Here is the CDC surveillance data. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/reports/2004report/default.htm\n\nBear in mind that AIDS and HIV are SEPARATE conditions. It's a lot of data, so sort through it carefully.

about 25 years ago. Strange that you ask this question since there was a special covering it on FRONTLINE. You can watch it online here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/aids/view/\n\nIt was called Frontline: The Age of AIDS\n\n\n\nFirst known case of human HIV infection\nA blood sample is taken in 1959 from a man living in Leopoldville, Belgian Congo, now Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire). For decades, the sample is stored away in a freezer. In 1998, after sophisticated testing is developed for HIV, the blood sample from 1959 is tested and confirmed as positive for HIV.\n\ntaken from same website - there is actually a time line at this link here:\n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/aids/cron/crontext.html

On the basis that you were indeed asking for websites which the previous respondent seemed to forget, here is one that might provide some useful info.  It is my own site, a little in need of a pruning but has a substantial amount of HIV information.\n\nhttp://www.mark.lineisp.co.uk/hiv1.htm

HIV treatment involves a lot of different drugs.  The typical treatment is triple drug combination therapy.  It's also called HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy.)  It's 3 different drugs that hit the virus in different stages of development.  There are several combinations of different drugs that can be involved.\n\nThere are also a newer drug called a fusion inhibitor that prevents HIV from attaching itself to a T-Cell.\n\nAll of these drugs treat the virus (HIV).  AIDS is a condition brought on my long term infection with HIV.  Triple drug combination therapy will increase T-Cell counts & reduce the amount of virus in a patient - which will make them healthier.\n\nThese drugs all have side-effects & are a huge commitment to patients.  Missing doses of the pills can cause the virus to mutate and grow resistant to the drugs.\n\nThere are several treatments available for the various opportunistic infections that hit people with AIDS.\n\nTriple drug combination therapy has extended AIDS patients lives by many, many years.  Scientists speculate that people can live a long healthy life on these drugs.

AIDS is the final stage of the HIV virus. You contract HIV, not AIDS.\n\nAt first there may not be any symptoms at all. The virus can live in the body without showing any symptoms for up to 10 years untreated. Symptoms do not seriously begin to develop until the virus has moved into the AIDS stage, which is the final stage of HIV infection. Within this stage, symptoms include:\n\n Mild: fatigue, unexplained weight loss, mild fever, diarrhea, and sore throat.\n Severe: loss of appetite, skin diseases, night sweats, and deterioration of mucous membranes.\n\n The best bet is to get tested regularly if you engage in risky sexual activity, or use injection drugs. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local department of public health. Free testing is available, as well as risk reduction, and post-infection counseling.

Most of early HIV is without symptoms, but some people can get a flu-like illness with fever, fatigue, sore throat, rash, swollen glands and general weakness. Some say it's like the worst flu of their life. But many people have no symptoms, so if someone has been exposed, the most important thing is to get tested.\n\nAn xray is the only way to detect pneumonia.\n\nHIV is a virus.  AIDS is a diagnosis of progressive HIV and there will always be a second illness; cancer, pneumonia, etc. in order to have an AIDS diagnosis.\n\nOne of my dear friends is HIV+.  I suspect her telling me she needs a liver transplant means she has progress to having an AIDS diagnosis.  She is 5'10" about 90 pounds.  Unprotrected sex after the divorce of her 1st husband :(

STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Just going by that, you should realize there is no sense in your question.\n\nHIV is one of the many sources of STDs, in this case, the STD being AIDS.

As you may already know, AIDS is the disease that develops from the viral infection HIV.  All AIDS means is when the person's body falls victim to an everyday infection because of a weakened immune system.  The only sure way to test for HIV is to have an HIV antibody test...  :) hope this helps!
