From the episode: FG405 - The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire

Singers: Peter Griffin & Barbershop Quartet
Voices: Seth MacFarlane, Bob Joyce, Jon Joyce, Randy Crenshaw, Rick Logan

"You Have AIDS" is a musical number featured in the fourth season episode "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire". The song, dedicated to AIDS patient Mr. Devanney features Peter Griffin joining a Barbershop Quartet in a performance describing his grim situation.

The gag in which the song was featured drew protests from several AIDS service organizations.[1] Several people associated with the show defended the "You Have AIDS" song, saying the song was meant to be tasteless, "because that's the joke."

In "Yug Ylimaf", with time having been reversed, Peter and the quartet are seen coming back from the hospital and singing a snippet of the song and walking backwards into the house with Peter excited to cheer up Mr. Devanney.

Traveling between cutaway gags in "Cutawayland", Peter hears "You Have AIDS" in the next room when he sends himself and Lois to an unlocked hospital medicine storage room.
