The most famous example be Ryan White. He was a kid who contracted it through a blood transfusion within the '80s--I want to say he be 12-14 or so when he got it. In addendum to his physical ailment, he suffered socially as society was so much smaller number educated roughly the disease than now (not to read aloud there are not still societal issues, but it is not approaching the '80s). He lived with it several years, but this be before heaps of the life-extending therapies of today be available. Many celebrities rally to his side--Michael Jackson (before he was bizarre) and Elton John to term a couple. Many of them were at his funeral when he finally lost his punch-up.
I think the antediluvian tennis star Arthur Ash got AIDS that mode. Hope this helps.
