The medical community is not exempt from homophobia, Gladden said.
"It's almost like cancer was in the beginning," he said. "As the disease ages and as we get farther into the AIDS epidemic, I think that will change."
"I think society as a whole is homophobic," he said, "Some of the medical community is homophobic. It is proportionate to what society feels."
Hysteria, stigmas hurt fight against AIDS, speaker says
'Carnaval' to celebrate Brazil's Mardi Gras with dance tonight
By Katherine Manweiler Kansan staff writer
Stigmas and fears about AIDS need to be destroyed so people can put energy into fighting the disease, a speaker told about 60 people at a Pre-Med Club meeting last night in the Kansas Union.
The speaker, Tim Gladden, office manager for the Good Samaritan Project in the Kansas City area, learned that he had the HIV virus in August 1989. Gladden said people affected by AIDS had to fight homophobia as well as the disease.
It is Carnaval, the Mardi Gras festival of Brazil, and it is coming to Lawrence tomorrow night.
Krystyn Riddle, Overland Park senior, said she hoped to work as a volunteer for the Good Samaritan project for a year before entering medical school.

"I think the medical community is willing to do full battle with this disease," Riddle said. "It is completely elusive right now."
The Good Samaritan Project is the largest AIDS service organization in the Kansas City area. The organization has 11 staff members and serves more than 700 clients who have been affected by AIDS.
"AIDS has taught me how to really look at my life and live it one day at a time," he said. "I'm not guaranteed tomorrow. No one in this room is guaranteed tomorrow. The only difference is that I'm constantly reminded about the fact that I'm going to die someday."
Special to the Kansan
Magic Johnson's decision to go public has helped encourage acceptance and education about AIDS, Gladden said.
Sequined, brightly painted and feathered bodies sway to the samba rhythm in the old opera house. Crepepaper streamers and brightly colored parrots decorate the hall.
"The more AIDS has a face, the more people are going to get involved," he said. "AIDS has been a disease of numbers, and now it has a face."
Todd Clayman, president of the Pre-Med Club, said people who considered medical careers needed to take a holistic view of AIDS to deal with the disease effectively.
Gladden said it angered him to see Johnson portrayed as the fortunate special victim of the disease.
"As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter who you are," he said. "Everybody with AIDS is just as special."
Dealing with the disease has taught Gladden to take a positive approach to life, he said.
"If these people do become doctors, there is no doubt that they're going to run into patients with the disease," Clavman said.
The Brazil-Portugal Association, a KU student-community group, is sponsoring its 14th annual Carnival, held at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
The party, which sold out the 550-person capacity hall last year, brings together diverse groups from the Lawrence community as well as people from the surrounding area.
"I think it is kind of unique around here," said Katia Silva, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, graduate student and one of the organizers of the party.
Party-goers will dance to traditional samba music, as well as frevo, a style of music from northeastern
Brazil. Frevo comes from the Portuguese word "ferver," which means "toheat."
The association also plans a cost contest with prizes in four categories: best male, best female, best couple and best overall.
Silva said the Portuguese introduced the celebration, which preceded
The term "carnaval" is derived from a Latin phrase meaning, "no more meat."
What makes Carnaval different from other Mardi Gras celebrations is that it has been modified by ethnic groups in Brazil such as the African Youbata tribe, Silva said.
"You really get lost in the holiday," he said. "It's almost as popular as soccer."
Beginning tomorrow and ending Tuesday night, Carnival in Brazil is celebrated at private and public parties and in the streets.
Iani Moreno, San Salvador, El Salvador, graduate student who studied in Brazil, said the festival brought people together.
*Everybody goes home only to change their clothes and then go back
Each school votes on its colors,
dance song and Brazilian theme, Silva
shows.
"Some themes are historical," she said. "1988 was the 100-year anniversary of the abolition of slavery, so many schools chose that as their theme. Other themes have to do with people deal with their day-to-day problems."
Silva said a festival highlight was a demonstration by neighborhood samba schools.
Tickets for Carnaval are $5 in advance or $6 at the door and can be purchased at the Student Union Activities office, the department of Spanish and Portuguese or Liberty Hall. Because alcohol will be served, tickets will be sold only to those 21 years old or older.
