Recommendations concerning AIDS

Abstract

"AIDS is a contagious virus disease which leads to morbidity and high mortality. Its exponential rate of spread is giving great cause for concern, since the number of recorded cases in the European Community is doubling approximately every nine months. On the basis of these recent trends, and in the absence of an appropriate vaccine, one hundred thousand Europeans could have AIDS by 19901.

Statistical modelling also estimates that for every person with clinical AIDS there are between 50 and 100 asymptomatic carriers."
