Gay-related immune deficiency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Gay-related immune deficiency (GRID) (sometimes informally called the gay
plague) was the 1982 name first proposed to describe an "unexpected cluster
of cases"[1] of what is now known as AIDS,[2] after public health scientists
noticed clusters of Kaposi's sarcoma and pneumocystis pneumonia among gay
males in Southern California and New York City.[1]
During the early history of AIDS, when it was considered a disease of
homosexual men, one physician suggested that male homosexuals reconsider the
practice of engaging in anonymous sex.[3]
An ad hoc organization called Gay Men's Health Crisis was founded to combat
what appeared to be a homosexual-only disease produced by sexual promiscuity
, intravenous drug use, and/or usage of poppers. Soon after, clusters of
Kaposi's sarcoma and Pneumocystis pneumonia were also reported among
Haitians recently entering the United States[4] and hemophiliacs, among
female sexual partners of AIDS patients, and among blood transfusion
recipients with no obvious risk factors.
The term AIDS (for acquired immune deficiency syndrome) was proposed in 1982
[5] by researchers concerned with the accuracy of the disease's name. In
this new name, scientists were supported by political figures who realized
that the term "gay-related" did not fully encompass the demographics of the
disease. On April 23, 1984, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Secretary announced at a press conference that the probable cause of AIDS
had been discovered: the retrovirus subsequently named human
immunodeficiency virus or HIV in 1986.
