520 |a In this volume, the author -- generally credited with discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -- presents what amounts to a basic course on HIV for the layman. He describes the first manifestations of the disease in humans and tells of the intense microbiological detective work involved in the search for the causative virus. He discusses AIDS treatments and the probable future of the disease. He also recounts his side of the conflict he and American researcher Robert Gallo have had over who discovered what, and when. Along the way, the reader learns of the events that led the author to virology and something of the frustrations of research.
