“…In 1983, cases of AIDS were reported in men and women in Africa (Clumeck et al, 1983) and an epidemic in the heterosexual population in both developed and developing countries became evident. It is a medical problem which now affects people in every country and is rapidly becoming a major cause of death in young people.…”

Most studies of the psychosocial implications of HIV/AIDS have been focused on the individual. This paper reviews the small but growing body of research into the impact of HIV/AIDS on the family system. Special reference is made to definitions of the family, same‐sex relationships and the African family. The impact of HIV/AIDS on the family is discussed in terms of social stigma, isolation and secrecy, stress and coping, social support, communication and disclosure, responses to illness, and changing structure and roles in families. It is anticipated that in the 1990s, the study of the family will become a dominant topic in HIV/AIDS‐related research.

“…Asymptomatic infections with Salmonella, when looked for, are more common than expected (30). Moreover, when HIV/AIDS first emerged in high-income countries, severe disease with NTS was a common presentation (31,32), suggesting that exposure to these bacteria is more widespread than appreciated.…”

“…nvasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) infection was recognized as a complication of AIDS in the early days of the HIV pandemic (4,38,40) but has become increasingly rare in developed countries in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) (24). In underdeveloped countries, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa, invasive NTS infection has emerged as a substantial problem with a high mortality in the AIDS population (6,15,27,30,36,43).…”

Microbiological Analysis of Nontyphoidal Salmonella Strains Causing Distinct Syndromes of Bacteremia or Enteritis in HIV/AIDS Patients in San Diego, California

bRecurrent invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) infection is an AIDS-defining illness that has become less common in the developed world in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), while it has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. We retrospectively analyzed Salmonella ( ؉ cell count. Of the bacteremic isolates, all but one isolate, drawn from a patient with substantial enteric comorbidities, had all of the virulence genes tested, but 66% of nonbacteremic, enteritis strains also contained all the tested virulence loci. In conclusion, neither patients' CD4؉ cell count nor bacterial strain properties necessarily predicted the clinical presentation of HIV/AIDS patients with Salmonella (NTS) infection, and AIDS patients can have episodes of Salmonella enteritis without dissemination.
