	AIDS in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Activists and critics of current AIDS policies allege that another preventable impediment to the attack on the disease was the academic elitism of "celebrity" scientists.
		As of 2005 HIV cases in the United States are disproportionately high among the African American community, according to the CDC.
		A recent study (Bogart and Thorburn 2005) by the RAND Corporation and Oregon State University reported that half of African-Americans in the United States believe AIDS was man-made, more than one-quarter said they believed AIDS was produced in a government laboratory and 12% believed it was created and spread by the CIA.

	AIDS conspiracy theories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These theories generally state that the disease was designed to deliberately wipe out a certain segment of the population in an act of genocide and/or was created as biowarfare research.
		Boyd E. Graves postulates that AIDS was the culmination of biowarfare research conducted by the U.S. Government (and later, by the Soviet government) throughout the 20th century.
		Mbeki drew on the ideas of AIDS dissidents, such as National Institutes of Health Outstanding Investigator Peter Duesberg, MacArthur Genius grant recipient Robert Root-Bernstein, and Nobel Prize in Chemistry recipient Kary Mullis (inventor of polymerase chain reaction), who have argued that HIV does not cause AIDS, or is not the sole factor in AIDS etiology.

	Nat' Academies Press, The Social Impact of AIDS in the United States (1993)
		Given the broad influence of religion in the United States, the response of religious organizations and individuals is a factor in the effort to control the epidemic and to care for those affected by it.
		As members disclosed how AIDS was affecting them and called on their congregations for care and support, the magnitude of the epidemic became more difficult to deny, and harsh judgments tended to wane when the person infected or the family affected was loved or respected.
		The Social Impact of Aids in the United States Given the size and the organizational strength of the Roman Catholic church, its participation in AIDS activities is important.

	HIV and AIDS --- United States, 1981--2000
		Since the first AIDS cases were reported in the United States in June 1981, the number of cases and deaths among persons with AIDS increased rapidly during the 1980s followed by substantial declines in new cases and deaths in the late 1990s.
		Trends in estimated AIDS diagnoses and deaths of persons with AIDS were adjusted for reporting delays based on the number of cases reported to CDC through June 2000, and for anticipated reclassification of cases originally reported without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection risk information.
		AIDS in the United States remains primarily an epidemic affecting MSM and racial/ethnic minorities.

	Perinatally Acquired HIV/AIDS—United States, 1997
		In these states, perinatally exposed children are monitored to determine their HIV-infection and AIDS status, dates of maternal HIV tests, receipt of prenatal care, and maternal and neonatal use of ZDV and other antiretrovirals during pregnancy.
		From 1992 to 1996, declines were similar by race/ethnicity, regions of the United States, and in urban and rural areas (Table 1).
		Substantial decreases in perinatal transmission of HIV have been documented in the United States and in some European countries (10); however, most HIV-infected children are born in developing countries.

		AIDS is devastating whole societies and economies, depriving countries of the educated and skilled individuals required to build democratic governments, professional militaries, and free market economies.
		More than 13 million children worldwide are AIDS orphans (12 million in Africa alone), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) estimates that by the end of the decade there will be more than 40 million AIDS orphans in Africa, equal to the number of all children under 18 living east of the Mississippi.
		The United States will also need to work with the international financial institutions to demarcate reasonable and rapid terms for debt relief—whether through the enhanced Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative or other programs—so that resources are available to and wisely spent by affected countries.

	The Past, Present and Future of AIDS in the United States
		In 1983, through the combined efforts of the United States and France (laboratory of Robert Gallo at the National Institutes of Health and Professor Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute, respectively), the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) isolation was achieved and the two nations shared the commendation.
		Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute was recognized for the first isolation of the HIV virus and Robert Gallo of the National Institutes for Health was accredited with the ability to reproduce the virus and acknowledged for the invention of the diagnostic tests.
		So it would be reasonable to assume that AIDS cases in the United States follow a bell curve from a low in the early 1980’s to a high in the mid-1990s to another low today in 2002.

	Understanding AIDS
		Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS, was first reported in mid-1981 in the United States; it is believed to have originated in Sub-Saharan Africa.
		The credit for discovering the AIDS virus is jointly shared by Dr. Robert Gallo, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute, and Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute, France.
		These illnesses are referred to as “opportunistic” infections or diseases: in AIDS patients the most common are Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), a parasitic infection of the lungs, and a type of cancer known as Kaposi's sarcoma (KS).

		In 2002, AIDS was the sixth leading cause of death among Americans aged 25 to 44, having dropped from first within the past few years.
		This trend is due to several factors including the improved prophylaxis and treatment of opportunistic infections, the growing experience among the health professions in caring for HIV-infected individuals, improved access to health care, and a decrease in new infections due to saturational effects and prevention efforts.
