I can accept that Hillary "mis-spoke", got her memories confused, or whatever.

5. Huh? No sure what you think I'm saying

First, I don't support Hillary. I just don't think she was telling an intentional lie. If for no other reason than that would have been an extremely stupid thing for her to have consciously chosen to do. There were minimally hundreds of thousands of people watching that interview. The odds of her getting caught in a lie were very high, the downside for that very high as well. And to achieve what? Score some brownie points with moderate Republicans? She could have done that just by talking about stem cell research, or how devoted Nancy was to Ronnie during his declining years, or whatever.

I do think it is telling, like a poster below noted, that she could make this unforced error. I'm suggesting that Hillary just wasn't thinking about the AIDS epidemic and who it was striking, back in the day, which is how she could get something like this so terribly wrong. And to me that is troubling, since she has never denied that she was in a sense the co-governor of a state at the time, half of a political team running Arkansas.
