| Summary |
Clark delves into the issues, showing that HIV is a primarily heterosexual disease that was introduced into this country through the male homosexual and IV-drug communities only by means of a historical accident. Clark concludes that, although there are no easy solutions to the present crisis, we have the mechanisms to effectively control the spread of the disease - condom use and restructured social and medical services - if only we have the prerequisite political will and social courage to face the disease and alter our ideas about social and moral responsibility.
