 AB    Since the recognition of AIDS in 1981, it has become a global pandemic
       afflicting more than 6 million people worldwide. To date, more than 22
       million people are infected with HIV-1, the cause of AIDS, and more than
       40 million people may be infected with HIV by the year 2000. In the
       United States, AIDS has become the leading cause of death in young men
       and the fourth leading cause of death in young women. HIV is primarily
       transmitted sexually, parenterally, and perinatally, with increasing
       evidence of heterosexual transmission in the United States and
       worldwide. Factors associated with transmission and susceptibility to
       HIV are discussed, and the natural history of HIV and means of
       intervention are detailed in this article.
