The New York Public Library Book of 20th Century American Quotations has the following quote:
"You're not just sleeping with one person, you're sleeping with everyone they ever slept with."
Theresa Crenshaw, "Men, Women, Sex and AIDS," NBC-TV, January 13, 1987
Are there earlier expressions of this same thought, which I think was common in the early days of AIDS? I am interested in tracing the earliest version I can find.
