Ryan White Aids Perception

For this years NHD topic I choose to do Ryan White. Ryan White was diagnosed with HIV at the age of 13 through a blood transfusion.During research I visited the ryan white website which was closed down shorty after I visited it.However this website contained several information on Ryan white.I learned that during Ryan`s time many people didn`t know much about AIDS/HIV, and AIDS/HIV was known as a "gay disease".This year I didn`t find NHD as difficult as it was last year. If there was anything different that I could have done for this years NHD topic, I would have found more primary sources and also explain how this individual related to the topic politically, economicly, and also socially.
