A traveling exhibition from the National L ibrary of Medicine supplemented with local HIV/AIDS history and current st ate provided by SAN (Spokane AIDS Network.)

\n

The National Library o f Medicine produced Surviving and Thriving: AIDS\, Politics\, and Culture\ , guest curated by historian and educator Jennifer Brier\, Ph.D. The trave ling exhibition and companion website tell the story about a new disease t hat appeared in the United State in 1981. Reactions to the disease\, soon named AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome)\, varied. Early responder s cared for the sick\, fought homophobia\, and promoted new practices to k eep people healthy. Scientists and public health officials struggled to un derstand the disease and how it spread. Politicians remained largely silen t until the epidemic became too big to ignore. Activists demanded that peo ple with AIDS be part of the solution. Surviving and Thriving illustrates an iconic history of AIDS alongside lesser-known examples of historical fi gures who changed the course of the pandemic.
