World AIDS Day
 Websites presented in alphabetical order In Their Own Words: NIH Researchers Recall the Early Years of AIDS 
 This site describes the scientific community's first encounters with AIDS and its initial searches for treatments. It also provides audio files and transcripts of National Institute of Health (NIH) researchers' early recollections, document and image archives, and related links. The timeline runs from June 1981, with the first article about AIDS in medical literature, to the disease's eventual recognition by the U.S. administration and the first World AIDS Day in the late 1980s. http://history.nih.gov/NIHInOwnWords/ Topics: Health, Holidays and Observances Individually, Infectious Diseases Last updated Sep 29, 2009 Staying Alive
