Abstract
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) first was reported in the United States in May 1981. As many as two million Americans may be infected with the AIDS virus and that number could approach five million within five years. This article reviews the discovery of AIDS and describes the biology of the disease. The problem of AIDS among children is discussed and implications for school policy decisions are cited.Keywords
