The back page description for this book reminds us that people have only known about AIDs for about 30 years. Given it’s global impact, that’s pretty amazing. Jacques Pepin’s book, The Origins of AIDs, looks its initial spread from chimps to humans, and then how it rapidly infected people by many different means. One of the worst culprits in its spread was actually a massive vaccination program meant to prevent a different epidemic.
This book is a valuable read for anyone from those concerned with the current state of Africa to anyone in a health related field, and is available now on our new book shelf.
