Joyce Wallace

Joyce Wallace (November 25, 1940 – October 14, 2020) was a pioneering AIDS physician. She was among the first to identify AIDS in the 1980s and worked to stop its spread among New York City's prostitutes.

She was among the first doctors to find Kaposi's sarcoma in immunodeficient gay men before AIDS was diagnosed in 1981. She also published a paper in 1981 that linked Kaposi's sarcoma with AIDS.
