Were you at his last birthday party because of your role as an editor?
I'm surprised you hadn't heard about the HIV news; it was announced back in 2002. Janet was advised by their doctors at the time to keep it quiet because of the stigma attached. I think she was relieved to finally tell the truth.
This does explain why Asimov hated Reagan so much, and why he spoke out in favor of more research for AIDS.
