What was the earliest case of AIDS? What will happen to the skin at the early stage of AIDS

AIDS was first discovered in California, USA. In June 1981, five strong young men in California developed pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. This is a rare type of pneumonia that typically occurs among patients with weakened immune systems. Therefore, the diseases of these five young people have attracted the attention of the local medical community. The survey shows that these five young people have a history of homosexuality. In July of the same year, 26 cases of Kaposi's sarcoma were reported, and new cases were continuously discovered, indicating the onset of a new infection. Afterwards, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States released a new bulletin listing 10 other similar rare cases, including 2 cases of rare skin cancer Kaposi's sarcoma, also known as multiple hemorrhagic sarcoma of the skin. In December 1981, Rosenberg, a clinical physician at the Claude Bernard Hospital in Paris, France, also diagnosed two young gay men suffering from Kaposi's sarcoma, confirming that AIDS also occurred in France.

In the United States, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia originally only occurred in patients with severely suppressed resistance and was not harmful to healthy individuals. It is an opportunistic infection with extreme immune failure. The above 5 patients always have a healthy body and no candidate with low immune function, which is abnormal for them to develop this disease. These 5 patients are all male homosexuals, and this disease may be related to a homosexual lifestyle or transmitted through sexual contact. Shortly after, medical staff confirmed Kaposi's sarcoma in another 26 cases of homosexuality. Afterwards, several homosexuals with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia were discovered in New York, both male and female, who were drug users with a common history of injection.

In January 1982, a 55 year old male in the United States died of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. He is neither a homosexual nor an intravenous drug user, but a hemophiliac who has used blood products. After his death, two similar cases were discovered in the United States. Subsequently, many countries have also reported similar cases, which are patients with acquired immune deficiency and can cause opportunistic infections through general contact, which has attracted global attention.

In September 1982, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States officially named this disease Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, abbreviated as AIDS.
