商品簡介
Ball presents readers with a narrative account of the aids epidemic and its emotional impact on both patients and the people who cared for them through the 1990s. The author has organized the main body of her text in eighteen chronological chapters organized by year, beginning with three chapters devoted to 1992 and the early height of the aids crisis, followed by four chapters devoted to 1994 and five chapters devoted to 1995 and the relative lack of effective therapies and the mounting toll of the epidemic, two chapters devoted to emerging hope in 1996, a single chapter devoted to the pivotal year of 1997, and concluding with three chapters devoted to 1999, 2000, and living with a new paradigm of long-term care for survivors.
