获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)是由一种或一族逆转录病毒引起的,以全身免疫系统严重损害为特征的传染性疾病。据1985年4月中旬在美国亚特兰大举行的国际AIDS专题会议上报道,已确诊并上报的AIDS病人已达11,000例,估计全世界已感染AIDS病毒的人近100万。另外,据世界卫生组织统计,截止1985年8月底全世界罹患AIDS的病人已超过14,000例。流行病学资料表明,本病的流行尚未达到高峰,预测今后数年AIDS的发病率将继续保持逐年增长的趋势。据推测,美国1986～1987年将要增加新的AIDS病人约40,000例。
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a contagious disease caused by one or a group of retroviruses that is characterized by severe systemic immune system damage. According to an international AIDS conference held in Atlanta in mid-April 1985, 11,000 AIDS patients have been diagnosed and reported. It is estimated that nearly 1 million people in the world are already infected with AIDS virus. In addition, according to the World Health Organization, more than 14,000 patients worldwide have AIDS by the end of August 1985. Epidemiological data show that the prevalence of this disease has not reached its peak, the incidence of AIDS in the next few years is expected to continue to maintain the trend of increasing year by year. Presumably, the United States will add about 40,000 new AIDS patients from 1986 to 1987.
