From the Back Cover

• Unless methods of prevention, with or without vaccine, are successful, the worst of the pandemic will occur in the 21st century.
• A small number of AIDS cases among homosexual men in the United States has grown to become a global pandemic of such proportions that it clearly ranks as one of the most destructive microbial scourges in history.
• We are at a pivotal point in the evolution of this historic disease as we enter the new millennium. Biomedical research has provided anti-HIV drugs, but there is still no vaccine.
• It has become apparent over the past few years that minimizing the destructive impact of AIDS and the HIV virus will require partnerships between the public and private sectors as well as a stronger political will among the nations of the world.
