Abstract: Abstract WHEN THE PUZZLING CASES OF Kaposi’s sarcoma and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, characteristic of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), were first detected in San Francisco and New York in 1980, it seemed that the victims of the syndrome were all homosexual men from North America. Indeed, by 1982 it was being referred to as GRID: Gay-Related Immune Deficiency. It was untreatable, no one knew where it came from, and everybody who contracted it died.
