For the first time ever, Gabriel Rotello describes in detail the surprising scientific consensus about why, precisely, AIDS hit gay men so hard. Rebutting both the left's position that AIDS was merely an accident, and simplistic right-wing theories that blame promiscuity alone, Rotello presents the compelling but troubling verdict embraced by epidemiologists: AIDS was spread by a fusion of factors built right into the fabric of urban gay life after Stonewall. Gabriel Rotello's analysis of AIDS and ecology reveals that though it cannot yet be cured, HIV can indeed by contained. And in clear and unforgettable prose, he tells us how we can accomplish that, one person at a time.
