	Information on HIV And AIDS - Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
		When human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the virus that cause AIDS) invades key white blood (immune) cells called T lymphocytes and multiplies, it causes a breakdown in the body's immune system, eventually leading to overwhelming infection or cancer and, ultimately death.
		Most deaths among people with AIDS are not caused by AIDS itself, but by one of the many infections or cancers to which the syndrome makes the body vulnerable.
		Essentially, AIDS is experienced as a series of various illnesses made possible by the initial HIV infection.

	AIDS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		AIDS is an acronym for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and is defined as a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the depletion of the immune system caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, commonly called HIV.
		The official date for the beginning of the AIDS epidemic is marked as June 18, 1981, when the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported a cluster of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (now classified as Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia) in five gay men in Los Angeles in the early 1980s.
		Reporter Randy Shilts discovered the name of an extremely sexually active man, Gaëtan Dugas, who epidemiologists at the time suspected to be the first carrier of what was first called "gay-plague", but later research failed to track the epidemic to any individual carrier.

		While the disease was making headlines for the speed with which it was spreading around the world, the cause of AIDS remained unidentified.

	Update: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome -- United States
		Because, historically, most health departments have not required reporting of the additional manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection included in the expanded case definition (HIV dementia complex, chronic wasting syndrome, etc.), the number of cases that will be added to existing case counts as a result of this revision is unknown.
		Since most patients with the wasting syndrome and HIV dementia develop the opportunistic diseases included in the previous AIDS case definition, addition of these conditions to the case definition may result in earlier reporting without adding substantially to the ultimate case count.

	Women and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome: Issues for Prevention
		Although as of 1987 women comprised only 7% of all the reported AIDS patients in the United States, they are an important potential source for heterosexual human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission as well as the source of transmission to infants.
		In New York State in early 1988, 1 in 61 infants was born with the antibodies to the AIDS virus (Josephs, 1988).
		Among women who acquired HIV through sexual transmission, their infection could invariably be traced to one partner—an ongoing steady male partner who had a history of IV drug use or who was bisexual.
