About

Born in 1971, White contracted HIV through a contaminated blood treatment for his hemophilia. As a result, he faced discrimination and exclusion from his school in Indiana. This sparked a media frenzy that eventually led to national recognition and a change in public perception of the disease. White's story brought attention to the issues surrounding HIV/AIDS and the stigma associated with it. Despite the hardships he faced, White became an advocate for education and acceptance and played a crucial role in the passing of the Ryan White CARE Act, which provides funding for medical care and support services for individuals living with HIV/AIDS. White passed away in 1990 at the age of 18, but his legacy lives on through the continued efforts to fight against discrimination and provide support for those affected by HIV/AIDS.
