Abstract

A member of the President's Commission on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Epidemic reviews the Commission's work. Gebbie, who represented the public health community, briefly summarizes what the Commission did and did not accomplish in attempting to carry out its charge to "advise the President and Secretary of Health and Human Service and other relevant cabinet heads on public health dangers including medical, legal, ethical, social and economic impact, from the spread of the HIV and resulting illnesses." She concludes with an argument for increased funding for state public health departments which have a major role to play in controlling the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
