Transfusion-associated AIDS(TA-AIDS) and AIDS dementia.

Lele Rd, Parekh Sj, Wadia Nh · PubMed · 1986

Worldwide about 200 cases of transfusion-related acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have been reported in the medical literature with an average incubation period of 54 months. This article describes the case of a 56-year-old native of Bombay who underwent coronary artery graft bypass surgery in New York in 1980. In 1983 the patient developed low-grade fever persistent oral Candida infection fatigue and weight loss. Treatment for suspected pulmonary tuberculosis was ineffective. By 1986 the man was also experiencing recurrent diarrhea mental deterioration apathy tremors of the hands unsteadiness of gait and dizziness. Examination at that time revealed extensive oral and esophageal candidiasis severe anemia a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate and leukopenia. Computerized tomographic scan of the head showed bilateral cortical atrophy but no focal lesions. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III). That patient died 2 weeks after his 1986 admission. It appears that numerous AIDS patients manifest cerebral atrophy before there are any overt signs of dementia. All immunosuppressed patients who are not taking corticosteroid or immunosuppressive drugs should to tested for the AIDS virus and compulsory testing of all blood sperm and tissue donations is recommended.

Fight AIDS with ‘AIDS’: role of anti-AIDS stamps in HIV/AIDS prevention

Utpal Sanyal · AIDS · 2006

It is universally recognized that anti-AIDS postage stamps can play a significant role in various ways to create awareness, which is absolutely essential because approximately 4.9 million people were newly infected with HIV and approximately 3.1 million people died from AIDS worldwide in 2005 [1]. A stamp from Brunei describes the threat of death (stamp 1, Fig. 1a). The first cases of AIDS victims were officially detected in the United States in 1981. A French stamp issued in 1994 honors the research carried out at the Pasteur Institute in 1983 that identified HIV as its cause (stamp 2). An attractive Ethiopian stamp (stamp 3) shows how a healthy individual infected with HIV gradually becomes sick as a result of the onset of AIDS leading to death. A stamp from Peru graphically represents its exponential spread (stamp 4). Stamps have also been used for fund raising (stamp 5).Fig. 1: Anti-AIDS stamps. (a) Stamps 1–21. (b) Stamps 22–37. First day miniature sheet from Nigeria released on 1 December 2002 (picture 2). (c) First day official cachet from United Nations, New York headquarters, released on 1 December 1993 (picture 1). Cover released on the occasion of the 1st Canadian World AIDS day philatelic exhibition on 1 December 1993 (picture 3).Fig. 1: (Continued)Fig. 1: (Continued)After the declaration of 1 December as World AIDS day by UNAIDS in 1988, San Marino and Yugoslavia issued new stamps (stamps 6 and 7), whereas Ethiopia and Bhutan overprinted their earlier stamps with ‘World AIDS day’ (stamps 8 and 9). Since then many countries have published regular or semipostal stamps, and various postal materials (stamps 10 and 11). To our knowledge, approximately 55 countries up to 1995 and up to now over 100 countries have released approximately 120 and 300 stamps, respectively, and cancellations, etc. Starting in 1994 (stamps 12–15) Macedonia has issued a number of stamps. The United Nations has also published many stamps since 1990. A special cover with cancellation was printed by its New York headquarters on 1 December 1993 on the occasion of an anti-AIDS stamp release by the United States (picture 1, Fig. 1c). South Africa has published a booklet of 10 stamps. Anti-AIDS stamps cover various aspects of HIV/AIDS. After the acceptance of the red ribbon as its symbol in 1991, the red ribbon started appearing on stamps (USA stamp in picture 1, stamp 11). Stamps have borne the theme of the World AIDS day in different years (picture 2, Fig. 1b). Stamps from Brunei and Bangladesh have told how HIV/AIDS is spread through: (i) unprotected sex; (ii) infected blood and blood products; (iii) the use of unsterilized needles; and (iv) from an HIV-positive mother to her baby (stamps 16 and 17). One should therefore always use condoms for having sex with an unknown person because ‘once is enough’ (stamp 18) for HIV infection. Stamps have depicted a picture of a condom (stamps 15 and 19); have made people aware about using safe blood and testing blood (stamps 20 and 21); and have described the importance of sterilizating syringes, needles and other instruments (stamps 22 and 23, Fig. 1b). Ongoing research is considered vital, as pointed out on stamp 24. The structure of HIV is depicted on some stamps (stamps 25–27). Sri Lanka (1990) and St Lucia (2004) have issued stamps about proper education at all levels (stamps 28–30). Stamps have pointed out the need for voluntary counseling and testing centres (stamp 31) and community health programmes (stamp 32). Commemorative stamps have been issued on important conferences, e.g. the Japanese stamp 33 on the 10th International AIDS Congress in 1994; the Malaysian stamp 34 on the 5th International Congress on AIDS in Asia and in the Pacific in 1999. AIDS patients have higher incidences and death rates from malignancies such as Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, genital cancers, etc. Therefore, HIV/AIDS awareness is also important from a cancer prevention perspective, and such stamps have been included in anti-cancer campaigns [2]. The global fight against HIV/AIDS will continue until success is achieved in its control and eradication (stamp 35). We believe that the best way to fight AIDS is another ‘AIDS’ derived from the first letter of four English words: ‘Awareness’, ‘Information’, ‘Determination’ and ‘Support’. Three keywords, namely Awareness, Education and Support are to be found in the cover released on the occasion of the 1st Canadian World AIDS day philatelic exhibition (picture 3, Fig. 1c). All types of support, such as proper medication and care, financial support, nursing, and above all a touch of humanity, are essential for AIDS patients (picture 2, stamp 36). Let us be united in the fight against AIDS, but not the people with it, as was beautifully described in a stamp issued by Lesotho (stamp 37). Acknowledgements The author would sincerely like to thank his colleagues, many Indian and international friends, and stamp dealers for their help in various ways.

AIDS and Testing for AIDS

David E. Dassey · JAMA · 1986

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> The otherwise excellent update on human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) antibody testing<sup>1</sup>contains a statement that I believe needs correcting. It states that practitioners may receive referrals of antibody-positive persons for "medical counseling on a fatal and incurable disease... that has an incubation period of up to five years." Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is not a disease; it is a syndrome whose criteria were strictly chosen for epidemiologic purposes. By definition, then, AIDS encompasses the fatal form of HTLV-III disease. Evidence mounts that those with irreversible disease due to HTLV-III represent only a small fraction of all those infected. The term "incubation" should not be used in regard to development of the terminal form of this viral infection; if anything, "incubation" should refer to the period between exposure and the development of biochemical or clinical objective findings. Used in this way, the incubation of

AIDS before AIDS. An Introduction

E Betta · IRIS Research product catalog (Sapienza University of Rome) · 2024

This issue of «Quaderni storici» aims to examine the history of AIDS, focusing on the initial phase of the epidemic, which began with the collection of the first data in California and New York in 1981. This marked the start of a period of transition during which the infection emerged and manifested itself, causing illness and death without yet being understood in terms of its pathological characteristics, etiology, or treatments. As scientific and biomedical knowledge became more defined and consolidated during this phase, it became clear that the pace of scientific knowledge production, social management, and political intervention differed, creating tension between them. This issue explores the asynchronies and tensions of these processes in order to understand the social practices – including institutional practices in their contextual genesis – that were at work during this historical juncture.
