Bad Blood Again: First Syphilis, then Aids- a Whole New Game Richard G. Pugh

Bad Blood Again is a novel revealing for the first time investigational techniques employed by trained public health workers as they go about managing the spread of infectious syphilis. That dedicated and often dangerous work took on a new life when the AIDS epidemic began terrifying the nation beginning in the early 1980s. Pugh weaves in his own experiences as a VD investigator and reveals in considerable detail the sexual excesses surrounding the juggernaut of AIDS in the gay community.
