She contracted the virus from her former husband, who died of the disease a year ago f-'idi er s plight helps to dispel the FISHER myth that A I D S afflicis only gay men and intra venous drug abuser* A large portion of the Mae Court crowd Thursday wore Uni versity and high school stu dwil*. one <d two group* more vulnerable to contracting the deadly virus, she said Fisher said adolescents and women were the two groups more at risk of rate hing the dis ease through heterosexual con tact In 1994, one out of four diagnosed cases were people under 20. she said "The virus is happy to find us and invade any one of us." Fish er said. “AIDS has only one eli gibility test You must he human." Currently, state health statis ttes show 1.000 cases of HIV have been reported in Oregon, t .700 of whom have died In I-ane County, 101 people have died from the disease out of a reported 1H1 cases She urged anyone who has had unprolix ted sox or shared a needle to get tested "I appeal to you as a colleague and a friend. a* someone who ha* no mom or It*** fears than you have, to at t responsibly," Fisher said. "If you have been at risk of AIDS, please get tested Whether you an* fat uity or stu dent* or administrators watt h • ng from the ba< k row of this auditorium or a distant class room or from the kitchen of your home, it doesn't matter ” Fisher also said even if the test results an* negative, she said she hopes the testing process will persuade people to be more ten*ful with their behavior "And if the test t on firms your worst fears and you are HIV-pos itive. 1 welcome you to join the millions of people like you who are pilgrims on the road to AIDS." she said Fisher fielded questions from the audience after her speech, including one asking whether or not AIDS education was ade quate enough to persuade peo ple to act responsibly or dispel myths about the disease We need to know all the facts .but what I'm most fond of telling you and when we talk about compassion, is the way we don't get this disease." she said. We don’t get this disease by loving one another, and wo don t get this disease by !>eing a friend or taking care of each ot her."
