VIRAL: The Fight Against AIDS in America
"VIRAL: The Fight Against AIDS in America" is a narrative nonfiction account of the HIV/AIDS crisis by historian Ann Bausum, written for teens and adults. Drawing on archival photos, interviews, and historical documents, it traces the early days of the epidemic, the rise of activist movements, scientific breakthroughs, and the ongoing fight against stigma. Parents and educators value its clear, accessible writing and careful handling of a complex topic, making it a powerful choice for older students studying modern U.S. history, health, or social movements. It’s text-heavy and best for mature readers, but as a single volume that pulls many threads together, it offers substantial educational depth.
