1985, December 31 (Tuesday) * K-W Record: K-W area records second case of AIDS

On p.?? of The Kitchener-Waterloo Record, 1985, December 31, Tuesday, there was an article by Sheila Hannon, Record staff, entitled “K-W area records second case of AIDS” In this article, it was noted that Dr. Gerard Evans, Waterloo Region's medical officer of health had indicated that in December of 1985 the second case of AIDS had been diagnosed in someone living in Waterloo Region; the first case had been diagnosed three years earlier, in 1982. The article also stated that (at the time) people usually lived only about three to five years after diagnosis, and that more than 90% of those who had contracted AIDS were homosexual or bisexual. The article also mentions Bill Allan in the following paragraph: “Bill Allan, a founder of the AIDS Committee of Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo and Area, said he has heard rumors of a confirmed case of AIDS. However, although he knows of several people, including himself, who suffer from AIDS-related conditions, he is unaware of anyone with a recent diagnosis of the full-blown disease.”
