WI VIAGRA ® in the 80's

I think one consequence of early Viagra is a much more aggressive AIDS epidemic.

Gay meeting places in OTL sometimes have bowls full of Viagra to counteract effects of stay-awake-all-night drugs such as Meth. But condoms are common, too. Now, anyway.

In this TL, gay bathhouses and other meeting places are still unaware of the danger. With Viagra, a man could go all night in his activities ... and the epidemic that will become a household name in just 2 years would be so far gone, hundreds of thousands, instead of just tens of thousands, of people would have died in the US alone.

Another consequence: As a result of the connection between Viagra and AIDS made later on, Viagra is no longer available.
 
The use of Viagra wouldn't be as widespread as it is now, becasue the Pharmaceutical industry couldn't advertise on TV, making it seem like ED is the number one helath problem in the United States.
