Description
English: The first cases of AIDS were diagnosed in New York City in 1977, but the disease AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) was first recognized as an infection in 1981 and as caused by a virus in 1984. By 1995 the entire genetic structure of the virus was worked out and by 1996 chemicals designed as drugs called "protease inhibitors", to interfere specifically with one of the seven different genes were being administered to patients. (John Maddox, The Oxford History of the 20th century p.42) In 2001, three diseases namely AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria collectively killed 5.7 million people worldwide. Kofi Anan formed the United Nations Global Fund to fight these diseases and called for members of the United Nations to raise U.S. Dollars seven billion each year to bring them under control around the globe.
