• I'll take this one too. I will make straightforward copyedits as I go (please revert if I accidentally change the meaning), and jot notes below. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:42, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Ok, the only outstanding issue I can see that might be good to add/embellish is more information in the first para of the Career section - what she initially thought of KS and how she networked and came to the conclusion it was an AIDS-defining illness. Given her claim to fame is her medical work I think we can embellish it a bit more.

Otherwise looking Good....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:29, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

I'll refer back to the sources and see if I can flesh it out with any more details and ping you when I'm done (hopefully tomorrow). 97198 (talk) 11:13, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

@Casliber: I've read through all of the sources again and I'm afraid that this is as much detail as is available. None of the sources indicate that she concluded that KS was an AIDS-defining illness – more that she recognised the upswing of cases in immunodeficient gay men, who were later discovered to have AIDS, then dedicated the rest of her career to AIDS. 97198 (talk) 11:30, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Suggestions & comments

Evidently in the late 1980s LL was put in a psych hospital for serious side effects arising from appendectomy surgery ... but for how long was she in the psych hospital? Did she return to AIDS research and when? Apparently, post-appendectomy, her career was repeatedly sidelined, and more details on the timeline and dates in which she was actively doing research compared to when she was convalescing would be significant.
