AIDS Memorial Quilt Still Filled With New Names 35 Years Later

More than 36 million people have died from HIV/AIDS since the start of AIDS epidemic. An international tribute turns 35 this year.

Some fight with anger, others with love. The keepers of the AIDS Memorial Quilt – fight with a needle and thread. 2022 marks the quilt's 35th anniversary.   

It's a living tribute to people who've died from HIV/AIDS — a disease that attacks the body's immune system. 

Newsy visited the quilt's home in San Leandro, California. Looking around it’s emotional and  overwhelming.
