June 5, 1981: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issues its first report on a cluster of medical cases in what will soon become known as the AIDS epidemic. This report described an unusual cluster of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in people who otherwise appeared to be healthy; this opportunistic infection had previously been seen only in people who were known to have compromised immune systems. The human immunodeficiency virus would be identified some time between 1984 and 1986.
