"Exactly when and where and how
it first began, nobody knows. Prob-
ably we will never know for sure.
The first cases may have occurred
as little as ten years ago, more
likely twenty or thirty years, ago,
but not much more. Almost cer-
tainly the earliest tragic victims
simply sickened and died for no
apparent reason, without any idea
what was wrong with them."
Thus begins the story of a mod-
ern plague that has already killed
over twelve thousand Americans,
a virus that has r~o known cure and
is spreading. Once called the "Gay
Plague," AIDS (acquired immune
deficiency syndrome) is not a
disease confined to the homosex-
ual community; also at high risk
are intravenous drug users,
through the sharing of needles,
and hemophiliacs, through in-
fected blood products. And evi-
dence is mounting that the disease
is being spread heterosexually as
well.
What is this disease that kills so
cruelly and seems unstoppable? In
the fall of 1982 scientists in the
United States and in France~an-
nounced that they had isolated the
virus that caused AIDS. Since then
more and more has been learned
about it, what forms it takes and in
what time span, and how it can,
through a blood test, be identi/ied
at an early stage.
