Abstract

The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic has spread to almost all countries in the world. This disease is responsible for and will be the cause of enormous morbidity and morality in all countries but particularly in the third world countries. Even with widespread underreporting of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infections in many developed and underdeveloped countries, 266,000 AIDS cases have been reported in 156 countries. Between 1981 and 1990, the World Health Organization (WHO) conservatively estimates that more than 500,000 cases have occurred worldwide and 300,000 have died (Chin and Mann, 1989; Mann and Chin, 1988a). When HIV-1 was isolated as the cause of AIDS (Barre-Sinoussi, 1983; Gallo et al. 1984), epidemiologists noted that the large number of HIV-1 infected patients with the clinical syndrome of AIDS was only a small segment of the total number of persons infected with HIV-1. These asymptomatic patients are the most prevalent group of infected persons and are the vector by which the disease continues to spread even in the face of control and prevention programs. The WHO recently estimated that by the year 2000 there will be 14 million asymptomatic HIV-1 infected persons (Chin and Mann, 1989; Piot et al. 1990; World Health Organization, 1989b), and at least 6,000,000 of these infected persons will die of AIDS within the 10 years.
