From the Paper:

"Early in 1985, Paul Cronan developed symptoms and illness stemming from AIDS-related complex (ARC). As the illness persisted, Cronan sought medical attention that necessitated him to be excused from work. In June 1985, Cronan sought to be excused from work for a third instance; which was refused by his immediate supervisor, O'Brian, unless Cronan divulged his condition. Fearing the potential jeopardy of his job, Cronan informed O'Brian that his illness was due to an AIDS-related condition, and pled for the strictest confidentiality. O'Brian assured Cronan that his medical condition would be held private and dismissed Cronan from work."
