Description:

cdc:50022

Forty years ago, CDC first reported on Pneumocystis pneumonia in five previously healthy young gay men in Los Angeles. Published on June 5, 1981, in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), this was the first CDC report of what would be known as HIV. The first U.S. cases in women were reported later that same year. Over the next five years, 29,000 cases of HIV/AIDS were reported in the U.S. With no effective treatment available for 15 years, death was the only certain outcome.

This public health crisis triggered unprecedented activism that drove support for the thousands of people dying from the virus each year.
