Document: In this chapter, the history, science and epidemiology of HIV are discussed beginning with an overview of the origins of HIV, how it came to affect so many people and communities, and how it was navigated by both the gay community and national governments. Institutional responses to HIV and the need for high-level integrated policy development are outlined. Moreover, the role of the gay community and its activism, which was central to ensuring an appropriate response to the emerging epidemic, are examined. We discuss the crucial role of the mass media in shaping public understanding of HIV and attitudes towards the gay community and the impact of the UK’s response to the epidemic on its subsequent development over four decades.
