One has to remember that back in the early ’80s, the HIV community was divided into two camps: the stone-jawed, Robert Gallo politicos on one side and the angry, confrontational ACT-Up gays on the other
Two years later, when a commercial test did become available, we found that over 12% of the subjects were, HIVpositive
Summary
It was in 1983 that I received a call from a man named Ruben Sher at my rooms in Jeppe Street in Johannesburg. He was pursuing his doctorate in virology, and since I had a large gay practice, he asked if I would help him conduct a prevalence study, collecting bloods and medical histories of many of my patients. Two years later, when a commercial test did become available, we found that over 12% of the subjects were, HIVpositive.
