With a mixture of puzzlement,anger and optimism, AIDS researchers today are facing up to the urgent problems of understanding the illness and its cause, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Like detectives, they are trying to unravel the weapon, the motive and the opportunity for the medical crime of the century that has left thousands dead and millions infected. In the last five years scientists and doctors have tried to understand how HIV causes the illness, why it affects the body in the way it does and what it is in our own behaviour that gives the virus the opportunity to enter the body.
