Summary:
|
Twenty-five years ago on June 5, 1981, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the first warning about a disease that would become know as AIDS. In the early years of the epidemic, fear and misinformation were pervasive, as researchers worked to identify and understand the virus and how it spread. Since that time, AIDS has changed the world, growing into a global pandemic affecting tens of millions of men, women and children. The Kaiser Family Foundation is releasing two new documents that provide historical perspective on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States -- a new report on the history and development of national HIV/AIDS- focused media campaigns and a chart pack of key trends in the U.S. epidemic. |
