Description

In this extraordinary history and memoir, James Driscoll, Ph.D., explores the untold story of how AIDS activists fought against bureaucratic plans from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This book details the intense struggle between activists and a hidebound agency, a conflict that ultimately helped save HIV patients and rescued the FDA from a self-inflicted public health catastrophe. By 1996, the accelerated approval of AIDS drug cocktails changed the landscape of the epidemic, turning a death sentence into a manageable disease. Driscoll, a Shakespeare scholar and AIDS activist, provides a firsthand look at the years of struggle required to achieve this transformation. This work is essential reading for those interested in LGBTQ+ history, public health, and the impact of grassroots activism on government institutions.
