The HIV/AIDS epidemic radically changed public health policy, social attitudes toward gay men, and the course of LGBTQ+ history in the United States. This collection includes public broadcasting archival materials that demonstrate attitudes toward and responses to the epidemic. A resource for anyone interested in understanding how public broadcasting has covered HIV/AIDS, this exhibit places featured programs within a contextualized history of the course of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States and the U.S. response to AIDS in Africa following the decline of new cases in the U.S.

The exhibit was curated by two Library of Congress interns. Elizabeth Dinneny, a 2022 Library of Congress Junior Fellow and English PhD candidate at the University of Maryland, devised the exhibit and curated the sections on coverage of AIDS in the U.S. Sonia Prasad, an intern in the Library of Congress Archives, History, and Heritage Advanced Internship (AHHA) program and graduate of Williams College, curated the section on coverage of AIDS in Africa.

This project would not have been possible without the support of Mariah Marsden, Alan Gevinson, and Casey Davis. Thank you to those who helped make these programs available online: Robert Chehoski, Tina DiFeliciantonio, Peter Friedman, Amber Hollibaugh, Vivian Kleiman, Asad Muhammad, Richard Rasch, Gini Reticker, and Jane Wagner. Thanks also to the exhibit’s anonymous reviewer.
