BULLOUGH Professor at Weber State says 2 million are carriers of AIDS Close to two million people in the United States are carriers of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome viruse, or have AIDS, a Weber State College professor said. Dr. Gordon B. James, an associate professor of health education at Weber State, said that even though a person is infected with the virus it doesnt mean they will get the disease. But at the same time, once infected they can pass the virus on to others. Dr. James said, Fifty percent of those who have the virus will probably remain well, 25 percent might develop AIDS related complex. We really dont know, nobody really knows for sure. The thing we do know is that one to two percent of those infected develop AIDS each year. He added, One third of those who develop the disease will develop skin cancer, one half will have lung disorders, 40 percent will die within the first year and 80 percent will die within two years. The overall death rate is 50 percent. ; And for the near future it doesnt look like any preventative treatment will be successful, fie noted. The disease is transmitted sexually or through contaminated needles or blood. Homosexual are the highest risk group, he said, 4nd 73 percent of all known AIDS cases are among gays. People who have had blood transfusions are the next largest group With 1.3 percent of that population developing the disease. :Dr. James said that it seems that the kind of sex heterosexuality or seem to be as bisexuality-does- nt much a factor in getting the disease as does the numbers of sexual partners. He said, A survey among gay men showed that they had an average of 1,000 sexual partners. To be transmitted there must be an exchanges of body fluids, Dr. James said, and while the AIDS virus has been found in tears and in saliva those fluids do not have a high concentra- - tion of the virus and there are no known infections from an exchange of those fluids. -- involved--hbmosexualit- Chiropractor if You Have Any of He noted that some who have virus.

Save to y, Blood and semen are the principal body fluids that transmit the disease and contrary to common misconceptions Dr. James said AIDS cannot be contracted through handshakes, doorknobs, in the public swimming pool or at a public rest rooms. He said, The AIDS virus does not live out of the human host. Once in the body the AIDS viof rus attacks genetic make-u- p the white blood cells, which are designed to eliminated invading organisms. The body does built up antibodies against the virus, but Dr. James said these are ineffective in fighting the disease. Once the AIDS virus begins a systematic attack on the immune systems it eventually makes it so that even a cold becomes dangerous to the victim. He said that recently developed tests can detect the presence of the AIDS antibodies. That has made blood donations and transfusions in hospitals and at other health care locations safe since June of last year safe, but he noted that a vaccine for the disease probably wont be developed until 1990 with total control estimated for the year 2000. But even then control will be difficult, and to date preven- - tion is the best that can be hoped for. No one who has caught the disease has ever had their immune system restored, he said.
