Abstract
AIDS occurs worldwide, affecting both adults and children on all major continents. Much progress has been made since the disease was first described in 1981. The causative agent, HIV, has been discovered and isolated. A screening test to protect the blood supply is widely available. Researchers have determined how the virus can be inactivated in vitro.
Most importantly, the modes of transmission of HIV are understood. Effective risk-reduction recommendations have been made; until specific vaccines or therapies are available, education will be the primary public health weapon for combating this epidemic.
