No. Ryan White was not the second person to have AIDS.
Ryan White came to the attention of the media and the world in the mid 1980s when he was diagnosed with HIV as a result of having received contaminated blood products.
Ryan was a 14 year old hemophiliac who required periodic treatments for his condition. Regretably, the blood products he received contained HIV.
His story made news because he was expelled from his school once school officials discovered he was HIV positive.
Ryan died in 1990.
