In 1996, 11-year-old Hydeia Broadbent appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to talk about living with AIDS. Born HIV-positive, the young girl opened up about her experience in a candid, emotional and memorable interview that many "Oprah Show" viewers were unable to forget.
"When I turned 5, I had had symptoms of AIDS. I had had fungus in my brain, blood infections, pneumonia," Hydeia told Oprah back then. "I went Code Blue a couple of times. And when I was 5, that's when they said I was full-blown AIDS."
"What's the hardest part for you, Hydeia, living with this disease?" Oprah asked.
