Viral: The Fight against AIDS in America
Ann Bausum
This narrative nonfiction account traces the AIDS crisis in the United States from the period after the 1969 Stonewall uprising to the present day. It examines how HIV/AIDS was initially stigmatized and received little federal funding. LGBTQ communities organized education, care, advocacy, drug-trial work with the NIH, and public protests. The book also addresses the disease’s physical, emotional, and financial effects, including its disproportionate impact on poor communities and people of color.
