This series came about because the AIDS pandemic was being denied/ignored as was lethal to a population Governments were not interested in protecting. Gay males, drug addicted persons who shared needles, and commercial sex workers. This series, was at a time before anti viral medication could reduce the virus to zero in the human body. The victims of AIDS and all the medical professionals involved with their care, were at a risk for their own lives, as one needle stick could infect the care giver (there was no fast test for HIV, it was 6 weeks) - the pandemic needed to be made visible. Every patient I made drawings of, had full blown AIDS. Very few survived long enough, to get the anti virals. - Sue Coe, reflecting back on the AIDS series, Feb 3, 2021
