 On June 5, 1981, MMWR published a report of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in five previously healthy young men in Los Angeles, California; two had died (1). This report later was acknowledged as the first published scientific account of what would become known as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Thirty years after that first report, the most recent estimate is that 33.3 million persons were living with HIV infection worldwide at the end of 2009 (2).
 In the United States, CDC estimates that 1,178,350 persons were living with HIV at the end of 2008 (3), with 594,496 having died from AIDS since 1981 (4)."

 Em 05 de junho de 1981, a MMWR publicou um artigo sobre a ocorrência de pneumonia por Pneumocystis carinii em cinco jovens previamente saudáveis ​​em Los Angeles, Califórnia; dois morreram (1). Este artigo mais tarde foi reconhecido como sendo o primeiro relato científico publicado do que se tornaria conhecido posteriormente como vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) e síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (aids). Trinta anos depois deste primeiro artigo, a estimativa mais recente é que existiam 33,3 milhões de pessoas vivendo com HIV/aids em todo o mundo no final de 2009 (2).
 Nos Estados Unidos, os CDC estimam que 1.178.350 pessoas estavam vivendo com HIV/aids no final de 2008 (3), com 594.496 que morreram de aids desde 1981 (4).
