Title

Early Book on the AIDS Virus: 'AIDS: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome'

Description

Written for a general audience, this book was published in October 1983, just one year after the disease was named AIDS. Its features alarming headlines such as, 'The number of new cases has been doubling every eight to twelve months' and 'WHO WILL BE AFFECTED NEXT?' The author lays out theories about how the disease spreads, including through blood or through contact between people with compromised immune systems, but downplays the possibility of sexual transmission.
