Abstract
Since the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was first described in 1981, thousands of papers have been written on all aspects of the disease, from basic virology through social psychology. With few exceptions,1 , 2 however, little has been said about the effect of AIDS on medical education. This paper considers several levels at which the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic poses a challenge to medical education and proposes a set of responses with which training programs in internal medicine can better incorporate and accommodate this new disease.Visible Issues"I'd just as soon not take the risk"Apprehension about the occupational transmission . . .Keywords
