		<description><![CDATA[In 1981, on June 5, "Pneumocystis Pneumonia--Los Angeles," by Dr. Michael Gottlieb and colleagues of University of California at Los Angeles, appeared in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (vol. 30, pp. 250-52), a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publication. This was the first article about AIDS in the medical literature. In July of that same year, a Task Force on Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections was established at the CDC under the direction of Dr. James Curran [1].

According to Dr. Gallo and Dr. Montagnier, their work together was open and collaborative and established that AIDS or pre-AIDS exhibited a consistent molecular signature [2]. This signature was first called lymphadenopathy-associated virus (LAV) and Human T-cell-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III), and then, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Because of the significance of these initial observations, I include here several paragraphs from a recent NEJM article written jointly by Gallo and Montagnier [2]. I have emboldened for emphasis and definition purposes, certain key terminology or phrases that are critical in understanding the history of AIDS, and which will be expounded upon in this essay:<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aidshiv.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1538794&amp;post=3&amp;subd=aidshiv&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
