Britons Warned of AIDS Epidemic
By 1991, one million Britons may be afflicted with the killer disease AIDS if precautions are not taken immediately, the Royal College of Nursing said in a report Thursday.
The figures are based on the fact that in the United States and Britain, the number of people contracting acquired immune deficiency syndrome doubles every six months, the report said.
The spread of AIDS “is likely to increase inexorably until effective measures to combat it have been discovered by scientists,” the Times of London quoted a spokesman for the college as saying.
