normality or also demonstrate their anger, if you like.
Could have been a fact, it would be a very difficult thing to check.
A letter to the New South Wales Prostitution Committee claims further evidence of an extremist minority campaign to spread AIDS through the entire community.
The writer, a King's Cross homosexual, says the group and the gay media are claiming to represent the entire gay community,
when in fact they're establishing paper empires to get government funds and couldn't give us stuff for their poor brothers and sisters.
He says quarantine is the only way to stop them spreading the disease.
If the truth was fully known, those being treated at this moment go from St Vincent's Hospital directly to gay bars in attempts to pick someone up.
The writer says bitchiness is a well-known trait within the gay community,
and getting even with past boyfriends is high on the list, or others they don't particularly like.
He says there is an ego spitefulness of getting even with everyone, and the straights in particular.
The allegations, which the Prostitution Committee Chairman Pat Rogan says can't be dismissed, claim open sex in the toilets of a favourite gay pick-up bar.
The writer says he saw a continual flow of men having sex with all comers, and in his opinion, one AIDS carrier could have infected at least 30 others.
While it's impossible to prove this conspiracy claim, we can prove that the AIDS blood plan was seriously considered.
Two years ago, gays in America discussed through their own news media a plan to ensure government research funding.
The idea was for all gay males to donate blood if the money wasn't forthcoming by a certain date.
They admitted it was political terrorism, but said government prejudice had forced their hand.
If it takes threatening and perhaps giving blood to get us the money, the research funds we need, that may be it.
The intimate links across the Pacific ensured the American plan became pillow talk down under.
What happened was that the main conspirators put out to their close friends this notion that there wouldn't be any help for gays, for AIDS, until it started to get into the straight community, and that was the reason that they went along with it.
Are we talking about, say, doctors referring people there, knowing that they had AIDS?
It's bizarre, but I think that happened.
I have material in my possession that shows that there's a high probability that that actually happened, and for a doctor to do such a thing is absolutely incomprehensible.
I don't believe it was stupid. The particular people involved were the neurologists. They knew what the disease was about, and I believe they did it on purpose.

From birth, viruses, microbes, and chemicals bombard our body.
Most are blocked by our skin, mucus in the respiratory system, fluids in the digestive tract.
The invaders that get through are called antigens, and our immune system prevents them taking over.
It works like this. A virus triggers an alert. Human T cells or helper cells multiply.
They stimulate production of B cells, which produce the antibodies to combat the infection.
The AIDS virus, however, short circuits the system and strikes at the T cells blocking their production of the B cells.
Because the T cells can therefore no longer prevent infection, invading viruses can now roam free,
a condition known as the acquired immune deficiency syndrome, AIDS.
But the infection itself in most people causes no symptoms whatsoever when they first acquire it.
In a small number, it will produce an acute illness, influenza-like illness, with a skin rash.
That settles down. That incident was first described by the group in Sydney.
And then the person is free of symptoms, but if they have a blood test done,
antibodies can be detected after a period of some weeks or several months.
Most of those people will stay well over the course of five years in the sense that they won't be seriously sick.
But about one in four or one in five will develop what we call an AIDS-related disease or lymphadenopathy syndrome.
Many of these will have enlarged lymph glands. Some will have diarrhea. Some will have repeated chest infections.
Some may have some mental difficulty.
And about one in ten, although the figures are not yet absolutely clear,
about one in ten of those that develop the infection with positive antibody tests will go on to develop AIDS within three to five years.
Does the cause of this terrifying chain lie within the animal kingdom?
The African green monkey carries a virus similar to AIDS,
and experts say a bite probably turned what was a rural disease 20 years ago into an urban epidemic.
Already one person in 20 carries the AIDS virus, and it's spreading so rapidly it's already endemic in Zaire, Rwanda and Burundi.
It's spreading through Uganda and the Congo, and the first cases are emerging in Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.
How it first left Africa is not so clear.
One theory is via blood, sold to America by starving third-world natives.
The second is via migrant workers who returned to Haiti, then America, infected by African prostitutes.
Either way, it's a disaster, with about two million people now affected.
I know a lot of people. I've been going to an awful lot of funerals.
It's like combat. You're seeing people who are your contemporaries dying right and left.
There's no conflicting theories, though, on how it got here to Oxford Street.
The late 70s and early 80s saw the gay tourist boom of all times, with thousands of gays flocking to their sister city, San Francisco.
I think when 1,200 homosexuals announced they were going to San Francisco for Gay Pride Week in June of 1983, action should have been taken.
At that point, there was an AIDS epidemic in San Francisco, and I'm certain now that those 1,200 men came back all as AIDS carriers
and have helped to spread the AIDS disease through the homosexual community and through them
and through blood transfusions to the heterosexual community.
The gay plague was here, but well before Australia's first confirmed AIDS case in 1982,
the Reverend Nile was laughed at in State Parliament when trying to warn of the future he saw.
No one's laughing now.
I made strong pleas in telegrams and letters to health ministers on the federal level, to Mr. Blewett,
to the State Minister for Health at that stage, Mr. Barretton,
and they virtually said, we'll leave the matter, this is almost a quake,
the dimensions of the problem do not warrant the kind of action that you suggest.
In other words, it seems to be a minor problem, let's wait, and if it develops into a big problem, we'll look at it again.
That was the first error they made in underestimating how serious the AIDS epidemic was.
Secondly, the letter also said, we are working with the gay community, the homosexual community,
and they will take action within their own ranks, and what it meant was,
the health department was saying that the health of this state is in the hands of the homosexual community.
You can trust them and they'll look after the community.
Well, no minority group, no matter who it is, should be responsible for the health of the overall community,
and that's where there was a serious breakdown.
They planned a weekend in the wilds, a weekend that would separate the men from the boys,
but they never imagined the nightmare that would take place, a nightmare where survival became their only objective.

Australia's gay population has long been commended for donating blood
in a system that relies on volunteers and their goodwill.
It was this system that opened the floodgates and turned the gay plague into our worst health emergency.
There's no doubt in the homosexual literature itself,
there were sufficient warnings printed in some of the issues of homosexual papers,
the staff, the one I saw, about that time and even a bit earlier,
which indicated that there was a risk of blood being contaminated with AIDS
and therefore infecting other people.
At that point, I believe every homosexual should have withdrawn himself from the blood transfusion service.
Now, if he continued at that stage, he was almost guilty of murder or manslaughter
in putting innocent people at risk, as much as a man that drove down the street in a car
and ran over a pram with a baby in it.
If that homosexual still donated blood, knowing he was in the highest risk group
then he was just as criminal in his actions.
And as we know, in Queensland, from a Sydney homosexual, 13 children were infected, three died.
Well, how do you think I feel about it?
I look in the newspapers and I see that little girl at Gosford
and I look at her and I think because I wasn't able to win the fight in 1983,
you've got LNS and it's very upsetting to me.
I mean, it's the most, it's the one thing in my life I think that I regret more than else
than I didn't fight harder, that I wasn't able to stop it.
It was just a juggernaut that I couldn't beat.
I couldn't stop them giving blood.
The blood bank realised more than two years ago the danger of gays giving blood
and expressed its fears in a letter to a prominent homosexual
who had sought clarification of the blood bank policy amid a growing crisis.
They certainly put a lot of pressure on the Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service
and I did hear one of the officials say that they were weighing up having a ban on homosexuals
and then they realised the anti-discrimination homosexual legislation
could have made the Red Cross vulnerable to be charged by a homosexual with discrimination.
And this official I heard speaking said we backed off and left it just to a card
that was put in the Red Cross asking homosexuals not to give blood.
I mean in my opinion that was almost criminal, irresponsible to treat such a serious health risk
in that way, leaving it to the person to make up their own mind whether they give blood or not.
It was too serious a matter.
What we did back in 1983 was talk to the blood bank about their announced policy.
Their policy was based on international advice.
It was Australian national policy from the Blood Transfusion Service.
They adopted that policy. We had no say in what was in it.
We agreed with it and we talked to them about how we might effectively get that information out to people
so that the people who were then seen to be at risk and therefore they didn't want them in the transfusion system
would withdraw from the system.
To the best of my knowledge nobody has ever donated contrary to the blood bank's guidelines
and the blood bank's guidelines were based on the best medical advice they had at the time.
But with hindsight they really shouldn't have been giving blood should they?
In retrospect we know a lot more about AIDS than we did then.
We didn't know that it was virally caused. We didn't know what the virus was.
The policy that has been adopted by the blood bank is in my opinion at all stages
has been based on the best medical advice at the time.
One way of informing high risk gays not to donate blood was through the gay media
which claimed it alone could avoid abuse of the facts.
But as it turned out some sections of it provided an incomplete scenario
which only added to the confusion and more contaminated blood supplies.
One article only half quoted a statement on the transmission of AIDS
originally published in the Medical Journal of Australia.
It failed to point out the possibility of AIDS being spread through blood products to hemophiliacs.
Another article, this time half quoting the straight media,
told readers that there was no risk of contracting AIDS through blood transfusions.
Well that was a misstatement to start with.
What I said at that time was that we had a volunteer blood transfusion service
as compared with the paid donor situation which applied in many parts of the United States
and that we had asked the male homosexual community,
particularly those with multiple partners, to refrain from donating blood at that time.
Now when we brought in these pleas for them to refrain from donating blood
it's true we talked about male homosexuals with multiple partners
and some of those who continued to donate were people who didn't have multiple partners
but their one partner was a person who did and it's true that that was not recognised as a risk factor.
So some of those who continued to donate were complying exactly with what was requested
and we didn't know enough about the incidence of the disease to be sure
that all male homosexuals ought to be excluded from donating blood at that time.
It could have had dire consequences in the years to come as people...
In hindsight it did.
Certainly there are people in the community who we believe are incubating AIDS
and we'll develop it from the sort of contact quite apart from blood transfusion
and also some from the transfusion products they've received in the past.
And so AIDS victims keep making headlines, a tragedy born of the confusion and abuse of the system.
I don't think we can take the matter on trust.
I don't think we can leave ourselves in the position where we say
well you pledged that you'll do nothing to infect other people
but what guarantee have we got?
Now I am genuinely sorry for people who contract AIDS
but they're a small percentage of the population
and what we have to be concerned about is the overwhelming majority of the population
who haven't got AIDS and who will not get AIDS
unless other people with the AIDS virus are reckless in their contact with other people.

It was the enormity of the situation and the general public's refusal to accept as gospel truth
any of the continually changing statements and counter statements
which pushed Premier Ran away from the softer trustless option offered by the gay community
and some medicaments, and the general public's refusal to accept as gospel truth
any of the continually changing statements and counter statements
which pushed Premier Ran away from the softer trustless option offered by the gay community
and some medical experts into the realm of hard law.
What the public wants is a proper public health program.
Now, some doctors and the gay community say, well, if you have a system of notification,
the sanctions, penalties for failing to notify and so on, that's going to drive people away.
And responding to that is, why should it?
It hasn't driven the syphilis sufferers away.
It hasn't driven the hepatitis B sufferers away.
I don't regard people who have contracted AIDS as having committed a crime.
Indeed, we're trying to get disabused people of that thought.
They're suffering from a highly infectious disease.
It's a crime, in my opinion, if you have AIDS and you knowingly give it to somebody else,
either by sexual intercourse or some other contact,
and do that without warning the person likely to be infected.
It's a very serious thing.
And I put myself in the same position as most members of the public.
I'm worried. I'm fearful of the thing.
I say to myself, well, if there's someone who's carrying the AIDS virus,
who is infecting other people,
shouldn't the ultimately that person's medical advisors do something about it?
Clearly, they should.
People who come in to be tested are very worried about confidentiality.
They're very concerned that somebody might find out they've been tested.
There's been a huge amount of media coverage of AIDS,
and especially in relation to people being, if you like, discriminated on the basis of the AIDS test,
travel through the airlines, children not being allowed to go into schools,
stories of people being dismissed from jobs or thrown out of accommodation.
So all of these things add to people's apprehension about having the test.
I think the only way of containing this disease is to get people to come in and be tested
before they're showing signs or symptoms.
If people wait until they're sick, it's too late for us to help them.
And that's the bottom line.
If you want public health surveillance and you want numbers and the pattern of the thing,
you've got to get people tested.
If you want people counseled, you've got to get them to come in and be tested.
They will if it's voluntary, but immediately you start bringing compulsion,
and immediately you put criminal sanctions on the consequences of people being tested,
then people will withdraw both from the testing programs and research.
It's a total disincentive and it's totally counterproductive to effective health policy.
The real problem about controlling the disease is finding out the people who wouldn't go to the clinic in any case.
The ones who are spreading the disease are the irresponsible members of the gay community
and also certain prostitutes who are infected and who are spreading the disease,
and there's nothing that's going to make them go to the clinic.
The most cooperative, the most welcome attitude that we can provide will not get them to go and be identified.
And the community has a right to have knowledge as to where the source of infection is
and also to have the power to stop it.
And while debate rages as to whether legislation will drive high-risk homosexual men away from the clinics,
Professor Pennington is more concerned by the unknown factor, the wild card in the pack.
The bisexual men who ordinarily do not identify themselves as homosexuals.
They lead married lives, normal lives in the community, but have occasional nights out,
maybe sometimes even once a week.
But still many of those do not regard themselves as homosexuals.
They just regard their occasional sexual contact with a man as something quite separate.
It's a very common problem.
Now those are the biggest worry.
They don't relate to the organizations of male homosexuals.
They don't listen to the sort of things which are being talked about within the male homosexual community,
as often as not.
They are a very real risk because they are spreading infection to their wives,
through their wives to children, their wives may bear.
They are our biggest group of concern.
Is it fear of identification that has plummeted attendances at AIDS testing clinics by 80%?
Perhaps not.
The Sydney AIDS Study Group in its literature urges those at risk to write letters to their local MPs,
and even suggest the inclusion of the following lines.
I was going to have the test, but now definitely will not.
Or, I have already rung up and got my doctor to destroy any records of my test.
Strange advice indeed from a group partly funded by the state government.
Many homosexual and bisexual men now say they'll head into state to avoid notification.
But there would be no escaping detection if the Reverend Fred Nile could get his way.
Compulsory testing for all high-risk groups.
We have to identify as quickly as possible every person in Australia who is carrying the AIDS virus.
That's a top priority.
It can't be just operate like a supermarket, please come in and see us.
It has to be more vigorous than that to identify.
How do you do that?
It's not easy.
And I think there should be legislation stronger than Mr. Rand is suggesting where it is compulsory.
For anyone in the risk groups, there is one high-risk group, that is the homosexual community.
They're number one.
Then there are the secondary risk groups that have been infected through the homosexual activists.
The prisoners, the prostitutes, the hemophiliacs, those who have had blood transfusions since 1981.
All those people should be blood tested urgently to try to identify just how serious,
how big is the AIDS epidemic in Australia so you can fight back.
