In 5 iunie 1981, Agentia federala de epidemiologie din Atlanta (SUA), Center for diseases control (CDC) prezinta in publicatia Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) cinci cazuri de pneumonie severa cu Pneumocystis carinii la tineri homosexuali, pe fondul unor anomalii severe ale imunitatii.

La sfarsitul anului 1981, CDC ajunge la concluzia ca este vorba despre un agent infectios transmis pe cale sexuala. Boala nu avea inca un nume. Se propun: GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency – Deficienţă de imunitate relativ la homosexualitate) si “Sindromul homosexualului compromis”.

In anul urmator denumirea stabilita avea sa fie Sidromul Imunodeficienţei Dobandite (AIDS – SIDA).
