His mother, a paramedic, had served as his nurse both at home and in the hospital, coming into frequent contact with the child's blood and wastes. Says Jaffe: "This kind of care is not what goes on in most households...

Since 1981 the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta reports that Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome has struck more than 8,000 Americans, 90% of them gay men or drug abusers.
