concerned1 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 These are photographs taken of an AIDS patient, clearly suffering from KS (Kaposi's Sarcoma). His name was Scott Mayfield, I think the photos were taken in 1986 and the bearded man in the photos with him was his nurse who worked at the hospice in New York City where he spent his final days. This type of AIDS patient is no longer seen in the wealthy Western, developed countries today thanks to antiretroviral drugs, and it makes me feel sad that people back in the 80s and early 90s who died from this terrible disease, didn't have a chance to get better with the drugs available today. Powerful images...there are more but I cannot upload due to having reached the maximum total size allowed. 1 Quote
