18 Phrases That Turn or Stomachs Worse Than AZT.

The other day I had a visit with my friend Brian, we are planning some future work together. He brought out a old school magazine from the early days of HIV (1990) The name is Disease Pariah News. It was photocopied on various colored paper . Pre-internet. I guess avocado green paper was the only option for making it pretty.

The magazine was totally poking fun at everything HIV. Laughing at the Social Workers that still to this day think they know how to "Fix" us. I was flipping through and found this list called 18 Phrases That Turn or Stomachs Worse Than AZT.

Brian and I had such a good laugh. Those boys were very witty.
I think the thing that is the funniest is that nothing has changed in 26 years except the medications.

The AIDS Committee of Toronto has many of these magazines on file. It was such good fun that I think I will bring them out once and a while.
