Jacques Pepin looks back to the early twentieth-century events in Africa that triggered the emergence of HIV/AIDS and the subsequent evolution and transmission of the disease before it was first officially identified in 1981. The book focuses on the specific circumstances in Leopoldville, the capital of the Belgian Congo, where urbanization, the spread of prostitution, and medical interventions to control the incidence of tropical diseases interconnected to fuel the communication of HIV-1 in the 1960s, as the country struggled to adapt to its newfound independence. With a unique synthesis of historical, political and medical elements, this book adds a coherent and necessary historical perspective to recent molecular studies of the chronology of the HIV/AIDS pandemic"--Provided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 238-281) and index. 505 0 Out of Africa -- The source -- The timing -- The cut hunter -- Societies in transition -- The oldest trade -- Injections and the transmission of viruses -- The legacies of colonial medicine I: French Equatorial Africa and Cameroun -- The legacies of colonial medicine II: the Belgian Congo -- The other human immunodeficiency viruses -- From the Congo to the Caribbean -- The blood trade -- The globalisation -- Assembling the puzzle -- Epilogue: Lessons learned. 650 0 HIV infections |zAfrica. |=^A1032528 650 0 HIV infections |xEtiology. |=^A270748 650 0 AIDS (Disease) |zAfrica. |=^A358925 650 0 Emerging infectious diseases |zAfrica. |=^A710959 650 12 HIV Infections |xhistory |0(DNLM)D015658Q000266 |=^A1098879 650 12 HIV Infections |xetiology |0(DNLM)D015658Q000209 |=^A931281 650 22 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome |xhistory |0(DNLM)D000163Q000266 |=^A929256 650 22 Communicable Diseases, Emerging |xhistory |0(DNLM)D021821Q000266 |=^A1058101 650 22 Disease Vectors |0(DNLM)D004199 |=^A918100 650 22 HIV-1 |xpathogenicity |zAfrica. |=^A933370 650 22 History, 20th Century |zAfrica. |=^A941311 651 2 Africa. |0(DNLM)D000349 |=^A17427 856 41 |3Table of contents |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1205/2011007350-t.html 949 WC 503.3 P422o 2011 |hHSL70 |i31740082721741 |ohdjr |p$17.88 994 C0 |bNEH 096 WC 503.3 P422o 2011 596 1 4 998 2678753
