Hartford, CT Lines: 25 Xref: mnetor net.med:3411 net.legal:3634 soc.motss:3 net.kids:2824 CBS national news of 18 September 1986 carried a section on AIDS in central Africa. According to CBS AIDS was first recogized there in 1983 and has now spread to 20% of the general population - men, women, and CHILDREN. Three-year-olds and under may have contracted the disease from their mothers at or before birth; adults through sexual contact. However, many of the infected children shown were patently more than three years old. HOW DID THEY GET AIDS? Discussion, anyone?

Assurances by experts that there is no danger to the general populace are not to be trusted b. We should be PREPARED to take drastic [legal] action to fight the epidemic)
