MAP OF AIDS' DEADLY MARCH EVOLVES FROM HEPATITIS STUDY
SAN FRANCISCO –In the late 1970s, thousands of homosexual and bisexual men came to San Francisco's public venereal diseases clinic to participate in a government-sponsored study of hepatitis B.
As they gave blood for the project, they had no way of knowing that a time bomb was ticking on a then-unknown disease far more threatening than anyone could have imagined and that the signs of the future epidemic AIDS lay hidden in the vials they filled.
AIDS lay hidden in the vials
By 1987, health authorities had learned at least 600 of the 6,700 participants had acquired immune deficiency syndrome. About 375 of them were dead from it. And a sample survey taken shows that about 70 percent of the participants tested positive for the AIDS antibody – indicating that they likely were carrying the virus.
For them, and for all of those involved in the study, the figures are tragic testimony to the speed and virulence of the epidemic some experts predict could become the worst in modern history.
In 1981, the hepatitis study produced a major victory: a hepatitis vaccine tested on the San Francisco group and in several other cities worked. But there was little chance to celebrate, as health officials began to worry about something far more ominous than hepatitis.
At a May 1981 meeting in San Diego, Paul M. O'Malley heard of a mysterious new illness, one which had caused homosexual men in California and New York to die of rare forms of pneumonia and cancer. Something was apparently attacking their immune systems. A few weeks later the first five cases were cautiously announced to the world in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Report.
O'Malley got involved when a man in the hepatitis study called and said he had come down with Kaposi's sarcoma, a skin cancer associated with what would come to be known as AIDS. His interest intensified when many of the first AIDS cases in San Francisco 11 of the first 24 in 1981 turned out to be participants in the hepatitis project.
Many of the hepatitis participants had filled out elaborate questionnaires about their lives, from sexual habits to drug use. In 1983, CDC and the city health department agreed to contact a sample of the participants and question them again to see if they could isolate special risk factors for AIDS.
By the spring of 1984, researchers at the Pasteur Institute in France and the National Cancer Institute had isolated the cause of AIDS, a new virus that knocked out key immune system cells. And CDC began using an experimental blood test to look for antibodies to the virus.
Using the test and samples of the frozen blood, the researchers tracked the footprints of the AIDS epidemic in the San Francisco men. They found that:Undetected, the virus had spread rapidly among this group of sexually active men. With the consent of the participants, CDC randomly tested stored blood samples and found about 3 percent of the gay men in the hepatitis study showed antibodies to the then-unknown AIDS virus in 1978, rising quickly to 12 percent in 1979, 20 percent in 1980 and 36 percent in 1981. By 1983, 62 percent were positive.

Although the rise has since slowed, preliminary results show that more than 70 percent of those tested in 1986 follow-up studies were positive on the AIDS antibody blood test. A positive antibody blood test generally signals long-term infection. Many people initially hoped that a positive AIDS antibody blood test meant past exposure to the AIDS virus but did not have serious long-term consequences. But CDC studies using data from the San Francisco project have since found that the virus can in fact be found in the blood of most of those who are positive. Because many people in the hepatitis vaccine study gave frequent blood samples, instances in which a person converted from negative to positive can often be pinpointed within months. For every case of AIDS, there are far more people who may be infected with the virus but show no symptoms. The government's oft-quoted projections that more than 1.5 million Americans may already be infected with the virus, in addition to over 29,000 reported AIDS cases nationally, is based in part on what has happened to these San Francisco men. In San Francisco, the gap is closing faster. In a selected sample of 66 infected men followed for an average of about six years, one-fourth have already developed AIDS and more than one-third have developed symptoms of illness that sometimes precedes AIDS. Only 25 men 38 percent remain free of symptoms, said Nancy Hessol, a statistical expert with the San Francisco study. There are exceptions. Four people who have been antibody-positive for at least nine years based on stored blood samples from January 1978 still have not come down with AIDS, O'Malley said.
Doug Franks, now a 34-year-old research associate for the San Francisco AIDS study, has been exposed to and presumably infected with the AIDS virus.
He said that in the late 1970s he had numerous sexual relationships with men and women, including a 1978 affair with San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk shortly before he was slain by a political foe. In 1979, Franks came to the city clinic for a checkup and became a participant in the hepatitis B study. In 1984, Franks heard of the new AIDS study and volunteered to be tested again.
Last year, he was hired by the health department and asked to work on the AIDS project, conducting interviews with study volunteers. He also decided to learn his own AIDS test results.
Over the last three years, about 2,000 men who participated in the original hepatitis study have been contacted and 1,200 of them have been included in the new AIDS study. Now the San Francisco AIDS project is starting an expanded nationwide effort to find the remaining 4,700 men who participated in the original study and confidentially ask for their help in hopes of finding more clues about why some people get AIDS and others don't.
Negotiations are under way with a drug company to offer some men in the study a chance to participate in a new study of the anti-AIDS drug AZT and its effect on those who have been infected with the AIDS virus but shown no symptoms of illness. Those who have received the highly publicized drug thus far have largely been AIDS patients.
The San Francisco researchers are sensitive to the need to offer the AIDS study participants whatever help should become available, rather than simply follow the men over time.
"We don't want to be accused of being the Tuskegee of AIDS," said Dr. George W. Rutherford, medical director of the San Francisco health department's AIDS office. The Tuskegee Institute study was a controversial federally funded study of untreated syphilis, begun in 1932, in which the effects of the disease in black men in rural Tuskegee, Ala., were followed for 40 years, even after penicillin treatment became available.
