A now disproven 1984 paper linked 40 AIDS patients by sexual contact. Of those patients, Dugas was the first to experience an onset of symptoms of AIDS.
In the above graph, Dugas is represented by the number 0. Because Dugas was very forthcoming in helping researchers, Michael Worobey concludes there may be in the study.A study published in in 1984 traced many early infections to an unnamed infected gay male flight attendant.
Initially, however, the CDC researcher, Dr. William Darrow, who was studying cases in Los Angeles, California, referred to Dugas not as 'patient zero', but as 'patient O', the letter 'O' standing for 'Out-of-California'.Dugas is featured prominently in 's book (1987), which documents the outbreak of the. Shilts portrays Dugas as having almost sociopathic behavior by allegedly intentionally infecting, or at least recklessly endangering, others with the virus. Dugas is described as being a charming, handsome sexual athlete who, according to his own estimation, averaged hundreds of sex partners per year.
He claimed to have had over 2,500 sexual partners across North America since becoming sexually active in 1972. In 's 2016 book, Shilts's editor expressed his regret for having 'made a conscious decision to vilify Dugas in the book and publicity campaign in order to spur sales.' Genetic analysis historically provided some support for the theory, in which Dugas was believed to be part of a cluster of homosexual men who traveled frequently, were extremely sexually active, and died of AIDS at a very early stage in the epidemic. Re-examination of 'Patient Zero' hypothesis. See also:A number of authorities have since voiced reservations about the implications of the CDC's Patient Zero study and characterizations of Dugas as being responsible for bringing HIV to cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. In the Patient Zero study, the average length of time between sexual contact and the onset of symptoms was 10 1⁄ 2 months.

While Shilts's book does not make such an allegation, the rumor that Dugas was the principal disseminator of the virus became widespread. In 1988, Andrew R. Moss published an opposing view in.In 2016, a group of researchers led by Dr. Michael Worobey conducted a genetic study that looked at blood samples taken from gay and bisexual men in 1978 and 1979 as part of a study, and based on the results of the data, concluded that Dugas was not the source of the virus in the U.S. 'On the family tree of the virus, Dugas fell in the middle, not at the beginning.'
'Beliefs about Patient Zero,' Worobey concludes, 'are unsupported by scientific data.' Worobey's paper, published in in October 2016, finds 'neither biological nor historical evidence that he was the primary case in the US or for B as a whole.'

A study by historian Richard McKay of Cambridge and others identified several causes for the Patient Zero myth. During early CDC analysis of cases in California, patient 057 (Dugas) was nicknamed patient 'O' for 'Out-of-California', but this was interpreted by others as Patient Zero. Dugas was particularly helpful in tracing his network of partners, providing names and addresses for many of them, which was further expanded because others remembered his distinctive name. Although many of the patients analyzed reported in excess of 1000 sexual partners, most remembered 'only a handful' of names, making their contacts to other cases more difficult to trace.Dr. Grant, an AIDS researcher at the, has stated: 'No one wants to be the Patient Zero of their village. But this may be helpful because it says, 'Just because you are the first to be diagnosed doesn't mean you started the epidemic.' 'Two films, 's musical comedy film (1993) and 's documentary (2019), have also debunked the Patient Zero myth around Dugas.See also.
