By October of 1992, however, a curious series of things had happened: When the Circle Repertory Company premiered Kramer’s play, The Destiny of Me, that month at New York’s Lucille Lortel Theater as a benefit for Gay Men’s Health Crisis—another organization which Kramer founded—Fauci was in the audience.
The first wave of the epidemic, in gay enclaves on both coasts—places like Greenwich Village, West Hollywood and San Francisco—was heralded by a mix of patient complaints both esoteric and mundane: a rash of otherwise healthy young men coming down with normally rare diseases like Kaposi’s sarcoma and pneumocystis pneumonia, odd yeast infections, suffering inexplicable immunological failures; another group in the same cohort suffered with chronic fevers, night sweats, swollen glands, illnesses sometimes transient, sometimes not, again without good explanations and not responsive to treatment.
“That began a relationship over many years that allowed me to walk amongst them,” Fauci says. “It was really interesting; they let me into their camp. I went to the gay bath houses and spoke to them. I went to San Francisco, to the Castro District, and I discussed the problems they were having, the degree of suffering that was going on in the community, the need for them to get involved in clinical trials, since there were no other possibilities for them to get access to drugs. And I earned their confidence.”
