The year was 1981. Reports of a strange disease that was attacking seemingly healthy young men began to spread through the medical community. The most important thing initially was to construct a case definition for what is now called AIDS. The combination of symptoms was a unique blend of immune deficiency, opportunistic infections and cancers. Between 1981 and 1983 the case definition was developed as were the modes of transmission: sexual contact, through the blood supply by injection drug users, and from infected mothers to their children.
