    Episode One: Dr. Joseph Sonnabend

    Episode One: Dr. Joseph Sonnabend

    On July 3, 1981, the New York Times publishes an article titled "Rare Cancer Seen in 41 Homosexuals." This article is the first mention of AIDS in a mainstream media outlet and marks a turning point in queer history. But, the article could have been published much earlier.
    This is the story of Dr. Joseph Sonnabend, a physician in New York's West Village, and his early push to get the medical establishment to act quickly on a new illness that was impacting gay men.
