The Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. An Air Force Readiness Issue

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine present Air Force policy on HIV infection and determine its adequacy for the future based on the predicted course of the AIDS epidemic. Information concerning AIDS and HIV infection for both the general population as well as the Air Force population was reviewed and presented to provide an assessment of the AIDS epidemic in the United States and in the Air Force. Based on the examination of Air Force policy on HIV infection and the predicted course of the AIDS epidemic, this study did not conclusively determine the adequacy of the policy for the future. At present, Air Force policy on HIV infection appears to be suitable for the reason that the number of HIV infected individuals in the Air Force is insignificant. Keywords: Personnel management, policies, Air Force personnel, Air Force planning. (JES)
