Dr. Joseph Mazza gives this 1987 lecture on AIDS, beginning with the chronology of the discovery of the disease and subsequent developments up until its status as a pandemic. Graphs and charts depict the current rate of infection around the world, and projections are given on the expected expansion of AIDS in the coming years and the impact this will have. High risk groups are identified, as are methods of transmission, costs of caring for patients, and common opportunistic infections that AIDS makes infected individuals vulnerable to.
