This is a question for either medical professionals or the older amongst us in the GLBT community. I do not believe anyone younger than 40 is going to know.
In the 80's before the disease HIV was known, there was a term for the symptoms that we know all too well.
Carposi Sarcoma was amongst the most common symptom remarked upon in it.
It was considered, at that time, to be a solely Gay disease and this term reflected it. This term would have been from the middle 80's. I know HIV and AIDS was used in the late 80's.
I remember something called ARDS being associated with it but that was not the term.
