BG> "Expanded AIDS Definition Called 'Lifeline' for Thousands" United
BG> Press International (12/31/92)
BG> New York--The new federal AIDS surveillance definition was
BG> enacted on Friday, and one family health agency called the change "a
BG> lifeline" for thousands of HIV-positive Americans. Jane Johnson,
BG> vice president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said,
BG> "The broader definition for AIDS focuses attention on the importance
BG> of testing for HIV and increases the probability that more women,
BG> particularly poor women, with HIV will more promptly be diagnosed and
BG> treated." The new definition will help qualify a person considered to
BG> have AIDS for vital public entitlement programs and will result in
BG> health care providers providing better care for such patients.
