School Library Journal : "This collection of primary-source material presents a well-balanced treatise on who knew what, and when, and who was responsible. This title deals with a debate that is seldom addressed."

Booklist : "As with books in the long-running Opposing Viewpoints series, the excerpts here clearly express opposing opinions on an issue...The effect of the entire volume is to create an informative, many-sided representation."
-- Booklist (May 2002)
School Library Journal : "This title offers a historical overview rather than a medical explanation of the disease... The book has no illustrations and the presentation would be dry to average browsers. However, the time line, glossary, and index will be useful tools for researchers."

Book Description
When AIDS was first reported in 1981, scientists disagreed about what caused the disease and how it was spread. Controversies continued when two different research groups claimed credit for identifying the virus called HIV as the cause of AIDS in 1984. These and related debates shook the scientific world and affected the development of AIDS research and prevention.
