An AIDS case is classified as ""early"" if the death occurred before 5 June 1981, when the AIDS epidemic was formally recognized by medical professionals in the United States. Human blood samples from 1959 and 1960 from Kinshasa, the capital and the largest city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the Congo River, led scientists to extrapolate the virus back to the early 1900s, likely around 1908 in Africa. Around that time the virus may have been transmitted from another species. Paralleling the HIV"

The initial cases were a cluster of injection drug users and gay men with no known cause of impaired immunity who showed symptoms of ""Pneumocystis jirovecii"" pneumonia (PJP), a rare opportunistic infection that was known to occur in people with very compromised immune systems. Soon thereafter, additional gay men developed a previously rare skin cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Many more cases of PJP and KS emerged, alerting U.S. Centers for Disease Control and"

The AIDS epidemic has been and continues to be highly localized due to a number of complex socio-cultural factors that affect the interaction of the populous communities that inhabit New York. During the 1980s epidemic, the large presence of the gay community prompted local medical practitioners to take note of and respond to observed patterns of reported ailments early on. Widespread fear and panic about the epidemic were combatted by efforts of community activists and local government"
