This book begins with a detailed and technical journey into the laboratories where the keys to the understanding of the virus were forged in the early years of the search for the infectious agent of AIDS. The discovery of the virus, which was originally called HTLV-III/LAV and which became known as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), is only a small part of the saga.
The Aids Reader is one of the first to take a comprehensive view of the new virus and will substantially contribute to public understanding of the virus, the disease and the epidemic. It provides, for the first time, a collection of material which both traces the evolution of the disease, and places it in the present perspective of what we know and what we do not. The authors have done a superlative job of culling the mountains of literature to select a group which provides perspective, compassion, and insight.
