FEW BREAKTHROUGHS AT CONFERENCE:
Improved AIDS treatments and a vaccine might be in sight by the end of the
decade. But the sixth International Conference on AIDS, which ended Sunday,
offered no breakthroughs for people already in advanced stages of the disease.
EDITOR DENOUNCES EARLY RESULTS:
Martin Delaney's early release of information on an experimental AIDS drug
trichosanthin, or Compound Q, was irresponsible, without verified results,
says New England Journal of Medicine editor Dr. Arnold Relman. Delaney
reported "significant improvement" in all his patients. He cautioned attendees
of San Francisco AIDS Conference it was too soon to conclude the drug was
successful.

AIDS' ETHICAL TANGLE WORSENING:
Ethical problems posed by AIDS will become worse as more of the one million
already infected Americans begin to show symptoms, say legal and medical
experts. "There is a perception in this country that individuals infected with
the HIV virus are mostly involved in deviant lifestyles and are not deserving
of sympathy or of concerted action," said Rep. J. Roy Rowland, D-Ga.
DRUG USERS TO GET NEEDLES:
Health workers can distribute sterile needles to drug users to help cut the
spread of AIDS under a new law signed by Hawaii Gov. John Waihee. Gov. Waihee
considered a veto, but changed his mind. "This thing can save lives," he
said.
