This session will describe the early history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the USA based on Dr. Harold Jaffe and Dr. James Curran first hand recollections and experiences at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and clips from a film, "And the Band Played On," based on a book of the same name written by Randy Shilts. This session serves to illustrate the power of the epidemiologic method to understand the transmission and natural history of new infectious diseases in advance of identifying their causes.
