FOREWORD
Dr. William A. Haseltine??? a leading AIDS researcher at
the Harvard Medical School in Boston has warned that
the AIDS epidemic will produce an \"enormous\" and
\"frightening\" effect on world health that public health
officials may be \"relatively powerless to contaiff .
Dr. Haseltine... painted one of the most frightening
pictures of AIDS yet put forth by any prominent scientist.
He noted that perhaps a million people in the United
States??? and conceivably 2o million worldwide??? had already
been infected with the virus??? even though only a small
percentage had yet become sick.
\"We must be prepared to anticipate that the vast major-
ity of those now infected will ultimately??? over a period of
five to ten years??? develop life-threatening illness\"??? he said.
The Harvard scientist also warned that \"outstanding
citizens\" in New York City who visit prostitutes have a
one in five chance of contracting the virus and taking it
home to infect their wives.
Even the blood supply is \"not entirely safe\"??? despite
new screening tests??? he said??? and perhaps 2???ooo cases of
infection each year can be expected from contaminated
blood donations. Noting that chlamydia??? a venereal
disease??? had infected twenty percent to thirty percent of
the college women tested in some studies??? Dr. Haseltine
said it seemed likely that the AIDS virus??? also sexually
transmitted??? \"may reach similar high levels\". (E M. Boffey???

has accurately compiled a vast amount of research
