HIV/AIDS Hits Home

A Personal Testimony
By Alabama State Rep. Laura Hall
First Published: 12/1/2007

It was 1988 when my son was diagnosed with AIDS. He was 22 at the time—he died at 25. He had had a nagging cough that he just couldn’t get rid of and my husband and I suspected something.

After some time, we got him to go to the doctor. We got the results the week after we had buried my dad, and he was here visiting us. We tried to talk about it, but he just said, “I don’t care what you do. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”
