Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, little was known about the disease, and how it was transmitted. There was a great deal of fear and uncertainty surrounding the illness, and many people believed that it was only contracted by individuals who were engaging in immoral behaviors. This fear and stigma led to patients being ostracized and discriminated against, even by healthcare workers.
