Summary: Against A.I.D.S. (Press, 17 April 1985)
AIDS, officially recognised as a disease since June 1981, has affected over 8000 individuals in the United States, predominantly impacting homosexual men, Haitian immigrants, haemophiliacs, and intravenous drug users. Most fatalities among AIDS patients result from opportunistic infections and diseases due to the compromised immune system caused by the virus. Despite the lack of a cure for AIDS, researchers in the United States and France have identified closely-related viruses that appear to be the underlying cause of the condition. Ongoing efforts continue in the medical community to advance understanding and treatment for those affected by this serious health crisis.
