In the beginning: An eyewitness expert recalls the early days of AIDS

During the 1980s, Jim Curran, MD, MPH, was one of the most vital scientific minds driving the U.S. government's fight against the awakening AIDS epidemic. As an epidemiologist at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Curran was present during the first cases of the condition that would become known as AIDS--a syndrome that would change the world. Curran became chairman of the Kaposi's Sarcoma Opportunistic Infection Task Force in 1981, and eventually the director of the CDC's Division of AIDS. Today, he is the dean of the School of Public Health at Emory University in Atlanta and the director of the university's Center for AIDS Research. To mark the 25th anniversary of the first identified AIDS cases, Dr. Curran spoke with Benjamin Ryan.
