It’s very well know.

There are many other articles about him and HIV/AiDS.
You can argue he did the right thing but often I feel he didn’t. If someone is dying, I personally have no qualms letting them have access to experimental drugs.
Fauci was one of the younger scientists working on AIDS research at NIAID at the time, and Staley said ACT UP members began to get to know him. “All the older scientists thought we were crazy,” he said. “But Fauci wanted to hear what we had to say.”
“We liked Tony personally. He’s a brilliant scientist, a brilliant fighter of epidemics,” Staley said.
“I was becoming friends with some of them, like Peter Staley and Mark Harrington,” Fauci agreed. “I felt very strongly that we needed to get them into the planning process because they weren’t always right, but they had very, very good input.”
Fauci attended an ACT UP meeting in October 1989. After that, some of the group’s leaders on its Treatment and Data Committee would meet the NIAID chief and his deputy, Jim Hill, for dinner at Hill’s townhouse on Capitol Hill.
Fauci said he urged the scientific community and his own staff to include ACT UP members in the drug trial process. “I was pushing and pulling these people and screaming, ‘Hey, we have to deal with them,’ ” he said. “I was in a difficult position because I was trying to convince the establishment that ACT UP had something to offer.”
... did you even read your own fucking source
Wrong article.

Yes, later he changed his tune but in the beginning his was a road block to care.
What a coincidence, another source that doesn't say anything even close to what you're claiming it does.
We're done here. Thanks for outing yourself.
And here is another.
It said it in the first section.
Dr. Fauci’s response to the AIDS crisis in the 1980s was first widely criticized by LGBTQIA+ activists
God, did you read anything past that lmfao? Do you know what the word "first" means?
However, in later years he became a widely respected ally, eventually developing lifelong friendships with the activists.
Dumbass
Yes, I did. Does it change anything? No, the question is what he did at the time. Dumbass.
