Timeline of early AIDS cases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I never knew about this Gaëtan Dugas slut. That is what I meant by spread rate. It went from one or two people here or there in the late 70s to 248 in a few years in the early 80s.
Then again, maybe he is a patsy...
I still have doubts about them actually finding HIV in the 50s. (And since this is paranoia, maybe 'they' infected people earlier than 1977 in order to test the virus.
)
I did come across that 1977 date yesterday when I went to donate blood. One of the questions was if I had sex with a man since 1977. I wasn't alive then, but I'm surprised they didn't care about 1976 or 1975. How would they know that there were no cases of HIV in the USA prior to 1977 (besides the fact that they would probably be dead)?
