Publisher's Summary
In the late 1970s, at the height of the disco club scene's popularity, little did anyone know it, but a silent, invisible killer known as HIV would soon cause not only a nationwide panic, but an increase in sexual freedom, believe it or not.
With late '70s films like Saturday Night Fever only serving to add fuel to the fire, making the disco lifestyle seem so fun and glamorous and exciting, the deadly AIDS virus spread like wildfire, killing both heterosexual and homosexual victims by the millions before it was over.
With such a deadly and wide spread killer on the loose - transmitted primarily by sexual contact - then why the increase in sexual promiscuity?
Sadly, it would be almost a decade before we had any answers to that question - at the cost of millions of lives.
