title: AIDS: state of the art, spring 1988.
abstract: In this article I have addressed many of the AIDS issues of concern to immunologists and allergists, both as citizens, physicians, and as specialists. HIV infection (AIDS) is going to be with us for some time to come. However, I think some solace can be gained from the fact that the human race has faced many such contagions in the past for example, bubonic plague, cholera, syphilis, and most recently, polio, to name a few. We are very fortunate today to have the scientific and medical tools that have provided us with tremendous insight into the basic and clinical aspects of this disease. These tools and a large cadre of dedicated people who have declared a war on AIDS will provide the answers.
