  1. 30 Years of HIV/AIDS Prepared by Krissie Guerard, MS Craig Steffens, MPH

  2. Before 1981 • “The dominant feature of this first period was silence, for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was unknown and transmission was not accompanied by signs or symptoms salient enough to be noticed. While rare, sporadic case reports of AIDS and sero-archaeological studies have documented human infections with HIV prior to 1970, available data suggest that the current pandemic started in the mid- to late 1970s. By 1980, HIV had spread to at least five continents (North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Australia). During this period of silence, spread was unchecked by awareness or any preventive action and approximately 100,000-300,000 persons may have been infected.”Jonathan Mann – 1989 • Recent studies estimate the origin of HIV to have taken place between 1884 and 1924. This was done by studying the virus’ evolution and sequencing.

  3. Before 1981 • It is generally accepted that HIV originated in Africa before starting a pandemic. HIV is a descendant from Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) that became capable of infecting humans. HIV-1 from chimpanzees and HIV-2 from sooty mangabeys. • Earliest known instances include plasma sample from an adult male from the DRC in 1959, lymph tissue of female from DRC in 1960. HIV found in tissue samples of teenager from St. Louis in 1969.

  4. 1981 • By March 1981, at least 8 cases of Karposi’s Sarcoma (KS) in New York City and cases of rare lung infection, Pneumocystiscarinii pneumonia (PCP) in New York and Los Angeles • In June, CDC published article in MMWR describing 5 cases of PCP in LA – “beginning of awareness of AIDS in US” En.wikipidia.org Aidsevidence.blogspot.com

  5. 1981 • Mode of transmission unclear in early months: "Dr. Curran said there was no apparent danger to non homosexuals from contagion. 'The best evidence against contagion', he said, 'is that no cases have been reported to date outside the homosexual community or in women'"The New York Times • By December, PCP reported in persons who were injection drug users (IDU), and it was shown that the disease affected other populations besides homosexuals. • PBS 1-2

  6. 1982 • By July, 452 cases reported to CDC from 23 states • Disease seen in hemophiliacs and persons with Haitian descent • Cases throughout European countries and Africa where it was known as “slim” or “slimming disease”
