The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was first described in the United States in 1981. Now nearly a decade later, about 100,000 cases of AIDS and more than 50,000 deaths are attributable to the AIDS pandemic in the United States. Worldwide, the toll is many times greater. The scientific community has responded to the challenge of AIDS with a remarkable effort. Thousands f scientists are in an all-out struggle to learn as much as possible about this epidemic. The degree of collaboration between scientists in the developing and developed worlds, between scientists and patients, and between scientists in a wide variety of disciplines ranging from molecular genetics to medical ethics is unprecedented. The International Conference on AIDS convened for the first time in Atlanta, Georgia in 1985 pro provide an opportunity for scientists and clinicians to share their knowledge and insights about AIDS. The need for such a conference was obvious then, and has grown over time. Since that first meeting in Atlanta, the meeting has grown from a gathering of a few hundred scientists discussing a small number of abstracts, to this year's 5th International Conference on AIDS, which drew over 11,000 scientists and more than 5,000 abstracts from all over the world. The 6th International Conference on AIDS will take place in San Francisco, California from June 20-24, 1990. Again, more than 10,000 scientists from around the world are expected to gather to learn about the cutting edge of scientific knowledge about HIV infection and AIDS. They will be joined by more than 1500 journalists ready to communicate any new insights to a world desperate for signs of progress. The Conference also provides an opportunity for scientists to meet informally and share insights. In fact, it is frequently used as a focal point for other meetings by groups ranging from the United States Public Health Service to community-based organizations specializing in AIDS prevention and research. We are asking for the support of the National Institutes of Health and the Public Health Service as we go forth with the planning of the 6th International Conference on AIDS. Our conference will be the first International Aids Conference not to be formally sponsored by a federal government. Through the generous support of our sponsor (University of California, San Francisco) and co-sponsors (World Health Organization, International AIDS Society, American Foundation for AIDS Research, and the City and County of San Francisco), conference planning is off to a solid start. We request federal support so that we may achieve the goals of the meeting: to present the most up-to-date scientific research about AIDS in an environment conducive to the exchange of information.

获得性免疫缺陷综合症（艾滋病）首次被描述于 1981 年的美国。近十年后的今天，大约有 10 万例 艾滋病和超过 50,000 人的死亡归因于艾滋病在 美国。 在世界范围内，死亡人数要高出许多倍。 科学界已通过以下方法应对艾滋病的挑战： 非凡的努力。 成千上万的科学家正在全力以赴地奋斗 尽可能多地了解这一流行病。 合作程度 发展中国家和发达国家的科学家之间、 科学家和患者，以及各行各业的科学家之间 从分子遗传学到医学伦理学的学科 空前的。 国际艾滋病会议首次在 1985 年佐治亚州亚特兰大专业为科学家和 临床医生分享他们有关艾滋病的知识和见解。 需要 这样的会议在当时是显而易见的，并且随着时间的推移而不断发展。 从那时起 第一次在亚特兰大举行会议，这次会议是从几个人的聚会发展而来的 一百名科学家讨论少量摘要，到今年 第五届国际艾滋病大会吸引了超过 11,000 名科学家和 来自世界各地的 5,000 多篇摘要。 第六届国际艾滋病大会将在旧金山举行 1990 年 6 月 20 日至 24 日在加利福尼亚州。再次，来自加州的 10,000 多名科学家 世界各地的人们将齐聚一堂，了解最前沿的技术 有关艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病的科学知识。 他们将加入 超过 1500 名记者随时准备向世界传达任何新见解 迫切希望取得进展的迹象。 会议还提供了 科学家们有机会非正式会面并分享见解。 实际上， 它经常被各种团体用作其他会议的协调中心 从美国公共卫生服务到社区为基础 专门从事艾滋病预防和研究的组织。 我们请求美国国立卫生研究院和 公共卫生服务与六大规划同步推进 国际艾滋病会议。 我们的会议将是第一个 国际艾滋病会议不是由联邦政府正式主办 政府。 通过我们的赞助商（大学）的慷慨支持 加利福尼亚州、旧金山）和共同发起者（世界卫生组织、 国际艾滋病协会、美国艾滋病研究基金会和 旧金山市和县），会议规划工作已经完成 开始。 我们请求联邦政府的支持，以便我们能够实现 会议：介绍有关艾滋病的最新科学研究 有利于信息交流的环境。
