AIDS in the UK
The Making of Policy, 1981-1994
This volume records the speed and nature of the public and official response to AIDS in the UK, describing how, in less than 15 years, a network of organizations developed, devoted to the study, containment and treatment of this new, critical disease.
Fifteen years ago the AIDS epidemic did not exist on the public agenda. In just over a decade the public and official response to the disease has resulted in the development of a whole network of organizations devoted to the study, containment, and practical treatment of AIDS. In this fascinating and scholarly account, Virginia Berridge analyses a remarkable period in contemporary British history, and exposes the reaction of the British public and British political and medical elites to one of the most challenging issues of this century.
