Between October 1980 and May 1981, the patients sought care at three Los Angeles area hospitals, presenting with PCP and other, unusual opportunistic infections, like <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/cytomegalovirusinfections.html\">cytomegalovirus (CMV)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/yeastinfections.html\">candidiasis<\/a>. One patient had recovered from Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma, a cancer that HIV positive people are at increased risk of developing, a few years prior. The editorial notes suggest that some cellular-immune deficiency was at work, although it was unclear what role PCP or CMV played in the dysfunction of the body\u2019s defenses. Despite treatment, two patients had died at the time of publication. The remaining three would perish soon after.<\/p>\n<p>After the article\u2019s publication and media coverage by outlets like the Associated Press, reports of opportunistic infections among men who have sex with men came from urban centers across the country, prompting more scientific investigation. The CDC <a href=\"https:\/\/npin.cdc.gov\/pages\/hiv-and-aids-timeline\">established a taskforce<\/a> on June 8th and ramped up its surveillance efforts, while the NIH Clinical Center admitted its first patient with AIDS later that month. In September, the NIH and the CDC cohosted the first conference on AIDS research. In Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, LGBTQ communities began to spread the word about the new health threat through local publications and to raise money for research. Physicians in these metros led the medical response, treating illnesses, providing epidemiologists with valuable insights, and saving tissue samples to be tested in subsequent years. By December 1981, there were 337 reported cases of severe immune deficiency. The <a href=\"https:\/\/npin.cdc.gov\/pages\/hiv-and-aids-timeline#note3\">CDC estimates<\/a> that roughly 42,000 people were unknowingly HIV positive at the time. Not until the following year would scientists observe severe immune deficiency in other populations\u2014including newborn babies and people with hemophilia who had received blood transfusions\u2014and officially name the disease AIDS. <a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.nlm.nih.gov\/101584926X197\">Naming of the AIDS virus<\/a>, HIV, followed a few years later.<\/p>\n<p>You can explore selections from NLM’s diverse collection of historical documents through curated resources on the early history of HIV\/AIDS in the U.S. For example, the exhibition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/surviving-and-thriving\/index.html\"><em>Surviving and Thriving: AIDS, Politics, and Culture<\/em><\/a> illustrates an iconic history of AIDS from the early 1980s to the 2010s, alongside lesser-known examples of historical figures who changed the course of the epidemic. The online exhibition features links to early scientific literature published as researchers learned about the inner workings of the disease and the effects on the population. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/aidsephemera\/index.html\"><em>AIDS Ephemera<\/em><\/a> presents a selection of posters, comic, postcards, and pins from the Prints & Photographs collection. Another exhibition on AIDS posters and the community response to the disease will launch later this year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21277\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21277\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/aidsephemera\/button3.html\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"21277\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2021\/06\/04\/june-5-1981-the-first-report-of-aids-in-the-u-s\/40yr_mmwr_feature\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/40yr_MMWR_feature.jpg?fit=900%2C400&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"900,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"40yr_MMWR_feature\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"<p>Buttons created by Beowulf Thorne, ca 1995 featured in the Aids Ephemera, National Library of Medicine<\/p>\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/40yr_MMWR_feature.jpg?fit=300%2C133&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/40yr_MMWR_feature.jpg?fit=840%2C373&ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-21277 size-full\" title=\"Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia, Cytomegalic Retinitis, Cryptococcal Meningitis.
