Review
The increasing number of women with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or with serologic evidence of exposure should alert practicing obstetricians and gynecologists to expect to encounter symptomatic or asymptomatic patients who have been exposed to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The author discusses the role of the obstetrician-gynecologist in the management of AIDS patients and reviews the pertinent literature.

Review
In this article I have addressed many of the AIDS issues of concern to immunologists and allergists, both as citizens, physicians, and as specialists. HIV infection (AIDS) is going to be with us for some time to come. However, I think some solace can be gained from the fact that the human race has faced many such contagions in the past for example, bubonic plague, cholera, syphilis, and most recently, polio, to name a few. We are very fortunate today to have the scientific and medical tools that have provided us with tremendous insight into the basic and clinical aspects of this disease. These tools and a large cadre of dedicated people who have declared a war on AIDS will provide the answers.

Review
The time from the recognition that AIDS was an infectious disease, to the discovery of HIV as the causative agent and the identification of the first specific antiviral agent that showed some clinical benefit, was impressively short. Over the last few years it would appear that progress against AIDS has slowed down considerably. Neither new treatments nor vaccines have given much grounds for optimism and back to basics has been the main battle cry. However it is easy to overlook the tremendous improvements that have taken place in the management of HIV disease in the absence of a curative treatment. Many of the opportunistic infections that used to kill patients are not only treatable but are able to be treated prophylactically. This has altered the clinical spectrum of disease with many patients surviving several years with virtually no CD4 lymphocytes only to succumb to other HIV related disease such as non Hodgkins lymphoma. This review identifies the major advances that have occurred in our understanding of AIDS and identifies the major problems to be overcome in the next few years at both the clinical and basic levels.
