When I think of the 90's I think of a time of progression in America. Maybe it is because I have a passion to to reach out to people with HIV and also educate people of what the virus really is. During the 90's effective drug treatment that targets HIV was established, people were actually beginning to pay attention to the effects. Antiretrovirals were introduced in the mid 90's which profoundly aided those suffering from HIV/AIDS. The medication helped with the fatalities brought on by pneumonia and other illnesses. The 90's was also a time when celebrities began to come forward about them being infected with the virus. Earvin "Majic"Johnson came forward in 1991 revealing that he was HIV positive and to date he still remains HIV+ it has not matured to AIDS status. Eric Wright also known as NWA rapper "Easy-E" died of AIDS on March 26, 1995.
One of my favorite movies also came out in the 90's. "Love Jones" was the first movie where I noticed the soundtrack sold as well as the movie. Soundracks were very popular in the 90's, today you rarely hear of soundtracks being associated with movies except for cartoons or teen movies.
