🇺🇸 The Blood Sisters was a movement of lesbian activists who organized and sponsored specialized blood drives and medical care for gay men during the height of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s.
Founded in San Diego, California, in 1983, the group filled critical medical shortages and battle the social abandonment confronting gay men.
During the early 1980s, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implemented a strict ban on blood donations from men who have sex with men. At the same time, many AIDS patients developed severe anemia and desperately needed blood transfusions. To bypass this barrier, activists Wendy Sue Beagle and Barbara Vic established a dedicated account with a private San Diego blood bank. This system allowed individual donors to legally designate where their blood went—specifically earmarking it for regional AIDS patients.
The Blood Sisters held their first drive on 16 July 1983. While organizers hoped for 50 volunteers, nearly 200 women lined up around the block to donate.
The group hosted 12 massive drives in San Diego up until 1992. They inspired similar grassroots networks in major cities like San Francisco, Boston, and Los Angeles.
Beyond blood, these women served as nurses, hospice volunteers, and bedside advocates. They provided vital physical and emotional touch when institutional medical staff and families often refused to enter patients' rooms out of fear. #whatisrememberedlives
