Transcripts
• How do you know a patient has a disease not seen before?
• How do you care for someone with a mysterious illness and protect
yourself as well?
• How do you investigate the cause of a new disease and find ways
to treat and prevent it?
NIH Historian Dr. Victoria Harden posed such questions to NIH researchers
and asked them to recall the early days of HIV/AIDS. Their oral histories
tell how government scientists, physicians, nurses, and administrators
responded to the challenge of this new and deadly disease.
This is an ongoing project and more transcripts, images, and documents
will be added. Photography
