Unfortunately, these names are only the beginning of a list that could go on endlessly. Famous people do offer some hope to those living with AIDS. An example being Rock Hudson at the time of his death there were only 8000 reported AIDS cases in the U.S.. The general public was not educated in this area they had to learn about the virus. At this point education of the American public began its tedious route. A quater-million Americans have died of AIDS since Rock Hudson and 40,000 new people become victims of the HIV virus each year in the U.S.. This should tell you people are not getting the message, AIDS does not discriminate and there is no cure.
