In the early 1980s, the group believed to be at high risk for AIDS primarily included gay men, particularly those living in urban areas. This association was largely due to the initial cases being documented among homosexual men, leading to the term "GRID" (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) before the broader understanding of the disease emerged. Other high-risk groups included injection drug users and individuals with multiple sexual partners. This early focus on specific Demographics contributed to significant stigma and misunderstanding surrounding the disease.
