eastern, we have a special called "hope survives, 30 years of aids." we'll look at how far we've come and how far we need to go. sir elton john will be with me the entire hour, he's the special guest, and you'll hear from these familiar voices as well. >> i was working in vegas with rock hudson and i played his lover in a movie. suddenly, as the movie ended, i came to understand that rock had aids. >> i was very fortunate to be a friend of arthur ashe. and in knowing him, it was one thing that really impressed me about him so much after he caught the aids virus. he never, ever complained about his bad fortune. he never, ever said, why me? >> these were people living with hiv and that hiv was going to be an ongoing condition, just like diabetes or anything else, but that you could live with it as opposed to being called an aids victim.
