QuoteIn the tortuous mythology of the AIDS epidemic, one legend never seems to die: Patient Zero, aka Ga?tan Dugas, a globe-trotting, sexually insatiable French Canadian flight attendant who supposedly picked up H.I.V. in Haiti or Africa and spread it to dozens, even hundreds, of other men before his death in 1984.

Mr. Dugas was once blamed for sparking the entire American AIDS epidemic, which traumatized the nation in the 1980s and has since killed more than 500,000 Americans. The New York Post even ran a picture of him under the headline ?The Man Who Gave Us AIDS.?

But after a new genetic analysis of stored blood samples, bolstered by some intriguing historical detective work, scientists on Wednesday declared him innocent.

QuoteMany vulnerable groups, including young gay men and African women, fail to use protective drugs or avoid testing because they fear being stigmatized or accused of being carriers.

Even though the disease can now be both prevented and controlled, many people ? both in San Francisco and in Africa, he said ? resist getting tested for H.I.V. and fool themselves into believing they are not at risk, because they fear being blamed by their social circle.

This is the only thing that matters in this entire article tbh.
