In 1981 the condition that was later to be known as the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was described, and in 1983 its causative agent, the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), was isolated. The past 15 years have led to a growing awareness of the global nature of the epidemic and, in parallel with it, to the recognition of its medical, socioeconomic and psychological consequences. In the UK, almost 12 000 AIDS cases have been reported since 1982, and more than 25 000 cases of HIV-1 infection have been identified since 1984. Most cases of AIDS and HIV-1 have been in the Thames Regions, and it is expected that this geographical pattern will continue until the end of the decade.
