Only after this and much, much more background work (such as identifying the fact that AIDS patients had an inverted CD4:CD8 T-cell ratio, which in turn required work that enabled immunologists to distinguish between these two classes of T-cells) had been done, was it even reasonable to begin looking for a virus that could infect CD4+ T-cells. See for example:

The virologists who eventually isolate ("isolate" does not mean to make 100% pure, it only means to get the virus growing in cell cultures and be able to passage the virus from one culture to another) and characterize (serological characterization is critical, electron microspcopy only helps to determine what the virus looks like but all lentiviruses look alike and it is even possible to confuse a lentivirus with other classes of retorviruses by EM) the virus tend to be the heros in the press. However, culturing and characterizing a single isolate of the HIV-1 M group of viruses is neither the beginning, nor the end of HIV/AIDS research. Much work was done both before and after 1983.
