 AB    In summary of some of the major issues raised by AIDS (Table 1), social,
       political, and economic forces all impact on the global outbreak of
       AIDS. Conversely the epidemiologic and medical realities of this disease
       have forced a reconsideration of moral and ethical values,
       prioritization of resource allocation, and pervasion of virtually every
       aspect of the health care delivery system. Advocates for AIDS funding
       have set a model for other espousing the significance of diseases
       ranging from rare disorders to breast cancer. As this issue was written
       (summer 1993), it was apparent that attention of the media had shifted
       to numerous other domestic and foreign concerns. Hopefully, when the
       Clinics next present perinatal AIDS, the pendulum will have swung back
       and there will be a wider variety of effective therapeutic agents
       available permitting longer survival of greater quality.
