By 1987, over 70,000 people in the United States had been diagnosed with HIV, and in this year, President Reagan spoke publicly for the first time about the crisis. U.S. News investigates the effects of the virus on a small West Virginia town. "He got sick in Dallas, and he sought refuge in his native West Virginia. But a small town, he soon learned, is no haven for an AIDS victim."
Charlie Archambault for USN&WR
