It was the first time I have ever heard or read anything in my whole life that so completely resonated with my experience as a young immigrant child translating for my mother. We immigrated to the Peninsula Bay Area when I was 5 years old, from Ukraine. I made so many calls, sent so many messages, did so many tasks as a kid that required me to translate between Ukrainian and English. These experiences forced me and many other kids to grow up too quickly. It’s now only exacerbated during these tumultuous times. Now I work in the state Legislature, hoping to be a part of improving how information is shared with all communities in our state, especially those most in need like Maggie’s family. — \u003cstrong>Anya\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could share so many stories of parent/teacher conferences, doctor's visits, immigration appointments or visits from the landlord (among other things) when I would hear the familiar \"Ven, ven, Marisol... Dime qué dijo.\" Over the years, I picked up on certain words that I knew were important to know in preparation for these encounters, but there was always that moment of panic when an unfamiliar word would pop up. I would immediately imagine the possibility of being held back a grade, or having to pay extra for something, or leading to a misdiagnosis. Nothing that bad ever happened, but that pressure was always present. (As a teacher) my hope now is to be a part of and create learning communities and spaces where our students and our families can engage without having to imagine worst-case scenarios. — \u003cstrong>Marisol\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11831200\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11831200\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda.jpg 1900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">'Being the child of an immigrant always comes with its own series of 'club rules',' said Glenda Cota, who grew up supporting her family with her language skills. \u003ccite>(Glenda Cota)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>...but for many, there are positive memories and pride\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Being the child of an immigrant always comes with its own series of \"club rules.\" If you know them, you know them.

At the same time, there was such an acute awareness that I had to do it. I remember accompanying my parents to health care appointments to fill out forms and translate. I don’t ever recall anyone questioning it. Why did that ever seem acceptable? I’m now a health care professional and it’s one reason I feel so strongly about advocating for appropriate and consistent access to language resources. It’s not OK for a child to be in a position to interpret important information for others. Our immigrant parents deserve better. — \u003cstrong>Anonymous\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the '90s, medical letters were sent in English only, so imagine having to translate life-changing medical notices at 8 years old to your parents. It took advocates years of fighting for language access to be available in publicly funded places like rec centers, libraries, public transit, DMVs, public hospitals, etc in San Francisco. As a kid of monolingual immigrant parents, you learn early on how to navigate large institutions like courts, hospitals, schools, etc. It's a feeling that never leaves you. You witness at a young age how these institutions make your relatives matter less just because they don't speak English. You grow up with a \"get shit done because no one else will help you\" mentality. More people need to know our stories. Having language access allows for immigrant communities to thrive and regain agency. — \u003cstrong>Vida\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"resources\">\u003c/a>Multilingual Resources for Families\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>COVID-19 Information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC's website is available in Spanish \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/spanish/\">here\u003c/a>.

It was the first time I have ever heard or read anything in my whole life that so completely resonated with my experience as a young immigrant child translating for my mother. We immigrated to the Peninsula Bay Area when I was 5 years old, from Ukraine. I made so many calls, sent so many messages, did so many tasks as a kid that required me to translate between Ukrainian and English. These experiences forced me and many other kids to grow up too quickly. It’s now only exacerbated during these tumultuous times. Now I work in the state Legislature, hoping to be a part of improving how information is shared with all communities in our state, especially those most in need like Maggie’s family. — \u003cstrong>Anya\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could share so many stories of parent/teacher conferences, doctor's visits, immigration appointments or visits from the landlord (among other things) when I would hear the familiar \"Ven, ven, Marisol... Dime qué dijo.\" Over the years, I picked up on certain words that I knew were important to know in preparation for these encounters, but there was always that moment of panic when an unfamiliar word would pop up. I would immediately imagine the possibility of being held back a grade, or having to pay extra for something, or leading to a misdiagnosis. Nothing that bad ever happened, but that pressure was always present. (As a teacher) my hope now is to be a part of and create learning communities and spaces where our students and our families can engage without having to imagine worst-case scenarios. — \u003cstrong>Marisol\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11831200\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11831200\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda.jpg 1900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Glenda-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">'Being the child of an immigrant always comes with its own series of 'club rules',' said Glenda Cota, who grew up supporting her family with her language skills. \u003ccite>(Glenda Cota)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>...but for many, there are positive memories and pride\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Being the child of an immigrant always comes with its own series of \"club rules.\" If you know them, you know them.

Growing up under the circumstances that I did is what forged the distinct Chicanx identity I have today. I knew what I was doing was important and bigger than me.

I am the first in my family to pursue a Master's degree and I chose to work in education because I want to work with youth who have gone through similar experiences. I want them to know that coming from an immigrant family is their superpower and to encourage them to keep advocating for their families even when times are hard.

About 20% of them, including Olvera, were in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to fears of COVID-19 transmission, the agency closed its offices to the public on March 18 and canceled naturalization interviews. Offices \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-office-closings\">began reopening\u003c/a> June 4, but some remain shuttered. And although USCIS has resumed in-person services, it is not operating at full capacity because of social distancing requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has focused on rescheduling oath ceremonies for most of the 110,000 immigrants who had already been approved in March, said USCIS spokeswoman Jessica Collins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our top priority has been to resume naturalization ceremonies for those whose ceremonies were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Collins said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But most of the 700,000 immigrants awaiting approval in March are likely still waiting, and the backlog may have grown since then, although USCIS hasn’t released up-to-date statistics. [aside tag=\"immigration,uscis\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the average processing time for a citizenship petition was 8.6 months — up from 5.6 months in 2016. Under normal circumstances, Olvera would likely be an American by now. But \u003ca href=\"https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/\">processing times\u003c/a> have skyrocketed — taking up to 20 months at the USCIS office in San Francisco, and even longer in some other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t been scheduled for an interview yet. I don’t think that it might happen this year,” Olvera said, a legal assistant at an immigration law office, who also said more of her clients have been rejected for asylum and other benefits under President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel pretty angry and disempowered,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and the cost of applying for citizenship — which is set to increase nearly 40% to $1,170 in the fall — are motivating more people to try to naturalize now, said Louis DeSipio, professor of political science and Chicano/Latino studies at UC Irvine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the delays at USCIS may prevent as many as half a million immigrants from becoming voters by November — and that could impact the presidential election in battleground states such as Florida and Arizona, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newly naturalized citizens aren’t likely to affect the presidential outcome in deep blue California, but they could tip the election in close congressional races, including in the Fresno area, where freshman Democratic Rep.

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump signed a memorandum on Tuesday to exclude undocumented immigrants from the U.S. Census count that determines the states’ political representation, arguing that including them undermines democracy for American citizens. Hours later, several California elected officials, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Gov.

In \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/13/141\">Title 13\u003c/a>, Congress established additional key dates for the \"tabulation of total population.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of Alabama, however, is arguing in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/06/754685703/15-states-say-unauthorized-immigrants-should-continue-to-count-for-seats-in-cong\">ongoing federal lawsuit\u003c/a> that the framers of the Constitution did not intend for the term \"persons\" to include immigrants living in the country without authorization.

Patrick Leahy and Montana Sen. Jon Tester, both Democrats who sit on the Senate Appropriations Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ask that you take immediate action to save USCIS employees from unnecessary furloughs,” wrote Leahy and Tester in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/USCIS%20Final%20Letter%207%2021%2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter\u003c/a> to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Chad Wolf and USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow. “You must not sit by as thousands of American jobs are on the line, particularly during a time of unprecedented unemployment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Leahy and Tester said that even though USCIS’ fiscal outlook had reversed, the agency had “perplexingly chosen” to proceed with the furloughs, which would go into effect on Aug. 3 for at least a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Collins, a spokeswoman with USCIS, said the agency still requires $1.2 billion from Congress because its financial outlook had not improved enough to sustain operations next fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In order to delay a furlough, we would need a commitment from Congress to fund USCIS, either through passing legislation or indicating that legislation is forthcoming which would meet our ultimate goal of canceling the furlough once we receive funding,” Collins said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DHS, the parent agency of USCIS, and the White House Office of Management and Budget did not immediately return requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Original Story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than two weeks before massive furloughs are set to strike the federal agency that processes immigration applications, it’s unclear whether Congress will reach a bailout deal in time to spare more than 13,000 employees and millions of immigrants awaiting key services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakes are high in California, where hundreds of thousands of immigrants — as well as their American employers and relatives — depend on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for work permits, green cards, naturalization and other benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS plans to furlough more than two-thirds of its employees, including 2,300 in California, because revenue has dropped dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, USCIS officials told Congress they would need $1.2 billion to avoid the furloughs, which are set to start Aug. 3. [pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren']‘If the administration decides to run this agency off a cliff, which it looks like they’re planning to do, I think it would be really a shameful thing.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California representatives Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Los Angeles) and Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) said they are working to include emergency funds for the agency in the contentious COVID-19 recovery bill that Congress is debating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Roybal-Allard and Lofgren, who chair subcommittees negotiating relief for the agency, said the White House has only provided a one-page letter with scant details on the financial shortfall at USCIS or proposed solutions. They said a lack of cooperation from the administration has slowed progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the administration decides to run this agency off a cliff, which it looks like they’re planning to do, I think it would be really a shameful thing,” Lofgren said, chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman with the White House Office of Management and Budget defended the administration’s response, and said Congress has enough information to avoid the furloughs, which are expected to last between one and three months. [aside tag=\"immigration\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Administration has formally requested the resources necessary to keep USCIS running,” said the OMB spokesman in a statement. “Our hope is that Congressional Democrats accept our proposal to keep the lights on in a responsible manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS has proposed to pay back to the U.S. Treasury the $1.2 billion it seeks by adding a 10% surcharge to applications paid by U.S. employers, U.S. citizens and immigrants. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.afge.org/article/bipartisan-bill-introduced-to-fund-uscis-to-avoid-furloughs/\">bill\u003c/a> introduced by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo) this month would do that. But Lofgren and other Democrats have been lukewarm to the idea of raising fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike most federal agencies, USCIS \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-proposes-to-adjust-fees-to-meet-operational-needs\">funds\u003c/a> its operations with immigrant application fees.

Patrick Leahy and Montana Sen. Jon Tester, both Democrats who sit on the Senate Appropriations Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ask that you take immediate action to save USCIS employees from unnecessary furloughs,” wrote Leahy and Tester in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/USCIS%20Final%20Letter%207%2021%2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter\u003c/a> to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Chad Wolf and USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow. “You must not sit by as thousands of American jobs are on the line, particularly during a time of unprecedented unemployment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Leahy and Tester said that even though USCIS’ fiscal outlook had reversed, the agency had “perplexingly chosen” to proceed with the furloughs, which would go into effect on Aug. 3 for at least a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Collins, a spokeswoman with USCIS, said the agency still requires $1.2 billion from Congress because its financial outlook had not improved enough to sustain operations next fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In order to delay a furlough, we would need a commitment from Congress to fund USCIS, either through passing legislation or indicating that legislation is forthcoming which would meet our ultimate goal of canceling the furlough once we receive funding,” Collins said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DHS, the parent agency of USCIS, and the White House Office of Management and Budget did not immediately return requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Original Story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than two weeks before massive furloughs are set to strike the federal agency that processes immigration applications, it’s unclear whether Congress will reach a bailout deal in time to spare more than 13,000 employees and millions of immigrants awaiting key services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakes are high in California, where hundreds of thousands of immigrants — as well as their American employers and relatives — depend on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for work permits, green cards, naturalization and other benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS plans to furlough more than two-thirds of its employees, including 2,300 in California, because revenue has dropped dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, USCIS officials told Congress they would need $1.2 billion to avoid the furloughs, which are set to start Aug. 3. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

New applicants would join the nearly 650,000 current DACA holders, who are entitled to renew their protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling was welcomed by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who led a coalition of states in suing the federal government to preserve the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the Supreme Court down, the courts have made it clear: DACA stands, and now its doors are open to new Dreamers to apply,” Becerra said in a statement. “I urge all Dreamers to enter DACA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Original Story: \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kassandra Merlos, 24, is ready to apply to the federal government for a work permit and protection from deportation under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, something she’s been barred from for almost three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC Riverside student decided to try for DACA after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month preserved the program, which benefits undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children. She had intended to apply in the fall of 2017, she said, but the Trump administration rescinded the protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would help me so much because not only I could work and provide for myself, but I could help my parents as well financially,” Merlos said, who has lived in California since age 3. “I've been struggling, not being able to work.” [aside tag=\"immigration\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court said the Trump administration did not follow the law when it tried to end DACA. Lower courts had forced the government to process DACA renewals while the case was litigated, but did not require officials to accept new applications from people like Merlos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the June 18 decision however, at least \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/press/release/2020/07/13/487538/release-trump-administration-must-immediately-resume-processing-new-daca-applications-new-cap-column-argues/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">300,000\u003c/a> young immigrants, who meet the requirements for DACA but have never held the protections, are now eligible to apply, according to legal scholars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But nearly a month after the high court ruled, the federal agency in charge of handling immigration applications, has not publicly said how or whether it will accept new DACA requests. That has incensed Democratic lawmakers and sowed uncertainty among young immigrants who have waited, sometimes for years, to benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has begun rejecting new petitions, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/transcripts/891563635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security are continuing to review the Supreme Court ruling, said a USCIS spokesperson this week. The agency referred KQED to a defiant statement by a top official issued the day after the justices’ decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “court opinion has no basis in law and merely delays the President’s lawful ability to end the illegal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals amnesty program,” said USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-statement-supreme-courts-daca-decision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement\u003c/a>. “The constitutionality of this de facto amnesty program created by the Obama administration has been widely questioned since its inception.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday, the USCIS website said the agency is only accepting DACA renewal applications.

New applicants would join the nearly 650,000 current DACA holders, who are entitled to renew their protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling was welcomed by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who led a coalition of states in suing the federal government to preserve the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the Supreme Court down, the courts have made it clear: DACA stands, and now its doors are open to new Dreamers to apply,” Becerra said in a statement. “I urge all Dreamers to enter DACA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Original Story: \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kassandra Merlos, 24, is ready to apply to the federal government for a work permit and protection from deportation under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, something she’s been barred from for almost three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC Riverside student decided to try for DACA after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month preserved the program, which benefits undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children. She had intended to apply in the fall of 2017, she said, but the Trump administration rescinded the protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would help me so much because not only I could work and provide for myself, but I could help my parents as well financially,” Merlos said, who has lived in California since age 3. “I've been struggling, not being able to work.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He started working for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on its syphilis eradication campaign in what became a 40-year career as a contact tracer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a given day, I would be in the clinic for two, three hours. I would interview one or two people, and then I would go out in the field and drive around and locate the people that had been named,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracking down sexual contacts in the “free love” era required private eye skills. A lot of people infected with a sexually transmitted disease didn’t know the names of the people they slept with. Maybe they remember a lover who works in a deli, but they don’t remember the name of the deli either. They only remember that it’s on South Broadway, and it’s the only deli in the neighborhood that doesn’t serve breakfast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Potterat drives up and down Broadway until he finds it. Then he writes a note for the employee — without a name, he addresses it with defining features, for example, the guy with a thick brown mustache and scorpion tattoo on his bicep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A day later, the person calls,” Potterat said. “He was located, and he was tested. Turned out that he was positive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the ’70s, when gonorrhea took center stage, Potterat moved on to a new contact tracing job in Colorado.

Then at night, he tracked people down at the biker bars and gay bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would spend time there — it’s sort of a see and be seen type of approach, and we gained their trust through the ’70s,” he says. “But everything changed with AIDS.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new virus with no name arrived in the ’80s. And, unlike syphilis or gonorrhea, it wouldn’t go away with a round of antibiotics. There was no test for AIDS, there was no treatment and it was 100% fatal. Health departments felt helpless, Potterat said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contact tracers were in a \u003ca href=\"https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.82.8.1158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moral quandary\u003c/a>. Many felt it was unethical to tell someone they might have been exposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What did we have to offer these people? We didn’t even have hope,” Potterat remembered. “And these were young people. How do you tell a 23-year-old you might have two years to live? And here I am working for a medical clinic, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of years later, Potterat concluded that was a mistake. They could have at least met with people to educate them about the virus and counsel them on how to stop spreading it further. Eventually, Potterat’s team \u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12083437/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">traced HIV infections\u003c/a> back to the origin of the epidemic in Colorado Springs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that, had we had the courage and the conviction to go visit these people, we could have saved several people, a dozen, 20,” he said “So on some level, I failed. I made up for it later, but failure is failure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11828042\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1996px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11828042\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1996\" height=\"1242\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing.png 1996w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-800x498.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-1020x635.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-160x100.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-1536x956.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-1920x1195.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1996px) 100vw, 1996px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graphic of the HIV network derived from contact tracing in Colorado in the late 1980s through the 1990s. \u003ccite>(From study: Risk network structure in the early epidemic phase of HIV transmission in Colorado Springs)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Gay Community Resists\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gay community in San Francisco did not share Potterat’s enthusiasm for contact tracing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when a test was developed in the mid ’80s, and even when the first antiretrovirals came out, gay advocates in San Francisco were opposed to contact tracing.

He and other advocates said public education was the way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People have to be able to protect themselves,” he said. “If they think that the state is going to swoop in and say your sexual partner has AIDS, then they’re just going to continue burying their heads in the sand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some epidemiologists thought the money needed for contact tracing would be better spent on other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my thinking about contact tracing back in those days was, ‘well, what exactly is it supposed to add?’ We’ve already told every single gay man they’re at high-risk, and they should get tested,” said UCSF doctor George Rutherford, who led the CDC’s AIDS response in San Francisco at the time. “At the time, the answer was, ‘Nothing,'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In smaller places, like Colorado where Potterat worked, they could contact trace and map disease networks.

He started working for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on its syphilis eradication campaign in what became a 40-year career as a contact tracer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a given day, I would be in the clinic for two, three hours. I would interview one or two people, and then I would go out in the field and drive around and locate the people that had been named,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracking down sexual contacts in the “free love” era required private eye skills. A lot of people infected with a sexually transmitted disease didn’t know the names of the people they slept with. Maybe they remember a lover who works in a deli, but they don’t remember the name of the deli either. They only remember that it’s on South Broadway, and it’s the only deli in the neighborhood that doesn’t serve breakfast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Potterat drives up and down Broadway until he finds it. Then he writes a note for the employee — without a name, he addresses it with defining features, for example, the guy with a thick brown mustache and scorpion tattoo on his bicep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A day later, the person calls,” Potterat said. “He was located, and he was tested. Turned out that he was positive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He sat at his desk in his paisley shirt, clashing paisley tie and \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=nigel+tufnel+haircut&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=OMAqOACsHQAOVM%252CRCxqk4VPrFoGqM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kRQ6TZ3UuNpqKaOiIvnniPYwFptEA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiExp20777qAhXkna0KHesqC58Q9QEwAnoECAcQBw&biw=1431&bih=744#imgrc=OMAqOACsHQAOVM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nigel Tufnel\u003c/a> shag haircut, working the phones. Then at night, he tracked people down at the biker bars and gay bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would spend time there — it’s sort of a see and be seen type of approach, and we gained their trust through the ’70s,” he says. “But everything changed with AIDS.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new virus with no name arrived in the ’80s. And, unlike syphilis or gonorrhea, it wouldn’t go away with a round of antibiotics. There was no test for AIDS, there was no treatment and it was 100% fatal. Health departments felt helpless, Potterat said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contact tracers were in a \u003ca href=\"https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.82.8.1158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moral quandary\u003c/a>. Many felt it was unethical to tell someone they might have been exposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What did we have to offer these people? We didn’t even have hope,” Potterat remembered. “And these were young people. How do you tell a 23-year-old you might have two years to live? And here I am working for a medical clinic, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of years later, Potterat concluded that was a mistake. They could have at least met with people to educate them about the virus and counsel them on how to stop spreading it further. Eventually, Potterat’s team \u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12083437/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">traced HIV infections\u003c/a> back to the origin of the epidemic in Colorado Springs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that, had we had the courage and the conviction to go visit these people, we could have saved several people, a dozen, 20,” he said “So on some level, I failed. I made up for it later, but failure is failure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11828042\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1996px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11828042\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1996\" height=\"1242\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing.png 1996w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-800x498.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-1020x635.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-160x100.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-1536x956.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/ContactTracing-1920x1195.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1996px) 100vw, 1996px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graphic of the HIV network derived from contact tracing in Colorado in the late 1980s through the 1990s. \u003ccite>(From study: Risk network structure in the early epidemic phase of HIV transmission in Colorado Springs)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Gay Community Resists\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gay community in San Francisco did not share Potterat’s enthusiasm for contact tracing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when a test was developed in the mid ’80s, and even when the first antiretrovirals came out, gay advocates in San Francisco were opposed to contact tracing.

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
