Students gather in JCC lobby for AIDS memorial service.
"Now we know that the
blood supplies from 1978 to
1983 were contaminated
with HIV," Mrs. Gerus said.
"These are the same sup-
plies medications are made
from."
Mrs. Gerus and her hus-
band learned they were HIV-
positive through a study in
which hemophiliacs and
their families participated.
The couple has a seven-year-
"MJAC's Youth Day
gave AIDS a face to
relate to."
Rabbi Paul Yedwab
old daughter. She is HIV-
negative.
"I wanted to have more
children, but I can't," Mrs.
Gerus said. "I never thought
AIDS would affect me; it
took me a couple of years to
quit denying this was a prob-
lem for me."
Students also heard from
Susan Efros, who lost her
brother, Harvey Berkowitz,
to AIDS last September. He
was 26.
"Harvey was healthy up
till last May," Mrs. Efros
said. "The last three months
of his life, he couldn't com-
municate at all. When he
came home, our entire fami-
ly took part in his care."
Mrs. Efros and her family
donated a section to the
AIDS Quilt last week.
Students never got to hear
from Grant Collins, another
member of the Sunday
panel. Robert Lebow told the
audience Mr. Collins was in
the hospital "with another
illness doctors can't diag-
nose." Mr. Collins lives with
full-blown AIDS.
"Grant wanted to be here
so much," Mr. Lebow told
students. Mr. Lebow and Mr.
Collins have lived together
for 11 years, the last five
coping with the AIDS virus.
"When we went public
about a year ago, Grant was
virtually disowned by his
family," Mr. Lebow said.
"But we can't even begin to
count the love and support
we've received from our
friends and neighbors, even
strangers who've heard our
story."
Throughout the morning
session, the panel stressed
three facts: AIDS is hard to
get. AIDS can only be
transmitted through in-
travenous drug use and un-
protected anal, oral and
vaginal sex. AIDS can be
avoided through abstinence
or the use of a latex condom.
Neil Sitron, 15, and Danny
Newman, 16, heard the mes-
sage. "A condom is a small
price to pay if it can save
someone's life," they both
agreed. ❑
