By 1980 gay men in San Francis- co, Los Angeles, Denver, St. Louis, and Chica- go had developed the disease. An official AIDS epidemic was declared in June 1981. AIDS was unknown in Africa before this time, and the epidemic did not begin there until late in 1982. In 1984 Gallo discovered the green monkeys in Africa that had been incubating the disease for centuries before the epidemic, and he became world-famous for his work. But now a problem of timing raises its puz- zling head. If the first recorded cases of AIDS were reported to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 1979, are we to believe that all those gay men in Manhattan who contract- ed the illness had recently traveled to Africa and been bitten by green monkeys?
