In addition, I had heard about the drug AZT from the musical <em>Rent<\/em> and the movie<em> Dallas Buyer\u2019s Club<\/em> and like many, I was unaware that AZT had debilitating side effects for some and <a href=\"https:\/\/americanhistory.si.edu\/blog\/2010\/09\/a-brief-history-of-azt.html\">a controversial history<\/a>.
