DOCTORS RESEARCH ORAL HIV:
The National Institute of Dental Research has launched a epidemiologic
study on the oral effects of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Why: To
document the prevalence and incidence of oral conditions that appear during
various stages of HIV infection and define risk factors associated with the
conditions.
GROUP ISSUES CPR GUIDELINES:
Because of the hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus scare, the
Emergency Cardiac Care Committee of the American Heart Association has revised
its guidelines, reports the Journal of the American Medical Association's Nov.
17 issue. Changes: CPR rescuers can begin chest compressions before
ventilating a victim.

MANY AIDS CASES NOT REPORTED:
In South Carolina between 1986 and 1987, only 59 percent of AIDS cases were
reported, reports Journal of the American Medical Association's Nov. 24 issue.
Why: Cases among whites and Midwesterners are not reported probably because
doctors want to protect confidentiality, insurance coverage. Fear:
Underreporting could be across the U.S. (From the USA TODAY Life section.)
