Abstract
Over the past two years, the National Commission on AIDS has held hearings almost monthly to gain a better understanding of America's relentlessly advancing epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We have issued four interim reports containing our findings and recommendations,1 2 3 4 and a comprehensive two-year report will be published this fall. During this period, there has been measurable progress in treatment, in legislation to discourage discrimination, in the provision of federal emergency funding for the communities hardest hit by the epidemic, and in some lessening of public hostility toward people living with HIV infection or the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome . . .Keywords
