The World - News from Nov. 29, 1985

A Soviet medical authority said that not a sigle case of acquired immune deficiency syndrome has been reported so far in the Soviet Union. Dr. Boris V. Petrovsky, director of the National Institute of Surgery in Moscow, told reporters that although there has been no sign of AIDS, the disease could still occur. Saying the question is “more social than medical,” he urged care in blood transfusions and campaigns against prostitution and “sexual perversions.”
