| Tuesday, June 5, 2001 will mark twenty years since the Centers for Disease Control published a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) of a new disease, which was affecting gay men. This report heralded the beginning of what we now know as the AIDS pandemic. The signifi-cance of the day cannot be understated. OITM encourages its readers to take a moment on this day to remember those who have been, are and will be afflicted by HIV/AIDS. |
