In 1995, American diver Greg Louganis admitted in a television interview that he was suffering from AIDS. He had the virus before competing in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games where he suffered an injury after his head hit a diving board. In his book Breaking the Surface, Louganis admitted being scared that people who gathered around his bloodied head would be in danger of contracting an infection. Louganis also displeased his legion of female admirers by admitting that he was a homosexual.

American tennis great Arthur Ashe told the world on April 8, 1992 that he had contracted HIV during blood transfusions received during his two heart surgeries. Ashe kept it away from public knowledge since 1988. He organised a press conference when he heard that a newspaper was going to publish a report on his dreaded illness.
