My recollection is the prejudices around AIDS had diminished dramatically by the time Philadelphia came out. But, the movie is (I think) depicting a past event when things would have been different. Also, movies often blow things a bit out of proportion. In the early-to-mid 80s, though, it would have been spot on.
