AIDS Epidemic in San Francisco
The AIDS Epidemic in San Francisco oral history project was initiated by virologists David and Evelyne Lennette, whose laboratory in 1981 began receiving specimens for testing from early San Francisco AIDS patients. The intention of this project was to document events of 1981-84 in the early history of the AIDS epidemic, focusing on how decisions were made on biomedical, public health, and social and political issues pertaining to AIDS.
