Distinguished science journalist Edward Hooper presents the meticulously researched -- and highly readable -- history of HIV and its possible origins. Pursuing leads across the U.S., the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa, Hooper pieces together the tantalizing clues offered by long-archived blood samples, early AIDS-like cases (such as the \"Manchester sailor\" case of 1959), immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs), and the medical interventions in Africa and elsewhere that may have played a role in SIVs' crossover into humans.\u003cp\u003eHooper examines over two dozen theories of origin, and eventually discards most of them. What remains is a remarkable and well-supported theory for the sudden appearance of AIDS, and the definitive story of its lethal spread. Drawing on more than 4,000 sources and 600 interviews, The River is a thorough and provocative investigation into the most terrible epidemic of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Little Brown \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS | Edward Hooper | Hardcover | 9780316372619 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks B 1777504","offer_id":49765845336216,"sku":"1777504","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91Eg1wWQNrL.jpg?v=1787971134","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/river-a-journey-to-the-source-of-hiv-and-aids","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
