After her death it was revealed that Gia Carangi was, unfortunately, a heroin addict, and probably contracted the HIV virus from sharing syringes and needles with other addicts.
This is from the website of "The Gia Carangi Project", to inform people about AIDS/HIV. :
"Once upon a time there was a girl named Gia. She was beautiful and happy. She was popular and adored by many. But then one fateful day she decided to do some heroin. The high she got every time she shot up allowed her to escape the way she always dreamed she could. Sadly, she got addicted to the drug and lost everything. Her beautiful career and all her friends were gone. Like a shooting star Gia disappeared. She got AIDS and then she died.
Gia's story, when presented so bluntly, conveys the harsh reality of addiction and its consequences. At the end of 2004, around 500,000 Americans were living with AIDS - 21% were injection drug users. Gia died almost 20 years ago of the same disease that has infected over 40 million people around the world. "
