As we enter the last decade of the twentieth century, the AIDS
epidemic looms ever larger and threatening. The specter of upwards
of a million deaths in the United States and perhaps many millions
worldwide from a sexually transmitted virus shakes our belief in
modem medical science, while challenging the foundations of
democratic society. Almost ten years into the epidemic, and with an
enormous body of basic science research on the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), we still do not know why AIDS emerged
when it did or how to stop its spread. A very humbling experience
for scientists, clinicians, public health experts, politicians, and
the general public. Yet there are signs that a well coordinated
multidisciplinary research program can conquer the epidemic and,
perhaps, provide the basis for preventing future epidemics. The HIV
family of viruses is now better understood, both in terms of
structure and function, than any other virus. Genetically
engineered peptides and nucleic acids are being tested as specific
treatments or vaccines against HIV infection/disease. Most prom
ising are the strides which have been made in understanding those
aspects of human behavior which have contributed to the spread of
HIV infection and which must be substantially modified if AIDS is
to be controlled and eventually eradicated. The basis of that
understanding has roots in a diverse set of disciplines which have
converged in the work presented in this book."
