Didn't Elizabeth Glaser have a life before she became infected with HIV? I have a memory that she worked for a museum or something similar, and presumably she was born somewhere and also attended school somewhere. Perhaps someone who knows these details could add them.68.72.105.83 13:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-03T13:31:00.000Z","author":"68.72.105.83","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-68.72.105.83-2007-07-03T13:31:00.000Z-Pre-AIDS_Life?","replies":[]}}-->

MTCT Claim

__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-MTCT_Claim","replies":[]}}-->

I do not think that the "two most common forms of MTCT" statement is correct. Delivery and breast-feeding are the two most common forms of MTCT, while transmission in utero is quite rare. It is the trauma of delivery itself that raises the risk of infection, and the prolonged exposure to the virus from breast-feeding that cause these two modes of transmission to be the most common among MTCT.

It's wonderful that her son's HIV is kept in check by modern medicine, but I it's a big stretch to call him "healthy". Would you take a transfusion from him? No indictment of her good work or that of her son, but people with controlled-HIV are not "healthy" by any means.

Old comment. Nonetheless, "healthy" has multiple definitions. Looking through a sampling, disease-free is common though not universal. A few definitions depend on how the person feels rather than their disease status, and this is the one that is meant. Perhaps saying "healthy HIV positive adult" would be clearer though I won't make the change myself since the actual meaning is apparently clear to both of us. 75.76.162.89 (talk) 11:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-08-05T11:08:00.000Z","author":"75.76.162.89","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-75.76.162.89-2012-08-05T11:08:00.000Z-206.19.210.8-2007-12-03T18:39:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

It is incorrect to say that the medical community undertood very little about HIV/AIDS in 1985. In fact the virus had been isolated and the medical community knew a great deal about both HIV and AIDs by 1985. There were many supportive treatments available for the opportunitistic infections that came with AIDS. There remains many disease whose causative agents haven't been isolated and only supportive treatments are available to the ill. The challenge facing medical researchers was to create a treatment tailored to prohibit the various processes HIV go through in converting RNA to DNA. The cupboards were bare in terms of medicines available to treat a human retrovirus. The fact that medical science was able to develop drug cocktails in about ten years to turn AIDS from a deadly disease to a chronic but manageable disease is quite amazing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.114.255.7 (talk) 13:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-04-22T13:05:00.000Z","author":"24.114.255.7","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-24.114.255.7-2015-04-22T13:05:00.000Z-Reject_the_premise_that_the_medical_community_knew_very_little_about_AIDS_and_fe","replies":[]}}-->

Early life and marriage

Glaser was born in Manhattan, the daughter of Max Meyer (1916–1998) and his wife Edith (1919–2003), and grew up with her brother Peter in Hewlett Harbor, New York; her father was the CEO of Ex-Lax. Glaser was a sister of Alpha Epsilon Phi at the University of Wisconsin, and also attended Boston University, earning a master's degree in early childhood education. She became a teacher, and a director of the Los Angeles Children's Museum. Elizabeth married Paul Michael Glaser in 1980.^{[citation needed]}

Illness

In August 1981, Elizabeth contracted HIV through blood transfusions she received due to complications before the birth of the couple's first child, Ariel. She did not find out that she had unknowingly passed the virus on to Ariel through breast milk, and that her son, Jake (born October 1984) had contracted the virus in utero until four years later, when she, Ariel, and Jake tested positive for HIV in 1985. Her husband, Paul, tested negative for the virus.^{[citation needed]}

Legacy

Mourning the loss of her daughter and determined to save her surviving child Jake, along with other HIV-positive children, Glaser co-founded the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation in 1988, with friends Susan DeLaurentis and Susie Zeegen. Glaser's work raised public awareness about HIV infection in children and spurred funding for the development of pediatric AIDS drugs as well as research into mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV. Glaser's children received the virus through two of the most common means of MTCT.^{[citation needed]}
In 2000, Alpha Epsilon Phi adopted the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation as their national philanthropy. Ariel later had a Beanie Baby named in her honor with the logo being a picture she drew when she was five.^{[citation needed]}
