It's difficult to put into perspective how radical of a statement this was at the time. There are still people who think HIV is an automatic death sentence, and it shows we have a long way to go educating people on the reality of this disease.
Just watch a documentary on her last night. They used the recordings from her interviews with Andrew Morton. She was so amazing. She could also empathize because she was isolated and left out in her own within the royal family.
Fun Fact: She changed the perspective on people infected with HIV. She destroyed the stereotype that HIV is transferred by touching by shaking an HIV-infected person on national news.
She is a great woman and role model for a lot of young woman and her sons seem like wonderful adults.
