Answer 1

AIDS activists aimed to promote safe sex and raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.

Step-by-step explanation:

AIDS activists aimed to promote safe sex and raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.

During the early years of the HIV/AIDS crisis, grassroots organizers, such as the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP), staged protests and engaged in advocacy to bring attention to the problem. They aimed to raise awareness about the disease and promote safe sex practices to reduce the risk of HIV infection. Some groups also advocated for social services programs that provided free condoms and needle exchange programs to prevent the spread of the disease.
