On June 5, 1981, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued its first warning about a relatively rare form of pneumonia among a small group of young gay men in Los Angeles, which was later determined to be AIDS-related. Since that time, more than 750,000 cases of AIDS have been reported in the U.S. and almost half a million Americans have died of the disease. More than 36 million individuals are estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS worldwide.
On June 5, 2001, the Kaiser Family Foundation will join with the Ford Foundation to convene a National Symposium in Washington, D.C. This event, marking the 20th year of the epidemic, will focus on the policy challenges facing the United States in the epidemic's third decade. The symposium will feature national policy, research, and community experts. Findings from a new Kaiser Family Foundation national survey about American attitudes toward the epidemic in the U.S. will be presented.
