Surgeon General's report on acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

نویسنده

  • C E Koop
چکیده

Koop reports to the American people on the AIDS epidemic, including how the disease is transmitted, the relative risks of infection, and how people can protect themselves from infection.

He opposes, as unwarranted, controversial proposals to institute compulsory blood testing, quarantine, or identification of AIDS carriers by some visible sign.
