Sandy Dossantos: How One Boy Changed the Course of HIV History
Sandy Dossantos, Pre-Clinical Imaging Technologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, shared a post on LinkedIn:

Over forty years later, his legacy still lives on in 2026 through legislation passed under his name.
Why did he have to fight in the first place?”
